About I Am Shauna Rae:
Shauna Rae may look like a child, but she desperately wants to be treated like an adult. I Am Shauna Rae follows Shauna as she navigates the extraordinary challenge of trying to live a normal adult life despite her appearance. Diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer at six months old, Shauna’s treatment allowed for remission, but resulted in a side effect no one predicted - she stopped growing. The chemotherapy made her pituitary gland almost dormant, leaving Shauna with a childlike appearance and standing at only 3 feet and 10 inches tall-- the average size of an 8-year-old. Except, Shauna is 22.

For the first time, I actually agree with her. She cannot physically reach the drink and its embarrassing. If I was in that situation I would feel bad that everyone is looking at me. They should have given her a chair to sit in or something.
She asked for? Or was she waiting to everybody to treat her like the star of the party?
@@samanthaabreu782 Quite frankly if they're asking her to participate in an inaccessible activity, it's on them to help make that activity accessible.
Or just her own drink
@@courtr1588 exactly
Exactly.and the sister obviously has known her all her life, soon as I saw that I thought ,whoever that is offering her to take a drink, is trying to embarrass her then she follows up with the statement about not showing sympathty.it makes sense.
It’s not about sympathy, but of understanding and being respectful.
Yea but if she wants to act grown up she. Needs to stop whining and adapt to her life
@@zacharygriego6797 I understand what your saying. It’s hard for Shauna to adapt. When that’s what she has to deal with every time she goes to a bar club anywhere in public. She should tell her sister how she feels. So her sister won’t make her feel uncomfortable. I feel bad Shauna goes through that in public.
She wanted her to embrace herself, to act like a grown woman as she always wants.
Not everything is about her. That's her sisters Bachelorette weekend. She should have stopped being a buzz kill.
thats empathy
Sis needs real friends. These aren’t “friends”. My literally goes out to this poor woman. I’m praying for her ❤️🙏🏾
Those “friends “ are actually family members except for one of them, Tara is her sister…….
Exactly! That's because the people she's RELATED to are LOW-KEY BULLIES!! NOT FAMILY. FAMILY would NEVER treat you as such! Being RELATED DOES NOT MAKE YOU FAMILY. My heart goes out to her as well. 💯❤️🙏🏽
@@johnnylego807 no only 1 of them is her sister rest is sisters' and her friends
right but one or two of them are sisters and i think
those are the sisters friends but i definitely understand
Her parents contributed so deeply to how she's treated in the world. She's more than just a littler person she very literally has the body of a child. They encouraged her to behave like on and that makes it a lot more difficult for her. If she had a mature energy, we'd all be less likely to see her alike a child. I think her sister is just trying to encourage her to assert herself like an adult.
I agree. They baby her so much. She gets so upset when someone thinks she’s a kid but she acts immature.
No cancer affected not just her physical devolpment but also her mental development. Pituitary gland affects both of those things when its stunted.
Yeah she’s an adult so she can do whatever she wants
@@steph678 I don't know enough to say that is true or not as I'm no doctor, but watching several of her videos it certainly seems to me that except for her trips around the sun, she is a child and being forced to live in adult situations beyond what we would consider fair to expose children to, or beyond what a child is capable of handling. There are always caring adults around her to help her when things get too rough. I suspect her body will age visibly at which point she will not pass for a normal child anymore, at which time will be taken more as an adult. Maybe some surgery could help then in a more adult appearance if she desires it. Perhaps she could consider enjoying her extended childhood as she does seem to enjoy child things like coloring with other children (from the beach/swimsuit video).
She should learn to do her hair and make up to look older
Her life seems horrible honestly
I have to eye roll at this entire show. I feel for Shauna but the show just constantly puts her in awkward situations for the shock value.
Except it's probably a fake situation. Think about it. There would have to be a camera crew right there filming her. Just more scripted "reality" TV bullshit.
That's what I'm beginning to think as well because why were her sister pressure her to order the drink when she knows the type of questions she's going to be asked is just making her feel more uncomfortable I'm beginning to think the show is based off of her feeling uncomfortable and that's just so desperate for anyone to do seriously
@@stormstorm7396 the kite on the beach scene did me in. Like calm on????
To play devils advocate a little, you could argue that the show is forcing her into these situations to show what it's like for her to be in these situations and why she might not normally put herself in them.
@@eXponentia well absolutely. That’s so frustrating though. She could live a somewhat normal life if she only did things that didn’t make her the center of attention. It’s probably not even healthy for her to drink alcohol. So strange.
She doesn’t just lack sympathy. She lacks any form of consideration.
@@Hahah100 pretty sure they were talking about the girl that tried to make Shauna drink
@@sheldoncooper1569 deleted the reply lol
Right like wtf 🤬
She’s also an idiot it’s obstacle not optical
@@rydag11 hahaha 😆, that drink was hitting her brain .
It is not about sympathy. It is about respect.
