I feel you bro, i felt insecure about my english grammar and being a bit slow in terms of common sense and my friends made fun of it, thought it was funny, teased me about it but now i dont care abt it cause i joked about it. I tried turning the things that brings me down into something that can lighten me AND my friends up
SteelGoldfish just don’t like to get bullshit replies Even tho I try to help people. So I just removed it bro... Many people think I am trying to scam lol where am not a ripper. I have enough money to take care of myself.
I had a girl who I was with a year ago (before covid). She was taller than me. I'm 5'4'' and she's 5'7'. We slept together the first time we dated and I even met her sister (also taller than me). She was sweet with me when we're alone but when her sister is around, she always make fun of my height, calling me a kid. Being my love interest, I would expect her to defend me but instead she initiates bullying me. Her sister was actually kind enough not to join her (maybe out of courtesy). So I stopped dating her before our relationship got more serious. Don't let people humiliate you. Walk away when they disrespect you.
To every one who has a height insecurity, it's okay and it dosent matter how tall you are, people only like to boost about their height because they do not have any other thing to boost about
The world is cruel I worked at a job for 3 years and I was made fun of my looks even my height and how skinny I was. I worked with ppl much older then me and I hated it I can’t live a good life sometimes cause my height does bring me down I pray to God sometimes and hope he makes me grow. All because I am short and skinny ppl try to take advantage of me I hate that.
Just a bit of info, but every guy below 5'10" (5'9" can sneak by) is exactly the same. We are all grouped together. 4' 10" to 5'9" are all unconciously "deformed" in the minds of women. So you, me (5'7") and him are all suffering the same. But remember society's standards are depraved and unhealthy. Reject them. Don't allow society to judge you. It's not qualified to judge your worth.
@@holeymcsockpuppet I'm 5'9 and don't experience any short problems compared to men way shorter then me from what I've heard lol like wtf a 4'10 guy has it way worse in life then somebody who is the average height of 5'9?. You can't compare almost a foot difference in height.
5'1(edit: 5’2 now, but still...)... I really struggle with my height, and people always say that I'm way too insecure about it, but I can't help it. It feels like anytime that I ever look at anyone, all I think is "they're taller than me." It really messes with my head, and I've been starting to feel more, and more depressed. Maybe I'm overreacting, but just typing this out is seriously sickening for me. Though, I guess that's why I'm watching videos to help change that attitude...
I'm 6ft tall, 26 years old, single, and considered good looking. My two best friends from college are 5ft 6in and 5 ft 8in. Both are engaged to get married this year and have already purchased a home. I'm unemployed and live in a shitty apartment. Height isn't everything guys
I try hard to feel confident about my height, but it’s so hard to when I can’t go a single day without being reminded that I’m short, my self esteem is at an all time low, I usually just laugh off all the jokes about my height but on the inside I’m really hurt by every single comment, this video helped man thank you. 🙏🏼🤟
Omg this is so true I am a female and I try everyday to be confident and love myself and spread positivity to everyone around just for someone to make a nasty comment about my height and expect it to be funny and now my whole day is ruined when I have been trying so hard.But you're right you just have to smile through the pain😭😭
@@sepomushaukwa9006 I’m not saying you shouldn’t be hurt because of your height but it’s not the same as a girl. What are the reasons for you being insecure about your height? Guys will never not approach you because of your height. It’s a lot worst for us guys because 99% of woman on earth don’t want a short guy
@@DA-db9bi thanks I hear you I am pretty but I just feel like a kid and want to look my age and be taken seriously, I really can't take the short jokes that's why😭 Sorry to hear that because if I am feeling this way I can imagine howw it must be for a guy. From a girls perspective yes they really to talk about a man's height but if he has money they don't care about his height example Kevin Hart but it's wrong cause everyone wants to be loved for who they are and not what they have. By the way thanks to technology there's also surgery for it, so that could be an option if it really bothers you In the future I might get it if my height keeps effecting me mentally 😭😭
@@sepomushaukwa9006 the surgery you’re talking about is way too risky an expensive besides if I were to get the surgery it will only make me grow 3 inches an I will be 5’6 which is still very short. I think I’m 5’3 but my license says I’m exactly 5’0 so surgery won’t help me anyway
I'm 5'0 and I deal with this everyday. I'm so sad and depressed. Then people act like it's not a problem or it don't matter to subtly disrespect you like you suppose to be ok with it. "Just laugh with them" no just treat me with equality. You can't even tell people cause they try make you crazy like it's in your head like nobody doing nothing. It's family friends and usually the ones close to you
Omg your so right but I am a female and 5ft too.Like wow people think its okay to just make nasty comments about your height and say it's a joke and it should be funny,but they wouldn't do it to fat people because it would be considered serious body shaming.Short people matter to and deserve the same respect.And yes it be your own family making you feel like nothing.I have gotten the absolute worst insults about my height from my own family and it really hurts to the pinot I would laugh through it and cry alone later😭😭😢😢😭😭
@@sepomushaukwa9006 you're a girl, you guys play a different game when it comes to height, you need not have tall heights to be able to be even called a woman Every height for you is feminine, y'all is model like, short is cute like but with men it's a whole different thing if you're short you're nothing but only if you're tall you're accepted as a male
I’m 5’4 and I absolutely hate it every day. It’s always in the back of my mind each and every day. I was always on the smaller side as a young kid but was never noticeably shorter than my peers and was hardly ever insecure about it. That all changed in high school where I only grew like 1 inch and than everyone else had massive growth spurts and now tower over me. I have felt suicidal thoughts bcuz of my height insecurity and just suffer with the pain of dealing with this. It just fucked me up in my mind.
Its too hard being ugly and short at the same time. Its like life is in a hall of fame difficulty. Social anxiety haunts and creeps in every single damn time.
@@lorenzcastillo6484 hey don't treat yourself like that. Have a great day! God Bless! Stay strong, stay safe and take care of yourselves! Wishing everyone the best! Jesus loves you! May the Holy Spirit guide you! 😇 💗🕊 Cheers to a better year buddy! 💞🥂🍻
BlackPilled Vegan that’s the wrong attitude. Quit the self pity and all the bullshit. We just have to work harder. Also if the girls you like only care about looks you’re going after the wrong ones
I hate it when people are like "i HATE being tall." Like there are so many people out there that want to be tall and the people that actually are complain about it
Why is it more okay for you to complain about being short than someone who is tall. Both are insecurities that those individual people have and insecurities are often validated by your own mind, and you dwell in them, and all the things you hate about them, and wish you weren't this or that. Whether tall or short, you have to find it in yourself to figure out how to get through that insecurity so you can love that part of you too because height is not going to change once you're an adult.
Imagine being 6’10, dude people are staring at you and you are attracting unwanted attention everywhere you go. I don’t meant to say that overly tall is better than being short but I can understand where the insecurity of both being tall and short comes from.
but this is not ok to say, its the same vise versa and I am 13 and 5"7 and still haven't had my period and don't try and tell me its ok because you have to be happy in your body and if you're going to sit here and tell me that being tall is good then don't bother you may want to be tall but I don't and people are here to overcome an insecurity and re search not be hated on so don't. do you want to feel insecure every time there is a school event? All the guys shorter than you? Never messages boys because im too scared they're still 5"5, thats how it feels, I visit my home country and BAM, Nancy you're so tall says my 5"0 grandma, my 5"1 mum and my 4"11 auntie
I'm 5'9 from Pakistan, I was never insecure about my height until I moved to Germany where most of the guys are taller and almost all the women are the same height as me.
