it's strange, no?

[KiloKAHN]

That's a case where I think talking to a therapist could be of benefit. More than CLL anyway.

It depends on your surrounding, sometimes 182 is on the shorter side. I don't think however that lengthening your legs will help you, the problem is most likely in your head.

Even if it is on the short side of things, are we really going to recommend to everyone who feels short, regardless if they are or aren't short, that the best way to cure their mental problem is by breaking bones? I'm not going against this specific post, but more general terms about the variety of people that come to this forum. I know it's extremely hypocritical of me to say, but wouldn't it be best to accept one's limitations?

OP: Try Therapy, I think if you're going to break a bone you might as well try every other single solution to fix your neurosis before making such a huge decision.

No, its not. WHen you are 182 and go out with 2 guys that are 185-190 and there are 2 girls who are 175 but with heels become 180-182 (basically like you), then you are simply out 

Nevertheless, at 182 starting height, even if the above scanior occurs, just accept you were out of luck and well...move on.

Invest the money in quality clothes, build an awesome body and this will give you confidence. Please don't break your legs on purpose .

Not strange if you're from Scandinavia or Netherlands, I don't think so.

[aspirant185]

In Eastern/Central Europe it is not very different than in Scandinavia + Netherlands.

You sound like someone with a 100 million dollar bank account complaining about feeling poor. I second the therapist suggestion.

[chineseguy]

yes.   very strange


where you from?you can migrate to asia or south america or usa so you will feel tall

[Uppland]

No I think many men around average height feel short sometimes, just like many decent looking men feel ugly sometimes, competent men feel useless or what have you.

[Deads]

Getting over seeing people who are 182-183+ crying about their height. Once you're in the 6 foot range then you have issues if you still feel short or still feel some sort of drawback from your height.

I live in Belgium, the average man height is 179.8 (2011).

I'm not really feeling "short", I feel average with my generation.
I just look at me in the mirror and my tibia look short (compare to my torso), so it is like my proportion are bad, even 175 cm guys look taller than me.

So he can look strange, but I want to grow up my tibia to get better body proportion, not to get taller... I don't give a fk that people are little taller than me. This is just that my body proportion make me fell not normal.

Don't do this surgery to improve proportions, unless your tibae is far outside the normal range and causes issues with your stride.

[aspirant185]

I think I know what you mean. I am 178 and my legs just feel short. For example, at the airplane before boarding I was next to a guy that seemed somewhat taller than me at 180 but we happened to sit next to each other and my sitting height was ''significantly'' higher than his, while his legs were significantly longer than mine. I feel I have the potential to lengthen my legs for a total of 183 to become proportionate or even to 185-6 to still be OK with proportions. My wingspan is 183.5

[Motreaz]

I feel same 'aspirant', I feel like my body was supposed to be taller, but I never reach my max height but I'm 20, maybe I will still grow, but I don't grow up in 20 months, so ...dk

You titled your thread "feeling short".. Now all of a sudden you dont feel short and it's just a proportion thing.

Please don't clog up this forum looking to get approval for your desire to get LL at nearly 6 feet tall. It's stupid no matter what way you spin it.

[Motreaz]

rude...I just come here to talk about this, but ok, bye

[Alu]

Should have clarified instead of leaving a vague statement that doesn't lead anywhere.

As per your Tibia thing...don't do it. Not worth it for fixing "proportions" issues you think you might have (here's a check, measure your knee height)