It’s not about sympathy, it’s about inclusivity, respect and common courtesy
Why on earth would none of the friends find this woman a bar stool or a chair to stand on? I think she should have ordered the drink because I imagine people are staring because they think adults are serving drinks to a child. If she showed her ID and was served everyone would realize she's an adult and a little person. I feel for her because her condition really does give the impression that she's a small child, voice included, but the party wasn't all about her. A few small considerations from friends might have helped.
She's capable of getting herself a chair🙄 she's an adult and shouldn't expect everyone to constantly cater to her. She literally expects everyone to only focus on her n her overexagerated needs. She wants to be normal but does all this crap to set herself up to be miserable n simply get mad or complain cus everyone isn't constantly thinking about her, instead of simply speaking up or doing it herself. She's short, she's not handicapped
@@steph8703 these comments tend to get weird depending on the video and I honestly don’t get it. If someone were to go fetch her a chair people would have complained about others not respecting her as an adult and would have claimed she was being babied and infantilized like in literally half of the TLC clips. One of the few times people don’t go out of their way for her and now people are saying that no one is being considerate. Honestly, I would hate to be her friend in the public eye knowing nothing you do (or don’t do) will ever be good enough.
@@steph8703 I was waiting for this comment. I will say her friend maybe could've been a little more considerate, but the way I saw it was her friend treating her like an adult. I expected her to at least say "hey can you grab me a chair" or just flat out tell her friend she's uncomfortable. I'm sure her friend would've understood that.
@@sincerely_bkkkk exactly. The entire show is about her wanting to b normal but then she freaks out if she's even slightly treated normal. I would never want to be her friend, there's no way to be happy or a "good friend" bcus she clearly doesn't even know what she wants.
Yeah that was rotten of them
It’s like bringing a friend in a wheelchair- it’s not about sympathy it’s about being considerate
And then ask them to walk a couple stairs too
She’s not in a wheelchair, she’s fully capable of going to get a chair or better yet EXPLAIN the situation at the time so it can be resolved… rather than whining about it like a child after not taking initiative.
She needs to start acting like an adult if she expects to be seen as one.
@@MeHoyMinoy-cv3ps ok but don’t you find it rude how she was gonna make her order so she could see the bartenders reaction. She’s literally acting like she’s something to laugh and gawk at.
@@90sdaycoreaudiosyes, people find it bizarre and can you blame them for a natural reaction upon meeting someone with this rare condition? Nobody was actually rude so still no excuse for her herself to act like that. Very immature.
@@MeHoyMinoy-cv3ps actually yes I can blame them, everyone judges but how would you feel if you were her? You’d be thinking real differently
Her sister is like the kind of people Shauna is trying to avoid
Dude her sister was literally laughing at her with her friend about how she couldn't reach
Is that her younger or older sis?
@@underagedfreak6426 younger by only 2 years
If you can't physically reach an object; no amount of pushing you out of your comfort zone is going to magically lower a bar or raise the floor. That "take a drink" moment reflected an unbelievable level of Tara's ignorance at best and psychological abuse at worst. Good job, S., for sticking up for yourself! It's not about getting sympathy; there's no way for you to reach it!
No, she doesn't want sympathy for the "opticals" she faces. She wants realistic consideration. It is by no means sympathizing to look at a woman who literally cannot physically reach this drink you're pushing her to drink and be sensitive to the fact that she can't reach it.
Right, this isn’t “opticals” it’s inclusion for a disability. You wouldn’t ask a person in a wheelchair to step up on a bar and drink, it’s hella disrespectful. People are staring at her already, have some empathy and create some equity in the situation so she can have a good time too.
Why couldnt she sit at the bar if its a height thing. Or sit at the table and they all drink. She offered no solution to join in the fun but to get mad and angry
@@mewtwomotherfuka I agree. She should have sat or stood on a chair. I'm sure this is not the first time she couldn't reach something so it's not that hard to figure out.
Realistic consideration is a joke. She is grown and can think for herself. She just needs to be more comfortable in her own skin. People are ignorant and will always give her a certain look when she is out in public. It is up to her to push past that and give in to the fun that could be had with her friends and family. She will get there one day.
I noticed that too and it drove me crazy when she said that.
I feel bad for Shauna. I could tell she is uncomfortable. I 100000% understand her no matter what.
So don't go to a bar
@@mikeysironrage8103 i never went to bars ever 'cause I am a teenager and I'm sensitive
@@mikeysironrage8103 it was her sisters Bachelorette party... why are these so many @ssholes in this comments section
@@carbonatedPigeon don't know
@@nataliejones8308 I thought you understood her 1000000000% tho? :(
Dude, this is unacceptable she has the right to be there without all these people bothering her. The fact that people don’t understand we all come in all shapes and forms… you go Shuana, have your fun regardless of what they think, and you gotta feel safe while doing it. You are making such a change by appearing. On TV, giving visibility to everyone in a similar situation, everybody should thank you for that.