Screw that man You are taller than an average South Asian And there is nothing we can do coz it is our genetics Just like you are not insecure about not being blonde
I’m only 5’3” and very insecure about my height.. There was this tall, handsome, athletic guy back in college who gets every girl including my gf! I hated myself so much & my insecurity got worse over the years to the point that I wanted to commit suicide already.. Years later, I found out this same guy got in a car accident & his legs were amputated. I never wished this to happen to him. But now he spends the rest of his life in a wheelchair.. I realized that I need to be thankful for everything. Even the small things in life. And live your life to the fullest because you’ll never know what will happen tomorrow.. and you’re right.. Someone else always have it worse than you..
I am nearly 16 years old and have depression because of my height... I hate my life and want it to end. Every time when I am with friends or at the mall I get anxiety...
@Jan Bily Thanks... I am sorry for what you have gone through. I am in therapie and think everything is getting better but I still have days where I question if my life is worth living. My depression took many years of my life... The thought that there are so many experiences I couldn't make destroys me every day. I promise myself to stop wasting my time and to start going out of my comfort zone but it is so fucking hard. Every day I hear some stupid kids saying they have depression but a lot of them don't even know how real depression and social anxiety feel. But even tough I think about it sometimes, I would never commit suicide because I have a little brother that I love and me killing myself would destroy his future. I don't want him to be the one with the brother that committed suicide.
I’m 5’2. I’ve always been depressed, not necessarily just do specifically with my height but everything else that stems from it. I’ve started on anti depressants and therapy recently
Thanks for the video my friend. I’m 5’6” and just about to join the Police. My height has always held me back and affected me, it still does. But I want to do something worthwhile and to make a difference to society. I’ve always been the type of person to stand up for others despite not being the biggest person.. it’s almost like I always feel the need to prove myself and show that I am capable. Thanks for the video my friend. All the best from 🇬🇧
When you go to a bar or club, and everyone is taller than you... You are deemed not to standout, less masculine, less the superhero... Online dating, height is what everyone looks for...you are considered less attractive by default and based on metrics alone... Dealing with the thought that every average Joe out there whatever his face is more attractive simply because he has 3 inches on you.... ALL of this is in YOUR head and you realize this is you NOT them...and you have to defeat these thoughts... It isn't easy though!
Indeed! Thanks for the reminder. Have a great day! God Bless! Stay strong, stay safe and take care of yourselves! Wishing everyone the best! Jesus loves you! May the Holy Spirit guide you! 😇 💗🕊 Cheers to a better year buddy! 💞🥂🍻
Being just 5'6 I can understand you I feel less masculine I am from india I thought most of the Indians are pretty short like me but to my surprise they aren't they are very tall like 6'0, 5'11, 5'9 damn I feel very insecure about it I really want my height to be atleast please god atleast 5'8 I am gonna cry
Thank you bro, We all have challenges and insecurities. I'm sharing mine in the hope that others realize there is not much different between you and I. We are all human beings.
I get waves of depression when I step outside the house at 5’6. When a majority of the men in public places are way taller. I start to reflect and it sucks because it just limits me on things like women for instances.
Idk how tall I am. Maybe 5'6. Maybe 5'7. When I go to get a physical, I tell the nurse to not even tell me my height. I've been dealing with my height insecurity since a kid! Ever since grade school, I was made fun of and unfortunately, I still here the same jokes til this day. Today at work, a kid came over to me and asked "Why are you so short?" It broke me. It made me have suicidal thoughts. This is something that I'll never be able to get away from. I hate my height with all of my heart. All it has done is brought me severe ridicule and it makes me look weird when I take pictures with others or when I'm standing in a group of friends and family members. My oldest nephew is taller than me and I'm scared to post pics of him and I because I know what the general public will say about the uncle who's smaller than his nephew. I'm afraid to date a girl who is even close to my height because with heels on, she's almost towering over me. I will never accept my height. Being (I even hate using the word) short is complete Hell and if I wasn't such a punk, I would've...well you know. My heart is so broken. My spirit is immensely tired. I have even looked into surgery to eliminate this life-long issue. I will never understand why God made me this way.
Am sorry you have to feel that way. But rest assured there are more important things out there in life and many experiences out in store. So go have your adventure. Have a great day! God Bless! Stay strong, stay safe and take care of yourselves! Wishing everyone the best! Jesus loves you! May the Holy Spirit guide you! 😇 💗🕊 Cheers to a better year buddy! 💞🥂🍻
Yeah dude I’m 19 5”4 and honestly it’ll only really bother me few times a year(I’ve always been small) but when it gets to me it gets to me. There are no positives. Women are 90% eliminated. You really have to prove yourself more than anyone else. When we reach our goals we really reach them with a real disadvantage that nobody recognizes. You can’t single out a girl for being fat, but girls have their dating profile bios solely dedicated to making sure no short guys message them. It’s tough for sure no way around it. I refuse to be insecure about it though ONLY for one reason: I can’t control it, it is not my fault. No matter what it puts me through, it will never be a reason not to take myself serious, and at least it won’t kill me me that way
@@MuggsyW Man I'm sorry to hear that and you're absolutely right. I know for me, i will never get over this hump. I've even thought about surgery. If I had the funds, I would go for it. Enough is enough. This has been a lifelong nightmare.
@@CEEBrown I’m 5’2 but my license says I’m 5’0 so I feel your pain it really does suck. I’m 21 now an it didn’t hit me until I was about 18 years old after I graduated high school. I try not to have these negatives thoughts but I just can’t man it’s hard. I don’t like how I look it’s hard to explain what I feel but it’s a horrible feeling.
@@DA-db9bi I can relate so much. It's a different kind of pain. You feel out of place. You feel abnormal. You feel separate from the rest of society. Your self-esteem is shot. I feel you all the way.
If someone judges or exludes you because of height that person is shallow and it is good that they have been rooted out as a potential friend or mate, they demonstrate a deficit in character which is in-fact worse than a deficit in height. You want to surround yourself with down to earth people who know there's so much more to life and suffering and purpose etc. than physical attributes. And manliness is not all about physical attributes in fact it is less about that and more about character and responsibility.
CrypticHeaven well, the depressing part is that more often than not, they won’t tell you that that’s the reason. Especially when it comes to girls, they’ll reject you as the attraction isn’t there, and in most cases it’s subliminal, meaning the girl herself doesn’t realise she’s not attracted because of the lack of height.
I see a lot of negativity in these comments. I’m 5-4. Dad and mom were both short also. But confidence is key in life. Don’t walk short. Stand tall. Work out. Get a nice cut. You can’t change your height. But you can change everything else in life. So instead of being all depressed about your height insecurity, embrace it. Work with it. Cause at the end of the day, short wanna be tall, fat wanna be skinny, ugly wanna be pretty. But you won’t get anywhere in life worrying about it. God created everyone unique. That’s the great thing about life. But if you have the confidence to work through this, trust me you will be happy with life
Thank you so much. I’m a 33 year old man who 5’8.5 and going bald. Fortunately I’m in great physical shape, and am fairly attractive but my insecurities over my height and hair loss drive me to severe depression. A lot of people tell me I’m not short and that my height is perfectly average but every time o go out and see couples it seems like every guy is almost 6 feet with a full head of hair and it makes me feel so low about myself. Thanks again for this video. I’ve had many days where I thought “god why can’t I be 5’11 ?” Or even 5’10” it’s horrible comparing yourself to others
@@gj9157 i work in healthcare ....there are people with development disabilities, missing extremeties, serious mental illnesses....bring short isn't THAT bad compared to what I've seen people go through. Why judge a person on height, which they can't help? You are so shallow you. Ughhh. What if you were tall and lost your legs in a car accident? You think it's weird someone would love you for more than your looks or height? That's when you know someone really loves you. You gonna be single for life
5ft 5 .Let’s make being short the new tall. Power is in the mind. Guys from experience with girls. Don’t value yourself on the girl you have or don’t have. Get over it. Girls are not important. You are. Don’t bend over backwards for them and they will like you for it. Don’t let anyone get you down. Find your inner strength and make sure you go down fighting. Let’s not make it easy for them.
