Title: Why Do I Look Taller Compared To Others In Side View?
Post by: SuperHero2111 on December 23, 2016, 03:01:50 AM
I have noticed that, when I am comparing my height to that of others through reflections, I often look a lot shorter than some people in front view, but, then, from the side view, I appear at least as tall as them, if not slightly taller.
What's up here? Which view do I take as being my true height?

Why did you post this question on this forum?  What does this have to do with limb lengthening.

It's about height. And this is the height section of the forum.

A person's perceived height is usually judged at the eye level

Yes, maybe SuperHero tilts their head slightly when looking in side view.

I don't mean I feel taller based on how high up others seem to me in side view. I mean that, literally, my reflection in the glass looks taller than others when I am walking in front of or behind someone else, and there is glass to our side, and I am looking at it.