Yeah the only people she wants bothering her are the camera crew and her huge audience from the TV Show, she just hates being gawked at. 😖
That first girl saved her from becoming a single mother.
does she not realize there’s an entire camera crew following her? i’m pretty sure i’d stare at a camera crew in a bar
Exactly. These (so called) reality TV shows are so fake. There's obviously a camera following her.
The cameras can zoom in from far away so they don’t have to be on top of her
Thats not the point thoe, random girls were taking photos. Shouldnt matter if theres a camera crew ir not, I would t want randoms takibg photos of me and my friends
@@Icysquarzes if there’s a camera crew capturing your every move in a club you should expect stares and photos.
@@user-xf5up6qt5r We alk know they are taking the pics so they can tell people they saw a little girl at the bar drinking alcohol.
she is literally the size of a child, how could you yell at her to take a drink when there’s no way for her to reach
I think she wanted to embarrass her
Very inconsiderate older sister, I'm sad for Shauna.😔
@@katherinebravo4872 Her sister was literally laughing at her with her friend about how she couldn't reach
Isn’t it heart warming that most of us in the comment section really understands how Shauna’s feelings? Let us all keep up with our this beautiful compassionate personality all the way till we die someday. I think this is the key personality till our end meets… peace ✌️
Shauna doesn’t want sympathy, she wants empathy
I don’t think she wants sympathy, Shauna wants kindness. They type of kindness where they would go sit down so everyone would be comfortable?! 🤦🏻♀️
Right
How about the kindness where she explains her situation at the time like an adult so it can be resolved
Kindness where she doesn’t talk behind other peoples backs blaming them because she’s too childish to take initiative.
Not everyone is going to like you
It’s not even about kindness, it’s about basic consideration. Like just recognising someone you supposedly care about doesn’t have some of the same capabilities that you do and accommodating that should be standard practice
Agreed
I understand Shauna getting stiff and uncomfortable once people brought their phones out. I think at that point (immediately when it happened) she should have told her friends, and I believe without a doubt they would have gone up to them and said something. If not, maybe the friends should be reevaluated because honestly if I was Shauna’s friend, and saw someone taking pictures of her, I would go start some shit.
You don't think her friends or family see the camera's are out? This is another family willing to exploit their kids and allowing TLC to do so.
@@christineperez7562 I must agree with you there. l'm in a wheelchair and a few years ago I went to a concert with my friend-- at one point she noticed that others were staring at me and talking about me and it made her extremely upset. She wanted to "fight" them about it. I asked her what was wrong and she told me what was happening, and it was actually me who told her that it was okay and that we were going to focus on having a good time. (I wasn't always that carefree about things like that, but that day I was way too focused on having fun!) The reality is that the people with Shauna most likely saw what was going on, they simply didn't care or think that it was important.
You understand she's being filmed on a TV show, right?
Order my own drink and be done..Cheers!!!
Or get all their phones out and start taking pics of the other women lol see how they like that shit. But I'm petty lol
I would take a picture of the people taking pictures of me with the flash on. Shauna is the sweetest!!!
That is what Jughead does on his Instagram account 😂😂
1. I absolutely understand not being comfortable in that situation.
2. But she's an adult- she can speak up like an adult and say "I'm not comfortable with this" instead of throwing a tantrum.
3. She needs to get away from the toxic people in her life (including her mother) who baby the shit out of her so she can grow up.
The way her family members are beside her no matter what is soo sweet
I wish I had a family like this
How are they beside her if the sister literally says she doesn't want to give her sympathy makes sense why she Purposely shames her by offering her to take a drink knowing she's not tall enough to reach.her mindset is obviously shaming so that she doesn't go to gatherings
@@Emoney559 Exactly, I realize they are trying to be positive and improve her confidence, but they are way overstepping and taking out of her comfort zone.
@@Cookieboy70 at least they could accommodate, how are they goin to invite without accommodating,or even asking for a chair for her.
@@Emoney559 she can get a goddamn chair herself is she not an adult?
I strongly suggest the voodoo bucket but make sure you have at least 5 friends to share it with and none of you drive home!!! It's a very strong drink
Do you know how much it cost? I’m guessing $80. 😂
drinking from the same bucket? lol disgusting!
@@pvdg3515 all the backwash 🤢🤮
@@richthepup Barf.
@@richthepup if you back wash while using a straw i think YOU may be the problem
telling someone "you HAVE to drink" is not "not giving her sympathy" its just being a bad friend. she doesnt have to drink alcohol if she doesnt wish to.
I know exactly how she feels. I look like a young teenager even tho I’m 21. I get really self-conscious about ordering at bars or walking in casinos because there’s always that suspicious look people give you like you’re a child.
When people stare at you all the time, almost everywhere you go, it's natural to become hypersensitive and even paranoid about it. I get her sister was trying not to make a big deal about it but the while situation was kinda awkward. They should have booked a private area so they could enjoy and also Shauna could feel comfortable to enjoy. If she were my sister/friend I would have done it that way. Just saying get over people staring at you is unhelpful and minimizing.