Agreed. Here most of the people have made this parameter of having a girl as self esteem and pride. Which is the actual root cause of the height insecurity. No matter what, u got to fix the root cause, rest is secondary.
The first thing I do when I wake up is look in the mirror then I’m reminded of my height and then I feel like shit for the rest of the day. Not to mention that I spend a way too long of a time in the mirror just telling myself I can get taller
I'm gonna turn 17 the next month and I haven't grown since 2 years ago and I'm still 5'3 sometimes I think it's over for me that I can't grow any taller
IF YOU'RE INSECURE ABOUT YOUR HEIGHT, READ THIS: Height being genetic is absolute BULLSHIT, My dad is just under 6'5, all my uncles average about 6'2 (188cm) and I'm 5'10.5 (179cm) at 17...This was an absolute shock because I thought I'd end up like my dad, I felt like I was ripped off, it was an absolute SLAP IN THE FACE. Later, I've come to realize that the reason I'm this short is due to my lifestyle at age 0-15, I was obese, was extremely lazy and unactive, had irregular sleep and was consumed by video games. At 16, I decided to go to the gym, lost 55 pounds and got absolutely swole, but my height insecurity remained...now, I'm pretty much made fun of by everyone for wearing insoles to increase my height by JUST A BIT! On top of that, my younger brothers are getting closer and closer to my height and my 14 y.o cuz reached 6 foot just recently...HEIGHT IS ENVIRONMENTAL, END OF DISCUSSION..
bro !! exactly, i realised this at 15 and started getting into running then pullups, i grew gradually 7 inches over 2 years from under my dad's shoulder to same height, hopefully i can grow some more now
I am a 20 year old female who is 5ft tall and wow I admire people who have learned to be confident and accept their height❤.But for me I feel like will never be able to be happy with my short height at all 😭😭💔I am even considering leg lengthening surgery cause everyday I get judged for being short and having all my younger sisters extremely taller than me does not make it easier😭😭😭
Girllll I would die to be your height!! I’m a girl who is 5’6/5’7 and I HATE IT!! I’m the tallest in my house except my dad, always people mentioning my height or making fun of how tall I am, and the worst part of it is sometimes I don’t feel like a female I feel so masculine I HATEEEE ITTT and let’s not talk about guys and how hard to find a guy taller than me in the regular. Sorry for rambling but trust me your height is sooo pretty you can rock those high heels and look cute not like a Godzilla you’re blessed trust me❤️
@@smrali9085 Omg wow thank you so much 😭😭😭😭your message really made me feel so much more better.I appreciate you for that thanks you really made my day.Maybe I should start being content with myself.Thanks a million ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I guess it depends where you live because I’m also 5ft0 (have been for the last 10 years) and there are so many benefits for being our height. For example almost every guy is already taller than us so We don’t have to fuss about men’s height, we can wear the longest heels and not look or feel weird, we have an excuse to talk to the cute guy at the grocery store ‘hi can you help me I can’t reach that shelf 🥺’, we get really cute pet names (I’ve been called a smurf, a teletubby, tiny, mini, pokemon, bite size) and I like all of them lol, it’s easy for men to scoop us up and generally, men just wanna protect and care for us cause our height makes us look 100% harmless and 0% intimidating. Btw I’m the eldest out of all my siblings and the shortest. People who don’t know us always think I’m the youngest. Not complaining about that either. Just look at the bright side girl. The sucky thing is we have to get our jeans tailored lol, and no maxi dresses cause we end up looking like we’re wearing bedsheets 😂 but I love my height.
I feel you deeply on this. I'm 62. Its mostly an american thing. Women in particular value tall men because of "perceived" success. Level up by lifting weights and getting big, advancing your education or increasing your wealth. When women hit the wall starting in their late 20's. I had a couple of real beauties that actually appreciated my kindness...For me some of my concerns changed when I went overseas to South Korea. They were all shorter than me. Ever notice that hispanics aren't very tall ... learn some spanish.
It's not an american thing. It's worldwide. People who are tall especially tall dudes are seen as more fit. Period. Also women never "hit the wall". You claiming women "hit any walls at whatever age" just proves how little interaction you managed to ever have with them ever which is no wonder. No sane woman would ever find a miosgynistic gross incel man attractive or even acceptable as she shouldn't either.
Wow guys I'm 6'1 and to be honest a lot of people in the comments section are far too bitter. I have my fair share of insecurities and I've learned that for some of this stuff the way to move past it is by not thinking of it. It isn't something that has an answer to solve your insecurity. Therefore the less you think of it the less of a problem it is. I know it's hard to hear this from somebody who doesn't experience this 'problem', and im not trying to say "just stop thinking" as if it's that easy. The whole point and goal is to try, and keep trying, and not say oh I'll never be able to put this aside and stop thinking about it, because if you say it then yea that's true. If you're improving at a snails pace, it is infinitely (literally infinitely) better than not improving at all. So my conclusion is rather than thinking about how to accept being short and the goods and bads of it, think about how to not think about it (Obviously this is an illogical oxymoron, showing that maybe the answer to this question of how to stop thinking about your insecurity is not a thought at all).
I'm only 5/7 and I've largely accepted being short, but I still hate it when I think about it. Somewhat ironically, I married Susie who's 5/10. We've known each other since kindergarten age and I've always accepted her being taller than me. When we were like 11 and 12, she was a full head taller than me. She was an early develop and I was a late. Susie always tells me things like, I don't have to be tall for her to love me and it's important to accept yourself the way you are.
im 5 7.5 and 5 8 with shoes which is not that bad but it demotivates when trying to build my dream body because it feels like its not worth it because ill stil be short
That's a really stupid comment man, you're not "that" short and you are tall enough to have a nice physique, 5'8 is only one inch under the average for a US male, just trying to help you out.
I'm 170 cm or 5'7 ish , I know there's a lot of you who'd happily take this height but in my case everyone around me is 6'1 or above which makes me feel like shit but I try not to think about it as much as possible as it really fucks with my self esteem and hopefully I get out of this vicious cycle 🙁
@@someshittomakeyouhappy but if you're from a major city like NYC, then you know there's plenty of 6ft men. Which makes me somewhat insecure about my height
To everyone with height insecurity including myself, you must be mentally strong first, until then, no one can hurt you, not even your friends or family.
I have a totally opposite problem by being a girl and 184cm tall. I've had very negative thoughts about myself and very low confidence all my life. But as you said, we have to focus on things we actually can change and own ourselves the way we are. Life can be beautiful no matter what height are you
Whah?? Gurl, maybe you're still a teen and your self confidence hasn't matured yet but take my word gurl, you will be SO THANKFUL in the future for your tall height. Toxic messed up misogynistic men out there will think twice before targeting you, fearing that you'd beat the heck out of them instantly. Plenty of jobs and sports also require being tall and being tall is one of the universal modeling factors of being elegant no matter the gender. Wished I had your height. Make sure you exercise and develop your muscles well so that they do a good job protecting the joints and bones.
I'm 5'1 and i'm always self counsious about my height espically since my younger brother is getting taller and probably will be taller than me , i get panic attacks because of that :/ .
@@Extrnal did you ever get that growth spurt man? I’m 18 and about 5’7.5. Started puberty at late 14, so I think my growth plates should be open still.
My girlfriend who is 13 (I am 15) is the same height as I am (5'7"). I don’t care about her height, and thankfully she doesn’t care and nobody has made comments on how y’all by age she is than me. Height doesn’t define your character by so much. I used to be very insecure about my average height, but even though I still worry about it mildly I do realize there is much more honestly, and although height might make you appear as a sign of dominance it doesn’t take away from the overall of many other qualities I believe. Edit: ….We broke up 2 months ago….
