I am 29, a short girl, neither beautiful nor sexy!!Sometimes I do hate myself when people tell me: OMG you look like a child!! (Even though it's true!!) but I convinced myself the fact that when it is the truth, no need to get worried about it. I cried once, twice, thrice since I felt fed up.

My ex-boyfriend was ashamed because I was with him since I am not a beautiful girl. That affected me a lot since I am not to be blame I am like that!!

My current boyfriend sometimes tells me that I am ugly.. I am perplexed with my figure. Once my nephew told me I would never go out with someone like u because u r too short!!

Am I to be blame if I am short?! 😞

Well for starters everyone has beautiful traits to them EVERYONE I too am short and I take advantage of it by saying I’m fun sized and just being comfortable in my skin.....truthfully you should find the inner beauty in you and forget what anyone says sometimes it hurts when we receive negative comments from our loved ones because their opinions matter the most

Your not short, you are a lovable little package. I am on the short side, my Mother used to tell me diamonds come in small packages, as does strength in a stick of dynamite. I tell people I am preshrunk.

It sounds to me like you have some unkind people in your life, especially your boyfriends, I would ditch them if it was me. And avoid the nephew, these people are ignorant. Believe in yourself, true beauty is with in, work on letting it shine out, people like me because I am kind, generous and honest. I thru therapy learnt to love myself, it is a lovely feeling and gets me along well in my life.

Be kind to yourself, enjoy your life, trying new things and a decent person will come along. I send you strength, peace, love n hugs.....Sprinkle 1....

When I was in group therapy our therapist asked "Who loves themselves" about 4 out of the ten put their hands up. So then he went on to tell us we are all lovable, and we must learn to love, like and respect ourselves, it was a Mon. eve, he said I want you to go home, look in your mirror and say "I love You". I was so pumped up, I went to my bathroom turned on the light and said "I, I, I, then shut of the light and went to read. I tried to do it a few times, the next week he asked who had succeeded, me No. He told us is he could love us, and we could love him, what was stopping us? I finally got the hang of it, it is a wonderful feeling, made my life so much nicer. We need to be our own best friend, it is alright to love and give, but when we give too much of ourselves, it leaves us depleted, and as Gayle Sheehy would say "You cannot give from an empty bowl" we have to put ourselves first. So practice self love & see how your life improves. It will take time but the reward is fantastic. I wish you well, you can do it, write to us for help, we offer support and understanding,

sending love, peace and clarity with big hugs.....Sprinkle short one.......

This strikes a chord with me because I am only 5'0 tall. I have NEVER been happy with my height, even now. But I never had a problem finding boyfriends or a husband. What do you consider "too" short? My mother was only 4'11" and it NEVER bothered her. My daughter is your age and 5'1 and it doesn't bother her one bit either. And for me, it is a COMPLIMENT when someone says that I look much younger! You will appreciate that as you get older.!

I'm short as well. I don't believe you should let anyone call you ugly.

You're beautiful just like that.

Gosh you definitely should surround yourself with people who don’t put you down like that! A little story I am tall and men don’t like you to be taller than them I’ve been told before and not to wear heals or this or that. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG in being short , you are unique and individual and its personality that counts. I have trouble with trying to live myself so thanks for the comments guys I will try that. Do you just literally say I love myself in front of the mirror each day?

No I do not say "I love you" in front of the mirror everyday, once I got the hang of it, I can say it anywhere and any time. Try it it works for me. That was 30 years ago, so now I do not even have to say it, because I know it. I wish you well, and a joyful rest of your life, love n hugs Sprinkle 1......