That would've been the best compromise
I couldn't agree more with everything you said.
So true! Feel bad for Shauna cause nobody seems to try to understand why she’s so nervous and upset in this clip.
But Shauna and her sister ryley were the ones planning the party?
Lol you think she wants privacy when she’s willingly on a TV show? Use your brain.
I don't think half the people in these comments understand how dehumanizing it is for people to gawk at you and take photos of you as if you're free entertainment. Shauna is stressed from being out of her comfort zone, probably already feeling bad enough because this party is supposed to be for her sister, (I think?), and Shauna is having trouble engaging with her friends and sister. The stress from being uncomfortable, sensory overload, feeling as if no one understands that you want to be included but not treated like the main priority/focus of this outing definitely put her over the edge. I don't even think that if she did stand on her toes, she still couldn't have reached the drink. (I didn't see chairs' either which could've helped include her.) She's not looking for pity. Just stress-free, easily accessible fun.
Some people are just worried because they see a kid at a bar. Is not like everyone knows who she is
She's lived her entire life like this, when is she going to get over it?? How much longer is she going to let other people affect her? Im not speaking out of my butt either cause Im 4 foot 6, people constantly look and make unnecessary comments but if I let that effect me I'll be miserable.
@@lucylulunena10011 Having her "get used" to the treatment she receives isn't the answer. Shauna is constantly looked at like a child. This is much different than short jokes. Instead of shauna "getting used" to mistreatment people should mind their business or learn to treat people better. Even if someone makes the mistake of confusing her for a child and being concerned, that can easily be fixed without the need to take photos of her. There are just some things people can't get used to vs someone who shouldn't have to get use to it. Shauna is allowed to go out and have fun, have an accessible environment, AND not have to worry about people saving photos of her without her consent. Public place or not she's not harming or provoking the women taking the photos, but they feel the need to do so. Let people live.
Comfort zone? Lol she's on national TV! She acted like a total brat. She was incredibly rude to her friend, it was a Bachelorette party, she knew exactly where she was going and then through a little fit and treated her friend like she was the bad guy.
@@marciliojunior4919 If they truly thought she was a child at a bar they would have/could have approached a bartender or Shauna herself to sort out the misunderstanding. They might not know her or her situation but taking a photo of her wouldn't help them discover if she was a child being served drinks. They should have connected the dots that she is of age because Shauna has to show her ID at the bar in order to drink. Also, I don't know a lot of people when I go out but that doesnt give me the right to take photos of strangers. Shauna isnt harming them or provoking them to a point they need a photo for safety/legal reasons. TV show or not, those women didnt need to know Shauna to have the decency to not photograph her. Im sure the camera they are using could pick up the uncomfortable expression Shauna had from being photographed.
I honestly feel like it’s everyone’s own responsibility to learn how to contain your frustrations in social interactions and environments. I’m super self conscious about a keloid I have on my forehead that was much larger when I was younger and used to become angry with everyone’s lack of consciousness for my insecurities when we would go out but I learned that it was my responsibility to not think every whisper and laugh or whatever was about me even if it was, it was my responsibility to decide if I’m going to ignore them and enjoy myself or not
Exactly… there’s nothing wrong with feeling insecure but to get mad at your friends bc they don’t know what’s going thru your head isn’t nice. Shauna needed to communicate how she was feeling so they could’ve helped.
"I just want to be left alone" while having a camera crew follow you everywhere and draw attention. 😆
So she was mad because people was looking at her? Well she had a camera crew following her. That's why they were staring lol
FACTS!
FACTSS
Ikr
First thing that came in my mind as well. Those girls were probably curious about the camera crew and wanted to text a friend "hey, I might be on TV, they are filming this short girl"
mmh yeah makes sense i completely forgot about that
I can definitely understand why Shauna feels the way she does. I'm 4'9, in my 40's and I weigh like 80lbs. I still get mistaken as a kid. For my bachelorette party my sister's and I were in the French Quarter in New Orleans. As we were walking I heard a women made a comment at how short we were and that are we looked like kids. I'm thinking to myself mind your buisness. Just go and do you and don't worry about us. Some people are just ignorant and stupid.
I have the opposite problem, I'm 6'1". I don't get as many comments now but when I was younger people would always say things like do you play basketball. I find in general though people are far more kinder to tall people than short, e.g. they say they wish they were as tall as me, nobody says "I wish I was short". But it's not easy being a tall woman either. It does bother me when people stare, and it's not like I'm extremely tall!
My girlfriend is 4’8 and I find it beautiful! Love yourself 🙏🏽
@@jj-if6it you are extremely tall
@@cuca_ I mean lots of girls are taller than me, so I don't find myself crazy tall
@@jj-if6it that want female models to be as tall as you so you have that going for your height!