Height really matter, I agree that but It's one part of a person. Focus on where you can improve yourself / where you can change. If you are a tall person and don't have good humour , people will hate you. So everything is important. We can't control everything but something can be controlled by us - Just focus there where you can make change. Don't waste your energy by thinking about something what is really makes you hurt. Write down what you have and improve them - You may have thousands of other skills instead height.
This year for Christmas I went skating with my friends in Montreal. A teacher approached me with a group of 7 year old and then she was making sure she didn't forgot any kids and she turned me to see my face. I'm 15 and my friends where laughing all the time

You mention “shortcomings and mistakes” but how is it either of those things if being short or tall is out of your control?? Its just genetics thats it
Nothing will ever change. There will always be short people. In the future of this country, we can ensure a lower threshold so nobody goes below 5'7 I imagine, but there will definitely always be short people. Us short people need to work a little harder, but it's definitely impossible. We got this, man!
Needed this video, I’m 20 years old 172cm which I believe is 5’7 and I hate being the short guy a big insecurity of mine but I’m cool with it now not that fussed.
Im 19 years old I havent grown more than a inch since I was 12. I now stand a mere 5'5. My torso is about averageish for a man but my legs are very short. Hell I even wish my arms were a little longer. I would love to just be in average american mans height. About 5'9 I would be happy. It seems like no matter how much I stretch, now matter how much I pray, No matter how much sleep I get and as soon as I wake up I measure myself to see if I grown over night. At my very best on a good day I cant get any taller than 5'5 and a half at my very max. Alot of girls I see when I go out in public are taller than me. However theres not really anything I can do about it. Thanks so much for this video. It really made me feel something and some hope. Thanks. :)
@@AlexeyAnoshko I mainly hit puberty at 10 years old. My voice got a lot deeper I was getting pimples I went from 4'10 and like 80 pounds at 10 and by 12 I was like 5'3 half or 5'4 and gained a ass ton of weight from there I pretty much stayed around that height at before I hit 15 I reached 5'5 and and now I'm pretty much that same height to this day. If I sleep very long I might temporarily be 5'5.5 just because of laying down for so long due to gravity and entering human growth hormone naturally when I sleep a lot but 3 hours later I'm back to looking barely 5'5 by the end of the day I don't even want to measure myself lol because I feel like I might even be slightly under 5'5! Dang it! But yeah.. 😞 I honestly don't understand because my mom was 5'4 when she was younger and my dad was half in inch shy of 6 foot but now is 5'11 both of my parents where average height and no man on my mom's side of the family is shorter than 5'8 and all the males on my dad's side are mostly 6 foot and over that! Soo I'm like sooo confused what I did wrong? Or I have just been cursed or something?😭💁
the thing is us kids who did stuff like that we're soft and emotional we didn't know how to handle our passion and it leads to fights and well being really cocky out of frustration and that's the honest truth...hell i feel sad about hunting birds nests as a kid nevermind being tough with other people but you must understand it's POWERFUL EMOTIONS not a nasty person until you have developed from being a child because we're all dumb for abit and we GRADUALLY learn. some how to control themselves, others learn aaaah hell knows i just know i've taken a crap tonne of work....and still learning, why i'm here right now sir. grammar>(self taught)
@@kishorekumardas8229 yes. And its not a bigdeal here if you're small because there's a lot of male here in the Philippines that are small. Poverty is a more problem than a height.
I’m 5’8 I’ve had some insecurities about my height but I realize it could’ve been a whole lot worst I could’ve been 5’0 and in the end height doesn’t matter. It’s how like how you said. It’s how you carry yourself in the real world.
Broooo i feel like a huge poosy i m like 5ft 9 and a half and I was really sad thinking that i am short, i have a friend who is 6 ft and that really bringed me down thanks for the vid man.
Yeah i gotta over it, pretty fast also i gained a cm now i am 1.77 so I am ok with that still 1.80 whould be nice but there are people who have it much worse, good luck to them short kings and tall kings)
lol my sis is 5'4 and i am 5'0. Plus she got fair skin n everything. So everyone tells me dude ur sister is beautiful n so much taller thn u what happnd to uh. And not only friends but everyone tells me tht. My family, relatives, friends. I m sick of it. I hate goin to family dramas. How to overcome it when i am daily being reminded m short and dark.
Im 5ft, male and 13 (on the younger side of my year, with my birthday in july) and it really pisses me off when people talk about my height i feel disadvantaged and sometimes imagine what i would be like if i was taller but the problem with being short and insecure about it is... you can't hide it! everybody can see it whereas if you were insecure about your teeth you could at least hide that, but with being short it's impossible. Countless times i have put things in my shoes to look taller (it doesn't work). Recently my class compared myself to who they thought was the shortest but then realised i was (however i knew this and was trying to avoid the topic). Another thing that pisses me off is because i have an afro they think my hairline is where the top of my head and say that my hair adds like 5 inches (when it's just 1) , in fact they attempted to measure it and it really annoyed me i almost felt like leaving the class but i just laughed through the pain... Finally, they also compare me to my brother who is 2 years younger than me but only like a few cm shorter than me and they tell me HE'S TALLER anyway i just felt like saying this. The weird part is my parents aren't that short (my mum is 5'8 and my dad is 5'11 almost 6 foot) so im have a bit of hope but its not looking so good.
Since you’re 13 and so young look up how to grow taller as a 13 year old on google, and you can literally make yourself taller by eating right, sleeping right ect
@@danielcowan3138 :True i'm hoping that i will have a growth spurt since i am one of the youngest in my class it may just not have arrived yet. I have looked at stretching, sleeping longer and many other things. Thanks for the reply
Hi dear reading your story touched so much cause I can relate to everything you're saying.Yes people would always make jokes about my height but all you can do is laugh through the pain😭😭💔cause if you show them it bothers you they will know it your insecurity and always use it to hurt you more.And to tell you the truth your younger brother will get taller then you,younger siblings are always bigger like for me I am a 20 year old female and 5ft and all my younger sisters are extremely taller then me😭so there's no hope for me but you still have hope❤Just do the regular swimming,stretching etc and eat high in protein foods and get enough rest I am sure it will help.
im a bit different here but im 6'7. Id wished id be shorter because everyone else is always pointing it out and i just want to be like the rest. after this video, fuck it dude. im a GIANT. its who i am.
I'm 5' 8" and I feel somehow it's a taboo to be the short one. How hard you try, I am telling from personal experience, however hard you try some instance some thing do remind you that you don't fit in the society. And the worst feeling is when you can't defend yourself and feel helpless for something you cannot do nothing.
My goal since I was young was to work in construction but everyone looks for tall and muscular guys for that type of work, it's definitely hard to accept it and for me I feel like its more like giving up Honestly I think I would even go for limb lengthening surgery to boost my height as its not only my career like its hard sometimes going out in public without shoe lifts at least because it feels like you are inferior to everyone else. Idk just my thoughts
I’m the same I get depressed about it, I’m 5’6 and don’t get taken seriously at all. I try to laugh about it but inside I’m dying. It’s not even our fault, but society puts us down even though with fat people it is their fault (not all the time but mostly) and if we were to say anything against that it would be considered terrible Such a double standard
I think I’m around 5’10.5” and I still feel pretty insecure about it. But one thing that is helping me get over it a bit is thinking about the benefits that come from the height I am at right now at 22 years old, like how shorter people live longer than taller people and shorter people may actually be stronger due to physics and not muscles, although I could be wrong about the latter. Also, another thing that helps me ignore my insecurity is to just move on with my life and get into a good workout routine. Hope this is good advice to all other RUclipsrs!
To all the short folks - whatever you feel is completely natural and logical. I am a short guy too. The inferiority complex is crushing for your esteem. The fact that you have to live with this height for another 50 years is deeply disturbing. No matter how much people try to distract you or comfort you with encouraging words, you will forever know that you are not biologically good enough. I also won't have it any other way, I constantly want to remember that I am a short guy and that it would have been really helpful to have been born in the ideal height range. I also think it would be wrong for me to give birth to any children. I don't want to make them go through what I will go through my entire life. It is funny though how life is, everyone would essentially have to be almost identical to each other if nobody is to feel inferior in some way, and we know that that is simply not possible. That is not how nature works. Life is paradoxical. Life is absurd. And yet countless beings are born against their will to face this absurdity, and then they die. It will never make sense to me.
