So I am about 172cm during the day. A bit over 5'8 in the morning, and over 5'7 at night.
Realistically, my height has stopped me from nothing. I am 32 years old, and I could've slept with 100+ girls by now. I have had girlfriends who are 5'6 and 5'7, even 5'8. Women at that height tend to think I'm cute.
Career wise, I don't think it would've limited me. Especially if I wore some lifts.
But my dysphoria has gotten worse and worse in the last few years. The anxiety is all coming from within me. It is not caused by anything external.
I am stalling in my life, relationships and career because I can't accept being this height for life.
The real horror idea for me is after my 40s, if I lose height I may be in the 5'6s at night time.
To be honest I think the only solution for me is to get the 2 inches lengthening. I don't see the dysphoria going away.
Think I am going to start working my @$$ off and saving for it now. A few months of recovery to forget about it the rest of my life.
Main point I wanted to make from this thread is that IT IS HUNDRED PERCENT ALL CREATED BY ME, NOT ANY EVENTS THAT HAVE ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO ME.
It's funny how us humans are..