As someone who is also short and pretty young looking, I understand where she's coming from. When you are constantly treated like a child and then harassed and made into a circus attraction just for trying to do adult things, it gets pretty upsetting and emotionally draining. Even if she does want a little sympathy, I dont think thats asking much or unreasonable for her circumstances. It's also a matter of respect. When someone feels uncomfortable you don't keep badgering them. Respect their boundaries.
Same here. I found the best way to not be treated like a child is to act like an adult, which Shauna does not… so she’s not really helping herself.
@@MeHoyMinoy-cv3ps just out of curiosity what makes you say she doesnt act like an adult? Cause in fairness to her it's kind of hard to act like an adult when the people around you prevent you from doing adult things. Such as paying Bill's, working, and being on your own. I personally dont consider going out to bars and drinking an adult thing as so many underage kids get fake IDs and bar hop. In this clip shes trying not to make a bigger scene as shes already uncomfortable with all eyes on her due to her circumstance. I'm just playing devil's advocate here as it's pretty hard to "act" like an adult when you're constantly being treated like a child. Her family doesnt do her any favors in that regard. So it's not really fair to say she doesnt act like an adult when shes never given an opportunity to actually try. Shes able to do "adult activities" but not actually allowed to have adult responsibilities which is what creates the independence to be treated as an adult.
@@madarch3r So I didn’t mean acting like an adult in terms of paying bills etc, I mean acting like an adult in terms or the way we handle things and our perception of reality.
Example here; she didn’t take any initiative so sort her own situation out and then proceeded to whinge about it and backstab everyone on camera as if it’s their fault.
Shes not shy in the slightest, she has a whole TV show so I wouldn’t accept she was too timid to sort it.
This day was about her sister and her tantrum really displayed a self centred tendency from her, most likely created from the Molly coddling her parents gave her.
She could’ve gone and got a chair or asked someone suitable for assistance.
All I see is her moaning a LOT about things and not doing anything to rectify them.
I think she’s made people/her friends actually uncomfortable to help her out of fear of her bad mouthing them on camera individually making out they’re treating her like a child.
Your damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Hope that clarifies what I meant.
@@MeHoyMinoy-cv3ps it does. But I also feel shes entitled to set boundaries when she does feel uncomfortable. Just because she has a tv show doesnt mean she doesnt get uncomfortable about her circumstances. Celebs get uncomfortable at time being in the limelight no matter how used to it they are. She said she didnt want to take a drink and that choice should have been respected. She could have gotten her own chair..but let's be honest the chair is literally larger than she is. So again I could see how that would drawn more attention and make her uncomfortable. Obviously this day wasnt about her. Because of her size she is actually considered disabled. And no different than a person in a wheelchair, she does need assistance with certain tasks. So it's not really about sympathy, more a lack of consideration on her family's behalf. They seem to like to pick and choose on what they feel shes is capable of doing.
@@madarch3r I just think she needs to take her situation by the reins, if she couldn’t get a chair herself then she should ask a member of staff.
I agree her family are doing her no favours, she seems extremely dependent.
When she talks it seems like she’s 15 (not because of how she looks), I don’t think she has actually matured due to being babied.
She needs to push herself to sort her own life out and make it better and take action. E.g. with the drink situation, if she felt she was disrespected then she should’ve said something and taken care of it in a mature way at the time, there’s nothing stopping her from speaking.
Shauna's eyes are mesmerizing. They carry so much wisdom. When I look at her, I do not see a visage as an 8 year old. I hope she finds a boyfriend that understands that.
It's so complicated, because like her mother said when she does find a man, the question is why is he attracted to someone who looks like a child? But then also you feel for Shauna, because she's a 22 year old woman, not a child, & she deserves to find love. I really feel for her.
@@sierram3141 Ikr I feel like at that point under her circumstances they should just let her choose a guy rather than deciding for her and questioning before getting to know someone
@@sierram3141 any neuro typical man that dates her will be questioned. The only safe choice is for her to date a man who’s also of her size. but then again, morally is that right? it’s like saying non-abled people only belong with other non-abled people ,which is incorrect. it’s just a hard ethical situation.
@@bleedinghearts4768 exactly! It’s so tough. I truly feel for her because she does deserve love
@@sierram3141 Exactly
If you’re uncomfortable about the situation why put yourself in it ?
She obviously wanted to go support her friend or sister or whoever it is. She shouldn't have to hide just because something might turn out to be uncomfortable.

@@rebeccalazzell5262 I obviously understand that but her attitude is ruining it.
@@pinkmosey that's such a stereotypical way to think lmao I'm 23 and Have been to a bar only once.
@@Bella24. her sister was pressuring her to do sh!t even after she said no multiple times... she's allowed to get angry at that
Her sister clearly doesn’t see the things that she sees. She might want to have a little more “sympathy” - but actually, empathy instead. It’s obvious she was uncomfortable & that’s what was making her agitated. The sister seems kind of air-headed tbh
I disagree. I think Shauna should stop thinking so much about herself and try to embrace the celebration. Being short and stared at is nothing new to her so she should find a way to actually deal with it without getting upset. Also, if you don't like being stared at having your own reality show is probably not a great idea.