Same here, I'm 5'10 and at least in my case I'm taller than average (here in canada it is 5'9) so I don't have much to complain about but yeah I definetly know what you mean. Height on paper seems very different than actual measured height (at least to me). 6'1 dudes only got 2 and 3 inches extra. That's like two joints on my finger. Lets keep our heads up high, 5'10 and 11 are pretty decent too. :)
5’7 guy, never feel insecure. It’s not you it’s them. Women who don’t want to date guys below 5’8 it’s them that’s insecure as they don’t feel protected/confident.(until they have a kid by some jerk, then they realize you’re perfect). Most women who don’t have kids also don’t want to have the shortest guy among their friends. Once again it’s them being insecure. Tall guys don’t want their ego’s hurt if they found out it’s not really their confidence, swag, or pickup lines that got them their girl(s), it’s their height that got them the job interview as soon as they walked through the door whereas us we’re automatically written off. Dont let this bother you one bit. Save your money, work out(you don’t have to become jacked like the Rock). You’ll find out you have less stress than the other guys who like to get all the women. Eventually you’ll start getting to the interviews when women hit age 32. It’s worth the wait.
I'm 6 foot 3 but even I struggle with height insecurity. Occasionally, I'll see a guy 6 foot 5 or up and, especially if he is good looking, my heart will sink. I don't know why but I suspect it's because I feel as though being tall is 'my thing'. It's what everyone remarks on and when I see someone else who is taller than me its a reminder that I'm not that special at all. I don't know why I'm sharing but thought you might like to know that insecurities exist for all people and that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence.
Don’t be insecure bud. At the end of the day no matter what height you are you should be happy with yourself. People always say oh he’s above 6 ft, his life must be better. That’s completely false. No matter what you do in life someone will always be taller. Like you said there was a guy who was taller than you. Should you feel inferior? Hell no! Does having less height make you a beta male? HELL NO! No matter if your short or tall, what you should do is be the best version of your self! Always strive to improve who you are and stop trying to change things can’t be changed. Be your own unique self and most importantly LOVE YOURSELF!!!
@@Vortex_ICEcold some ppl cant live a good life being short though many kids get bullied cause of there height in schools or even at jobs. Still prefer taller and height can be changed if you got the money for expensive surgery at. The end of the day happiness matters if a person needs to be taller well let them.
Brosse just think of it like this. If you are too short(5’8 or below) your life might suck badly. If you are too tall(7f or above) you will be lonely and wish you were just normal like everyone else. If you are average or above(5’8-7f), you will feel like it’s not enough. I used to live in Vietnam and I wish I was normal size until I came to US, I always regret about not trying to get even taller and always compare myself to other dudes. No one is truly happy until you can accept yourself.
@@Tunebox29294 every person is different for some there height didnt get in the way of being a successful person in life. However for some they have been in bad situations cause of there height. Some things in life we just can't get unless you have the money for it. I been in a situation at my old job where ppl would make fun of me for being shorty and skinny even. Ppl making fun of my mustache it hurts man and calling me different names and when I think about it I get depression and anxiety.
I feel super insecure about my height I'm 5'1 and can't help it but wish I could be taller. Sometimes I don't feel attractive or good enough soley because of it.i just feel like a small poor girl crying wishing I could be more of a women. It's pathetic I now but it's unfortunately how I feel😔
But like being short is super cute for girls ive never heard any guy complaining about it , im 5'7 myself and my gf is 5'1 believe me its just in ur head don't feel bad :)
to everyone who tells it doesnt matter, it matters okay as a short man everyone will see u as inferior and ur expected to be submissive to everything or everyone it will always be a disadvantage in life so I promised myself if I dont grow util 18 I will just kill myself I will not live with this stupid crippling anxiety I just cant

@@gabrielherjas212 you just need to learn to let o of this insecurity because that is all it is, an insecurity. being short is not important and worthwhile people will not care about it, drop people who do care about these things because they are shallow and not positive influences on your life, there is light at the end of the tunnel
6’6” would be a nightmare. I’m not attractive, I’m 5’10” but it’s not good enough apparently, people telling me I’m short. People telling me (you’re the awkward lanky kid, you should be so much taller) and I’m like yeah I wish I was taller, thing would look so much more fluent. My wingspan is 6’2” imagine how weird that looks, I have huge arms because of basketball when I was younger. I was at the “tall”/ average guy in the class until high school. I didn’t sleep a lot during my childhood, so I didn’t grow as much as I could. Who knows, I could be 6’0” by now. Hoping the next 4 years I grow at least until 5’11”
Saying to a short person "You should be taller" is on the same level as saying to a black person "You should be white". However if someone says that second line, he will be punshed in the face immediately, but if someone says the first line, then its more accepted?! Society logic 🤷
Uk it's not short height that's hurts... It's the helplessness, to not be able to change it. Especially for guys. Women will wear 6" high heels and flex it. Men are helpless. Even men want that 6" to give them 6kg of confidence but the society won't let them. That's what's sad. The only way left for us is to SOMEHOW find something ELSE that can fill that hole back with confidence and self acceptance.
I wonder why everyone cares so much about height, if we make it to a really old age, we all end up looking like shit anyways. Just look at all the gorgeous movie stars that have aged, 99 percent of them look ....yikish

I had a girl who I was with a year ago (before covid). She was taller than me. I'm 5'4'' and she's 5'7'. We slept together the first time we dated and I even met her sister (also taller than me). She was sweet with me when we're alone but when her sister is around, she always make fun of my height, calling me a kid. Being my love interest, I would expect her to defend me but instead she initiates bullying me. Her sister was actually kind enough not to join her (maybe out of courtesy). So I stopped dating her before our relationship got more serious. Don't let people humiliate you. Walk away when they disrespect you.

I hate it when people are like "i HATE being tall." Like there are so many people out there that want to be tall and the people that actually are complain about it
Why is it more okay for you to complain about being short than someone who is tall. Both are insecurities that those individual people have and insecurities are often validated by your own mind, and you dwell in them, and all the things you hate about them, and wish you weren't this or that. Whether tall or short, you have to find it in yourself to figure out how to get through that insecurity so you can love that part of you too because height is not going to change once you're an adult.
Imagine being 6’10, dude people are staring at you and you are attracting unwanted attention everywhere you go. I don’t meant to say that overly tall is better than being short but I can understand where the insecurity of both being tall and short comes from.
but this is not ok to say, its the same vise versa and I am 13 and 5"7 and still haven't had my period and don't try and tell me its ok because you have to be happy in your body and if you're going to sit here and tell me that being tall is good then don't bother you may want to be tall but I don't and people are here to overcome an insecurity and re search not be hated on so don't. do you want to feel insecure every time there is a school event?

I'm 5ft 3 and 14 but I still feel insecure because all my classmates are 5ft 6 and above and they pick on me.
Don’t worry about them man. You’ll keep growing!
@A Y racist
Im 5'3 too i feel the same for u all my friend who are 13 are already 5'7-5'8...
Workout, eat a lott and just workout and play a sport. I’m telling you, you will regret
Workout, eat nutritional foods, and sleep. I wish I could go back and do this stuff, but do listen to me
I get waves of depression when I step outside the house at 5’6. When a majority of the men in public places are way taller. I start to reflect and it sucks because it just limits me on things like women for instances.
