Whenever I tell someone that I wish i was shorter, they are always taken a back(being masculine presenting). I am just over 6 ft, in my country, that’s a bit above average height. Its not like I am a gaint or anything but I am always aware how intimidating I look. Also, the country where I live doesn’t feel like it build for people my size. Mini-van for transportation that squish my knees, ceiling that are a bit too low for my taste, showers space that’s too small.
But also, I feel like a bumbling idiot (I suspect I have Dysprixa) and hate standing out so much. I may have Body dysmorphia. Its like how I would like to be seen and how I feel, are the exact opposite to how I seen. I feel small, soft, in a relationship, I would prefer to take on the "feminine " role. I feel nothing like a man.
Anyone else relates to this.
Be ready for a different type of comment pushing back then.
I’m a 5’9"ish woman and routinely have guys insist I’m taller than 6’ because they’re shorter than me and they’re 6’ so I must be like 6’2".
I’m a 5’3 dude and sometimes I’ll have other short dudes be like “No you’re not! I’m 5’8 and you’re only like 2 inches shorter than me!”. As if being 5’8 is even sufficient for anyone who actually cares about our height.
My brother does this to me.
Can confirm. Am same 5’9".
Like there are two measuring systems. One for guys that rounds up by a few inches. What also is funny is I am keeping my height better than my husband (yoga really rocks for that), but he is always taller than me in his mind, and probably always will be.