J Vega they should have inverted shauna's straw, then she could reach it and get drunk and chill. or she's just very uncomfortable in a loud setting with lots of people like that, I know I am. I already have little interest in talking to people, and when it requires yelling, that interest drops to zero and I just want to leave.
@@AzDoll714 her sister was actively pressuring her when she was saying no. She's allowed to get angry about that
Her sister knows how she acts. And doesn't baby her like her parents do.
Rubbish.
Shauna has her own TV show, she’s hardly trying to stop people looking at her.
She acted like a child in this situation by doing NOTHING to sort it out. Then talking behind everyone’s backs.
This was her sisters special day and she found a way to make it about her.
I believe nobody helped her because she would’ve whined about that too and made out they’re treating her like a kid and being overbearing.
They probably didn’t want to be individually slated on camera behind their backs.
Don’t be fooled by her exterior, she is quite a spoiled, self centred and manipulative person.
As a female that is 4’9 and in the military I do have many instances where I get stared up and down out in public. Even if I where my uniform people look at me as if I were a child and as if I shouldn’t be in because of my height :/ so I can completely relate to and understand her feelings
4’9 also and I’m 22 and look young for my age, people have treated me badly all of my life up until now that I been creating boundaries and standing up for myself. I understand her.
Well you're short but I think at least you don't look like an eight years old little girl. There's a huge difference being short and look like an adult than looking like an actual minor.
@@Petothegreatone the oldest I been told I look is 17 is not as bad as her but I’m still not treated like a adult and that does affect my professional life.
I’m 4’9 as well but I was born with a Chomosome deletion which caused me to be short stature and I’m in my late 20s. I totally get I get stared up and down in many instances like when I’m out with my younger much taller than me like I think they’re around Tara’s heights due to the massive height difference I look like I’m a a few years younger than my cousins but people are surprised when I tell them I’m actually the oldest one and I get stares when I shop in the Childrens shoe section cause adult shoes don’t fit me and size Three child feet and it’s sometimes hard to adult style shoes in my size but a few years ago Black Friday shopping with my second to youngest cousin I discovered a a childrens brand I like cause the adult style shoes like someone my age would wear.
I have ts to! Sisters unite !
“I’m practical and realistic about her obstacles” oh honey no you ableist and quite dangerous to any people with disabilities. Catering to a disability isn’t being “unrealistic”.
Shauna should eliminate ANYONE who believes that accommodations are “unpractical and unrealistic” that’s EXACTLY why our society is set up to basically destroy folks with disabilities. I’m just disgusted by that woman.
Lmao except her friend couldn’t pronounce obstacles and ended up saying opticals. 😂
Could you imagine a blind friend and they’re like. You can’t bring your stick. You’re gonna trip people. But you also cannot hold my arm either. Or a deaf friend and they all walk away and call out “hey were moving over here” and won’t go the extra mile to sign to her.
She honestly shouldn't have gone to the bar. I bet this isn't the first time something like this has happened. Could have stood on the chair to drink. She focused more on if anyone's looking at her and being self-conscious which is understandable.
Im thinking the same.
The producers probably asked her to go.
Justin Mitchell the producers HAD TO do a bar or club scene.
It was her sisters Bachelorette party.
Yeah, she's killing the vibe in my opinion. The bachelorette just wants everyone to have fun, they could have gotten her a chair and a smaller drink. Instead it's all about how she's uncomfortable.
I know the show is called I am Shauna, but this night was not about Shauna and she made it about herself and ruined it for the bride. If she wasn’t comfortable with the itinerary she should have stayed home. If you’re going to act like a baby you’ll be seen/treated like one, especially throwing a fit at the bar like that lol.
Yeah this little girl is full of herself. The world does not revolve around her just because she has a disability. Sorry not sorry but there’s plenty of others in this world living with worse disabilities. I can’t stand Shauna.
She's used to people making everything about her. It's obvious. Her and Whitney Thore should hang out
@@jrica7777 calling her a little girl is disrespectful. Unless you are like 70 or something.
@@georgiabulldog7671 She is a little girl and she acts like one. Maybe if she didn’t complain so much like a little girl and behaved her age, she wouldn’t be referred to as one. And sweetie, I am 30, flirty and hot to the core! 🔥 Muahahah! Not sorry! ✌🏽
@@jrica7777 "i am 30, flirty, and hot to the core" ew. No one asked lmao
The sister was pressuring her to do sh!t even after she said no multiple times. She's allowed to get annoyed by that
I really feel for this woman, such a beautiful kind girl
I feel bad for her, she said she doesn't normally go to public adult places, because of how people treat her, yet there she is being filmed in one.