5'6 its over, rope
@@paugasolina5048act your age big man height dont matter brain washed you are
5,6 ain’t awful what’s are you on about
Idk how tall I am. Maybe 5'6. Maybe 5'7. When I go to get a physical, I tell the nurse to not even tell me my height. I've been dealing with my height insecurity since a kid! Ever since grade school, I was made fun of and unfortunately, I still here the same jokes til this day. Today at work, a kid came over to me and asked "Why are you so short?" It broke me. It made me have suicidal thoughts. This is something that I'll never be able to get away from. I hate my height with all of my heart. All it has done is brought me severe ridicule and it makes me look weird when I take pictures with others or when I'm standing in a group of friends and family members. My oldest nephew is taller than me and I'm scared to post pics of him and I because I know what the general public will say about the uncle who's smaller than his nephew. I'm afraid to date a girl who is even close to my height because with heels on, she's almost towering over me. I will never accept my height. Being (I even hate using the word) short is complete Hell and if I wasn't such a punk, I would've...well you know. My heart is so broken. My spirit is immensely tired. I have even looked into surgery to eliminate this life-long issue. I will never understand why God made me this way.
Am sorry you have to feel that way. But rest assured there are more important things out there in life and many experiences out in store. So go have your adventure.
Have a great day!
God Bless! Stay strong, stay safe and take care of yourselves! Wishing everyone the best! Jesus loves you! May the Holy Spirit guide you! 😇 💗🕊
Cheers to a better year buddy! 💞🥂🍻
Yeah dude I’m 19 5”4 and honestly it’ll only really bother me few times a year(I’ve always been small) but when it gets to me it gets to me. There are no positives. Women are 90% eliminated. You really have to prove yourself more than anyone else. When we reach our goals we really reach them with a real disadvantage that nobody recognizes. You can’t single out a girl for being fat, but girls have their dating profile bios solely dedicated to making sure no short guys message them. It’s tough for sure no way around it. I refuse to be insecure about it though ONLY for one reason: I can’t control it, it is not my fault. No matter what it puts me through, it will never be a reason not to take myself serious, and at least it won’t kill me me that way
@@MuggsyW Man I'm sorry to hear that and you're absolutely right. I know for me, i will never get over this hump. I've even thought about surgery. If I had the funds, I would go for it. Enough is enough. This has been a lifelong nightmare.
@@CEEBrown I’m 5’2 but my license says I’m 5’0 so I feel your pain it really does suck. I’m 21 now an it didn’t hit me until I was about 18 years old after I graduated high school. I try not to have these negatives thoughts but I just can’t man it’s hard. I don’t like how I look it’s hard to explain what I feel but it’s a horrible feeling.
@@DA-db9bi I can relate so much. It's a different kind of pain. You feel out of place. You feel abnormal. You feel separate from the rest of society. Your self-esteem is shot. I feel you all the way.
If someone judges or exludes you because of height that person is shallow and it is good that they have been rooted out as a potential friend or mate, they demonstrate a deficit in character which is in-fact worse than a deficit in height. You want to surround yourself with down to earth people who know there's so much more to life and suffering and purpose etc. than physical attributes. And manliness is not all about physical attributes in fact it is less about that and more about character and responsibility.
CrypticHeaven well, the depressing part is that more often than not, they won’t tell you that that’s the reason. Especially when it comes to girls, they’ll reject you as the attraction isn’t there, and in most cases it’s subliminal, meaning the girl herself doesn’t realise she’s not attracted because of the lack of height.
I see a lot of negativity in these comments. I’m 5-4. Dad and mom were both short also. But confidence is key in life. Don’t walk short. Stand tall. Work out. Get a nice cut. You can’t change your height. But you can change everything else in life. So instead of being all depressed about your height insecurity, embrace it. Work with it. Cause at the end of the day, short wanna be tall, fat wanna be skinny, ugly wanna be pretty. But you won’t get anywhere in life worrying about it. God created everyone unique. That’s the great thing about life. But if you have the confidence to work through this, trust me you will be happy with life
Thank you so much. I’m a 33 year old man who 5’8.5 and going bald. Fortunately I’m in great physical shape, and am fairly attractive but my insecurities over my height and hair loss drive me to severe depression. A lot of people tell me I’m not short and that my height is perfectly average but every time o go out and see couples it seems like every guy is almost 6 feet with a full head of hair and it makes me feel so low about myself. Thanks again for this video. I’ve had many days where I thought “god why can’t I be 5’11 ?” Or even 5’10” it’s horrible comparing yourself to others

5ft 5 .Let’s make being short the new tall.
Power is in the mind. Guys from experience with girls.
Don’t value yourself on the girl you have or don’t have. Get over it. Girls are not important. You are. Don’t bend over backwards for them and they will like you for it. Don’t let anyone get you down. Find your inner strength and make sure you go down fighting. Let’s not make it easy for them.
Agreed. Here most of the people have made this parameter of having a girl as self esteem and pride. Which is the actual root cause of the height insecurity. No matter what, u got to fix the root cause, rest is secondary.
🙄
The first thing I do when I wake up is look in the mirror then I’m reminded of my height and then I feel like shit for the rest of the day. Not to mention that I spend a way too long of a time in the mirror just telling myself I can get taller
I'm gonna turn 17 the next month and I haven't grown since 2 years ago and I'm still 5'3 sometimes I think it's over for me that I can't grow any taller
How are you doing now?
@@ahmedalhilfi4425how tall are you now?
IF YOU'RE INSECURE ABOUT YOUR HEIGHT, READ THIS:
Height being genetic is absolute BULLSHIT, My dad is just under 6'5, all my uncles average about 6'2 (188cm) and I'm 5'10.5 (179cm) at 17...This was an absolute shock because I thought I'd end up like my dad, I felt like I was ripped off, it was an absolute SLAP IN THE FACE.
Later, I've come to realize that the reason I'm this short is due to my lifestyle at age 0-15, I was obese, was extremely lazy and unactive, had irregular sleep and was consumed by video games.
At 16, I decided to go to the gym, lost 55 pounds and got absolutely swole, but my height insecurity remained...now, I'm pretty much made fun of by everyone for wearing insoles to increase my height by JUST A BIT! On top of that, my younger brothers are getting closer and closer to my height and my 14 y.o cuz reached 6 foot just recently...HEIGHT IS ENVIRONMENTAL, END OF DISCUSSION..
bro !! exactly, i realised this at 15 and started getting into running then pullups, i grew gradually 7 inches over 2 years from under my dad's shoulder to same height, hopefully i can grow some more now
I'm 5foot8 (172cm) I know I'm not that short but this really helped
You are average
Im 5’7
I’m 5’6 1/2 sadly
I am a 20 year old female who is 5ft tall and wow I admire people who have learned to be confident and accept their height❤.But for me I feel like will never be able to be happy with my short height at all 😭😭💔I am even considering leg lengthening surgery cause everyday I get judged for being short and having all my younger sisters extremely taller than me does not make it easier😭😭😭

Same here especially if a person puts in the hard work of having good nutrition many years and no change.
Girllll I would die to be your height!! I’m a girl who is 5’6/5’7 and I HATE IT!! I’m the tallest in my house except my dad, always people mentioning my height or making fun of how tall I am, and the worst part of it is sometimes I don’t feel like a female I feel so masculine I HATEEEE ITTT and let’s not talk about guys and how hard to find a guy taller than me in the regular. Sorry for rambling but trust me your height is sooo pretty you can rock those high heels and look cute not like a Godzilla you’re blessed trust me❤️
@@smrali9085 Omg wow thank you so much 😭😭😭😭your message really made me feel so much more better.I appreciate you for that thanks you really made my day.Maybe I should start being content with myself.Thanks a million ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I guess it depends where you live because I’m also 5ft0 (have been for the last 10 years) and there are so many benefits for being our height. For example almost every guy is already taller than us so We don’t have to fuss about men’s height, we can wear the longest heels and not look or feel weird, we have an excuse to talk to the cute guy at the grocery store ‘hi can you help me I can’t reach that shelf 🥺’, we get really cute pet names (I’ve been called a smurf, a teletubby, tiny, mini, pokemon, bite size) and I like all of them lol, it’s easy for men to scoop us up and generally, men just wanna protect and care for us cause our height makes us look 100% harmless and 0% intimidating.
