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.
Theres things about being short that arent imemdiately apparent, as I assume there is about being tall too. Unfortunately one of the things about being short is people are less likely to take you seriously. Man or woman, people tend to take taller people more seriously and associate them with confidence, authority, and competence a lot more than shorter people. There is also a wage gap between shorter and taller folks.
People treat short people like children so often it’s infuriating. God damn so much.
