Although I agree somewhat,many here are simply mentally ill(those 5ft 7 and above),it's also not as simple as that. Your'e expected by society to behave a particular way because you're short.
If you're intelligent,you're compensating.If you want to workout or study martial arts,you're compensating.If you wear shoes with heels that are less than 1 inch, you're compensating.If you're wealthy, you're compensating.
I have sucess with women because I'm good looking (I look like a younger Faaarquad apparently lmao), but I know the damage done to my phsyce can't be reversed ever- even after the surgery. My only option is to ' rise above it'-literally and hopefully I'll get a taste of normality for once in my life.
Short men face relentless abuse because of their height.And, unfortunately,the way society treats you permeates into every aspect of your life.
A consequence of this is that it makes your personality perpetually insecure and unnerved. People notice this and,like animals,attack you even more.They will say it's just 'banter' , but it becomes infuriating as you can't even ' bite back ' for fear of others labelling you as insecure.It all creates a positive feedback loop.
For me getting the surgery isn't entirely about the increase in height,but for the chance to experience life without this mentality. Still the damage is already done and I know I'll never be whole again.