Btw I’m the eldest out of all my siblings and the shortest. People who don’t know us always think I’m the youngest. Not complaining about that either. Just look at the bright side girl. The sucky thing is we have to get our jeans tailored lol, and no maxi dresses cause we end up looking like we’re wearing bedsheets 😂 but I love my height.
I feel you deeply on this. I'm 62. Its mostly an american thing. Women in particular value tall men because of "perceived" success. Level up by lifting weights and getting big, advancing your education or increasing your wealth. When women hit the wall starting in their late 20's. I had a couple of real beauties that actually appreciated my kindness...For me some of my concerns changed when I went overseas to South Korea. They were all shorter than me. Ever notice that hispanics aren't very tall ... learn some spanish.
It's not an american thing. It's worldwide. People who are tall especially tall dudes are seen as more fit. Period. Also women never "hit the wall". You claiming women "hit any walls at whatever age" just proves how little interaction you managed to ever have with them ever which is no wonder. No sane woman would ever find a miosgynistic gross incel man attractive or even acceptable as she shouldn't either.
Wow guys
I'm 6'1 and to be honest a lot of people in the comments section are far too bitter. I have my fair share of insecurities and I've learned that for some of this stuff the way to move past it is by not thinking of it. It isn't something that has an answer to solve your insecurity. Therefore the less you think of it the less of a problem it is.
I know it's hard to hear this from somebody who doesn't experience this 'problem', and im not trying to say "just stop thinking" as if it's that easy. The whole point and goal is to try, and keep trying, and not say oh I'll never be able to put this aside and stop thinking about it, because if you say it then yea that's true. If you're improving at a snails pace, it is infinitely (literally infinitely) better than not improving at all.
So my conclusion is rather than thinking about how to accept being short and the goods and bads of it, think about how to not think about it (Obviously this is an illogical oxymoron, showing that maybe the answer to this question of how to stop thinking about your insecurity is not a thought at all).
I'm only 5/7 and I've largely accepted being short, but I still hate it when I think about it. Somewhat ironically, I married Susie who's 5/10. We've known each other since kindergarten age and I've always accepted her being taller than me. When we were like 11 and 12, she was a full head taller than me. She was an early develop and I was a late. Susie always tells me things like, I don't have to be tall for her to love me and it's important to accept yourself the way you are.

To everyone with height insecurity including myself, you must be mentally strong first, until then, no one can hurt you, not even your friends or family.
I have a totally opposite problem by being a girl and 184cm tall. I've had very negative thoughts about myself and very low confidence all my life. But as you said, we have to focus on things we actually can change and own ourselves the way we are. Life can be beautiful no matter what height are you
Whah?? Gurl, maybe you're still a teen and your self confidence hasn't matured yet but take my word gurl, you will be SO THANKFUL in the future for your tall height. Toxic messed up misogynistic men out there will think twice before targeting you, fearing that you'd beat the heck out of them instantly. Plenty of jobs and sports also require being tall and being tall is one of the universal modeling factors of being elegant no matter the gender. Wished I had your height. Make sure you exercise and develop your muscles well so that they do a good job protecting the joints and bones.

My girlfriend who is 13 (I am 15) is the same height as I am (5'7"). I don’t care about her height, and thankfully she doesn’t care and nobody has made comments on how y’all by age she is than me. Height doesn’t define your character by so much. I used to be very insecure about my average height, but even though I still worry about it mildly I do realize there is much more honestly, and although height might make you appear as a sign of dominance it doesn’t take away from the overall of many other qualities I believe.
Edit: ….We broke up 2 months ago….
Height really matter, I agree that but It's one part of a person. Focus on where you can improve yourself / where you can change.
If you are a tall person and don't have good humour , people will hate you. So everything is important.
We can't control everything but something can be controlled by us - Just focus there where you can make change. Don't waste your energy by thinking about something what is really makes you hurt. Write down what you have and improve them - You may have thousands of other skills instead height.

Im 5ft, male and 13 (on the younger side of my year, with my birthday in july) and it really pisses me off when people talk about my height i feel disadvantaged and sometimes imagine what i would be like if i was taller but the problem with being short and insecure about it is... you can't hide it! everybody can see it whereas if you were insecure about your teeth you could at least hide that, but with being short it's impossible. Countless times i have put things in my shoes to look taller (it doesn't work). Recently my class compared myself to who they thought was the shortest but then realised i was (however i knew this and was trying to avoid the topic). Another thing that pisses me off is because i have an afro they think my hairline is where the top of my head and say that my hair adds like 5 inches (when it's just 1) , in fact they attempted to measure it and it really annoyed me i almost felt like leaving the class but i just laughed through the pain... Finally, they also compare me to my brother who is 2 years younger than me but only like a few cm shorter than me and they tell me HE'S TALLER anyway i just felt like saying this. The weird part is my parents aren't that short (my mum is 5'8 and my dad is 5'11 almost 6 foot) so im have a bit of hope but its not looking so good.

Hi dear reading your story touched so much cause I can relate to everything you're saying.Yes people would always make jokes about my height but all you can do is laugh through the pain😭😭💔cause if you show them it bothers you they will know it your insecurity and always use it to hurt you more.And to tell you the truth your younger brother will get taller then you,younger siblings are always bigger like for me I am a 20 year old female and 5ft and all my younger sisters are extremely taller then me😭so there's no hope for me but you still have hope❤Just do the regular swimming,stretching etc and eat high in protein foods and get enough rest I am sure it will help.
My uncle literally told me i grew today and i fell into depression mode and just said that it's the shoes 😭
you are an inspiration now...
im a bit different here but im 6'7. Id wished id be shorter because everyone else is always pointing it out and i just want to be like the rest. after this video, fuck it dude. im a GIANT. its who i am.
I'm 5' 8" and I feel somehow it's a taboo to be the short one.
How hard you try, I am telling from personal experience, however hard you try some instance some thing do remind you that you don't fit in the society.
And the worst feeling is when you can't defend yourself and feel helpless for something you cannot do nothing.
At 5.8 can't defend yourself? There are 5.7 dudes that can beat the living hell out of most men
My goal since I was young was to work in construction but everyone looks for tall and muscular guys for that type of work, it's definitely hard to accept it and for me I feel like its more like giving up
Honestly I think I would even go for limb lengthening surgery to boost my height as its not only my career like its hard sometimes going out in public without shoe lifts at least because it feels like you are inferior to everyone else. Idk just my thoughts
Construction looks fun but I'm small aswell and they will never hire me, same with police, army and security guard jobs
The topic is too good for a short video
Thank you 💕 so much hun❤❤this really helped me alright, and i believe one day God will bless me with a husband who will love me just as i am❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
I’m the same I get depressed about it, I’m 5’6 and don’t get taken seriously at all. I try to laugh about it but inside I’m dying. It’s not even our fault, but society puts us down even though with fat people it is their fault (not all the time but mostly) and if we were to say anything against that it would be considered terrible
Such a double standard
I think I’m around 5’10.5” and I still feel pretty insecure about it. But one thing that is helping me get over it a bit is thinking about the benefits that come from the height I am at right now at 22 years old, like how shorter people live longer than taller people and shorter people may actually be stronger due to physics and not muscles, although I could be wrong about the latter. Also, another thing that helps me ignore my insecurity is to just move on with my life and get into a good workout routine. Hope this is good advice to all other RUclipsrs!
Bro I’m 5’10.5 too but we can round up to 5’11 and that!s above average
@@rafxspectic4366 Yeah that’s a good thing
Ppl can die at any age what matters is being happy in life even if it means more height for some ppl.

