I think obsessing with one's own height or others' height is part of human nature.I dont think we can fight against this

Its definitely very hard to fight heightism. Its a celebrated and accepted prejudice. But it hurts a lot of people.

I'm sorry Wants2GrowTaller. I'm not trying to be insenstive. My apologies.   All seriousness, I do understand the struggle that Heightism brings. Afterall, I'm a 5'1" man in Southern California.   Maybe we can start by creating a website and generate some interest in the topic of Height-ism?

That is a great question.  First and foremost, I want to be clear and say that I did not like being short....but honestly, I never allowed height to define who I was going to be in the world.   I realized that I could still have everything I wanted despite the fact that I was short and male.  As far as aesthetics, I always took great care of my self and had lots of confidence.  I ignored the ignorant and I focused on my own thing.  I had goals and I wanted certain things and I went after those things and I attained those things.  I didn't spend too much time worrying about what others were thinking of me.   Having said that... I still wanted to be taller and once it became reasonably possible, I went after it.  Now I'm 5'3 and should be 5'4 by the end of the March.   The one thing in life I did not accomplish was growing and.... I can now check that box off.   

I dealt with my height.... and I chose to not deal with anyone that would pre-judge in an unfair way due to my height.