Girl, you're at a bar with camera crews. People are going to look at you...
Obviously now but its probably like that every time she goes out
@@alyssabeth6177 Perhaps so. But this is obviously a scripted and staged situation. A TV crew isn't going to follow her into a bar and randomly see what reactions they get. Everyone in there is probably a paid extra.
@@jacksonheathen2092 coming from TLC, I don’t doubt that. It was just unnecessary, stupid drama. A “reality” show special. The comments prove how manipulated people are into this shit
@@GlobalTossPot Fair enough. 👍
@@GlobalTossPot She deals with the same problems when the cameras are off. Might wanna go back to school there professor. Your critical thinking skills are clearly lacking...
Shauna needs new friends🤦🏾♀️ cuz if I was there I’d ask her if she wants a boost to get lit with us😂
Yuh they were weird asf…it’s like her sis wanted to embarrass her…like wanting her to order the drink, telling her to drink knowing she can’t physically do it
god that was actually heartbreaking 😭
If a little person goes in a bar, they are built like a little person. Shauna, unfortunately, is built like a child. Shauna is a decent person and she deserves to have a semblance of normalcy. Everyone has to live with the hand they are dealt. I don't think she will ever have a normal, adult relationship with anyone unless they are living with the same hand.
Not sure. 6ft guys date 5ft women all the time. I'm 5'4" I would tend to think that would be a little more acceptable. She could probably find a short guy and would do just fine. Her face won't look young forever. By thirty she may start looking more her age. I have a woman at my gym that is definitely a little person, but has normal person proportions.. not your typical little person body. I can tell she's in her 30s because her face looks older, but she has to be right around 4ft maybe 4.5 feet.
I’m shocked and impressed that these bars are serving her!!! I’ve been denied liquor before several times for “not looking enough like my ID” or not looking old enough. Mind you, I’m 5’8 and don’t have a baby face at all. Not sure if it was the hair color change or different makeup or what🤷♀️.
As a former bartender, I would NEVER deny someone alcohol if they presented a valid ID. I’d never even look at the picture tbh lol. Idk what I would do if I saw her come in tho😬... I would DEF be hesitant (not just cuz she looks 7-8 but she also doesn’t look like a typical person with dwarfism since her body is evenly proportioned). but if she briefly explained her situation I would feel more comfortable. Sadly, she prolly has to tell her story over and over everywhere she goes, and has prolly been denied several times. I really feel bad for her!!!
@Richard Jackson Fake IDs are pretty common. If someone comes in looking a good deal younger than their ID would suggest, it's a red flag that this might be an underage individual trying to score alcohol. (For the record, I don't care too much about underage drinking in the right situation; in my country the drinking age is 18 and most restaurants don't even card obviously young teens.) In Shauna's case, though, there's obviously gonna be SUCH a huge discrepancy between her perceived age and how she behaves that it might be more apparent that she really is 22
@Richard Jackson Idk, but it happened to me up till age 25. I just couldn’t really argue with them about it cuz it’s their business and I just went somewhere else. Silly, I know 😐
This makes me appreciate myself and go out more.
I really feel bad for shauna honestly 😢😭 I’m just 4’9 and I’m 27 😬you know people always thought I’m vulnerable and I’m easy target for predators and creeps out there. I really understand her so much 😭😭😭
That is true! A lot of people always say they want to be treated equal but then get upset when they are treated equal! Pick one!
She doesn’t want to be treated awkwardly, yet acts as if….. so sometimes you can’t be self absorbed because of what you been threw and be part of the people who ACCEPT you! for YOU!… she pushed herself away from the fun! 🤷🏽♀️
Very true
I would feel the same exact way if I was Shauna
When she started saying, "There was a blonde and a brunette at the bar..." I was waiting for the punchline. But it was, "...and I think they were taking pictures of me."
This is the most unamusing show ever.
🤣🤣 huh?
I mean it could have been the fact they had a full TLC production crew in the bar that's why people were taking pictures lol
She's got a great outlook considering her situation
I totally understand her. This happens to me so many time especially when I am in vegas or restaurants people will talk and start and take pictures of you as if you come from a different planet.
I was at a bar a few weekends ago. My friends asked me out so I left one venue to meet them at the other. Said my hello's and once that was over everyone pulled out their phone or talked to the person next to them. The bar was packed and literally no where to sit. I was standing with a beer in my hand feeling awkward as F staring at the wall. Good times. Now I guess I'd have to multiply that by 100 and that's probably how Shauna felt. That sucks!
Wtf cringe ;( did you make an excuse to leave?
@@cuca_ No. Luckily a fight broke out shortly after and a few people left so I was able to have a seat lol
I think you need new friends🤔
@@belgiumgirl8970 Nooo those were some of my boys, just one of those nights
does anyone else sneak away to leave without announcing it to people in these situations? I find it highly enjoyable. feels like cheating the system. :)
I will make a statement too: It is about comunication. I CANT may be due to a lot of reasons, I DONT REACH IT, LETS DO IT SOMEWHERE ELSE is a better response. People can´t read your mind and it is proven that sharing your concerns with the people around you makes the anxiety go down
So she wants to be treated like everyone But ONLY in "comfortable" situations.
ok.... got it.