I'm 7'8 but girls don't like me,
Hi my name is marco and i'm 5 foot 3 and i'm 16 years old i've been always the short guy since middle school
I'm only 5'2, I've always been laughed because of my height and I hate it
thank you for making this video :)
To all the short folks - whatever you feel is completely natural and logical. I am a short guy too. The inferiority complex is crushing for your esteem. The fact that you have to live with this height for another 50 years is deeply disturbing. No matter how much people try to distract you or comfort you with encouraging words, you will forever know that you are not biologically good enough. I also won't have it any other way, I constantly want to remember that I am a short guy and that it would have been really helpful to have been born in the ideal height range. I also think it would be wrong for me to give birth to any children. I don't want to make them go through what I will go through my entire life. It is funny though how life is, everyone would essentially have to be almost identical to each other if nobody is to feel inferior in some way, and we know that that is simply not possible. That is not how nature works. Life is paradoxical. Life is absurd. And yet countless beings are born against their will to face this absurdity, and then they die. It will never make sense to me.
Great video!
How tall are you?
5'4"...
im not even insecure and youtube recommend this, youtube is trolling im at my early 16 168/169
5'11 sometimes i dont feel tall around other men. lots of guys are 6ft1 and taller sucks
Same here, I'm 5'10 and at least in my case I'm taller than average (here in canada it is 5'9) so I don't have much to complain about but yeah I definetly know what you mean. Height on paper seems very different than actual measured height (at least to me). 6'1 dudes only got 2 and 3 inches extra. That's like two joints on my finger. Lets keep our heads up high, 5'10 and 11 are pretty decent too. :)
5 foot 11 and complaining your an ungrateful brate.
@@goldentirent8456 180 cm is average as fuck bro
Sean Winter imagine being below average
Hey bro if you had a decent face it wouldn't matter.
Well said my friend.
5’7 guy, never feel insecure. It’s not you it’s them.
Women who don’t want to date guys below 5’8 it’s them that’s insecure as they don’t feel protected/confident.(until they have a kid by some jerk, then they realize you’re perfect). Most women who don’t have kids also don’t want to have the shortest guy among their friends. Once again it’s them being insecure.
Tall guys don’t want their ego’s hurt if they found out it’s not really their confidence, swag, or pickup lines that got them their girl(s), it’s their height that got them the job interview as soon as they walked through the door whereas us we’re automatically written off.
Dont let this bother you one bit. Save your money, work out(you don’t have to become jacked like the Rock). You’ll find out you have less stress than the other guys who like to get all the women. Eventually you’ll start getting to the interviews when women hit age 32. It’s worth the wait.
I'm 6 foot 3 but even I struggle with height insecurity. Occasionally, I'll see a guy 6 foot 5 or up and, especially if he is good looking, my heart will sink. I don't know why but I suspect it's because I feel as though being tall is 'my thing'. It's what everyone remarks on and when I see someone else who is taller than me its a reminder that I'm not that special at all. I don't know why I'm sharing but thought you might like to know that insecurities exist for all people and that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence.
Don’t be insecure bud. At the end of the day no matter what height you are you should be happy with yourself. People always say oh he’s above 6 ft, his life must be better. That’s completely false. No matter what you do in life someone will always be taller. Like you said there was a guy who was taller than you. Should you feel inferior? Hell no! Does having less height make you a beta male? HELL NO! No matter if your short or tall, what you should do is be the best version of your self! Always strive to improve who you are and stop trying to change things can’t be changed. Be your own unique self and most importantly LOVE YOURSELF!!!
Such good advice. Good self esteem comes from within. Knowing that you are pushing and developing yourself.
@@Vortex_ICEcold some ppl cant live a good life being short though many kids get bullied cause of there height in schools or even at jobs. Still prefer taller and height can be changed if you got the money for expensive surgery at. The end of the day happiness matters if a person needs to be taller well let them.
Brosse just think of it like this. If you are too short(5’8 or below) your life might suck badly. If you are too tall(7f or above) you will be lonely and wish you were just normal like everyone else. If you are average or above(5’8-7f), you will feel like it’s not enough. I used to live in Vietnam and I wish I was normal size until I came to US, I always regret about not trying to get even taller and always compare myself to other dudes. No one is truly happy until you can accept yourself.
@@Tunebox29294 every person is different for some there height didnt get in the way of being a successful person in life. However for some they have been in bad situations cause of there height. Some things in life we just can't get unless you have the money for it. I been in a situation at my old job where ppl would make fun of me for being shorty and skinny even. Ppl making fun of my mustache it hurts man and calling me different names and when I think about it I get depression and anxiety.
I feel super insecure about my height I'm 5'1 and can't help it but wish I could be taller. Sometimes I don't feel attractive or good enough soley because of it.i just feel like a small poor girl crying wishing I could be more of a women.
It's pathetic I now but it's unfortunately how I feel😔
But like being short is super cute for girls ive never heard any guy complaining about it , im 5'7 myself and my gf is 5'1 believe me its just in ur head don't feel bad :)
@@omarfareed3551 thank you so much yea I've been learning to embrace ir and realized that:) it's good to let go of some insecurities❤
to everyone who tells it doesnt matter, it matters okay as a short man everyone will see u as inferior and ur expected to be submissive to everything or everyone it will always be a disadvantage in life so I promised myself if I dont grow util 18 I will just kill myself I will not live with this stupid crippling anxiety I just cant
Until you are over 25 you still have chance to boost your growth but it takes action and persistence.
Nutrition, sports and good sleep are your best bet.
@@anassyria5176 god I'll be doomed I have bullimia and I tend to overeat sometimes or not eat at all I cant control it but I do sports sometimes badminton and volleyball and I exercise every morning and stretch
@@gabrielherjas212 you just need to learn to let o of this insecurity because that is all it is, an insecurity. being short is not important and worthwhile people will not care about it, drop people who do care about these things because they are shallow and not positive influences on your life, there is light at the end of the tunnel
6’6” would be a nightmare. I’m not attractive, I’m 5’10” but it’s not good enough apparently, people telling me I’m short. People telling me (you’re the awkward lanky kid, you should be so much taller) and I’m like yeah I wish I was taller, thing would look so much more fluent. My wingspan is 6’2” imagine how weird that looks, I have huge arms because of basketball when I was younger. I was at the “tall”/ average guy in the class until high school. I didn’t sleep a lot during my childhood, so I didn’t grow as much as I could. Who knows, I could be 6’0” by now. Hoping the next 4 years I grow at least until 5’11”
How old r u?
@@ezraelreynolds3442 I was 18 when I wrote this
Saying to a short person "You should be taller" is on the same level as saying to a black person "You should be white". However if someone says that second line, he will be punshed in the face immediately, but if someone says the first line, then its more accepted?! Society logic 🤷
@samonellasgayclone1054 did u grow or what

This doesn’t help me 🙄🤧💔💔💔💔💔🙌🙌
5'3 i was in school i ask a girl out then she said no.that was totaly fine but she was sooo mean. She said iam un atrative😐
Uk it's not short height that's hurts... It's the helplessness, to not be able to change it. Especially for guys. Women will wear 6" high heels and flex it. Men are helpless. Even men want that 6" to give them 6kg of confidence but the society won't let them. That's what's sad. The only way left for us is to SOMEHOW find something ELSE that can fill that hole back with confidence and self acceptance.
what is exactly your height that makes it bad for you? i think im much shorter than you. i dont think youre short at all. is it different for men?
I wonder why everyone cares so much about height, if we make it to a really old age, we all end up looking like shit anyways. Just look at all the gorgeous movie stars that have aged, 99 percent of them look ....yikish
Even though I'm quite tall yet I'm insecure about my height and pisses me off and gives me anxiety
i am 5.8 i cry everyday
better than being 5'4