She ruining the whole vibe she should of stayed home LOL
Shauna: I’m not looking for a relationship
Also Shauna: I want to get pregnant
She is too immature to have a child.
Everyone has struggles. It's how we overcome it!
Paint myself and go out more
She is absolutely right about feeling uncomfortable and not wanting to be pushed!! Now, if you were pushing someone to do something that was innocent and fun, okay! There is nothing innocent about pushing someone to drink alcohol.
Did she really say “opticals” instead of obstacles LMFAO 😭 1:57
Shauna needs to realize that this is her reality and come into terms with it instead of expecting everyone to treat her like a normal person. All she does is complain and it’s getting annoying.
There's a difference between accepting your reality and a friend trying to shove you into a reality that isn't your's. Shauna was there to celebrate her friend and it may have began as a form of encouragement but it did started to look like bullying, trying to force Shauna to order the drink, force Shauna to drink when she couldn't reach the glass! Shauna wants to blend in with her friends. So, how is making her the center of attention going to help? Everyone else in that bar was making her "the tiny girl whose different from everybody else." And she felt her friend was emphasizing it too.
I have my own set of challenges and there was a time when I was trying to overcome my insecurities about them. Some of my friends thought they were helping me by pushing me all the time. I finally had to ask them to step back because they were only making things worse. It's like throwing someone into a swimming pool who has a phobia of water.
I wasn't asking for their sympathy. Their acceptance of who I was was enough and eventually I was able to overcome and accept myself.
Yes. Shuana is annoying. But still, this is all rehearsed and fake.
Ur NOT IN HER SHOES.
In other situations (e.g. the Halloween costume shop) i agree. But here they were clearly pressuring her on doing something she clearly had accessibility issues to do. They should have offered her a stool or something if they wanted her that much to drink
Awe I’m sorry you had to go through that shauna , wish people were more considerate of you
all i can say just do you at least no one can be like you your one of a kind 😚 live your life to the fullest ... MUCH LOVE 😍😍😍😍
This girl is really starting to get on my nerves every time I watch this show. She’s an adult now and she keeps using her height as an excuse or whatever it is for things that she’s uncomfortable about. I wish she would just except the fact that her height will stay the same and she can continue to flourish this adulthood!
Same. And I wanted to like her. I ended up liking everyone else, but her.
It's always about her and her being little. When will it end.and just live life as it comes.
EXACTLY MY THOUGHT! MY GOODNESS! THANK YOU!
Tlc has a fetish for little people they probably want her to end the contract to join only fans
Wow I’m Impressed that she is making her own boundaries.
All that she's taking care of herself and going out of her comfort zone
@@elvisisfine1936 yeah imagine if we were all like Shauna Rae! Living in an 8 year old body all due to a terrible disease. I now have high hopes for this one. 😌 she is embracing herself to be bold and brave and accept all challenges and she knows how to act like her real age. It’s tough to be living in a world like that that’s mean and cruel. There should be a law stating that he or she is an adult living in an 8 year old body please respect their age limit.
That was the most mature that I have seen Shauna 0ortrayed on this channel. I do agree in that situation. She needs to stop pushing her in public...on the spot when anxiety and emotions are already at a peaking level... For her but Shauna the most.
Her parents baby her!! It’s little people in this world girl!! Just go out of your comfort zone and live life your not disabled. Her personality isn’t the best
"your not disabled" She is... And even if she were (which she is) that wouldn't stop her from living. People should be more considerate when they see disabled people out. Taking pictures and recording video is harassment.
I agree and people make excuses because of her disability
@@courtr1588 taking pictures of her is totally fine
When you’re going for someone else it’s not about you it’s about them. You’re being really
Selfish. When there is a celebration it’s not about you it’s about the person
can honestly say Shauna getting pissed off was the first time i was actually like "okay, homegirl could probably whoop some ass"😂
She looks like a lost puppy
I think it would be so cool to go out with her. Most outgoing personality ever. I like the fact that she is so honest. It would be such a fun date ever.
Her family need to treat her more like a adult. She really acts like a child but it’s because they won’t give her any independence.
All she had to do was get a chair, instead of throwing a fit 😭😭
Women like her like to play the victim card.
When I see her face when she was at the bar I felt so bad for her and I could see the pain and sadness on her eyes and felt so bad for her. Ohmygoodness,
I understand the phones and people looking... I’m way taller than any of my friends are and most guys so when we’re out, people always look if I’m wearing heels... it’s just frustrating
Shoot just being yourself people stare no matter what can be a big group they stare be alone they stare yes I know what you mean but fools are fools they will get stared at one day and won't feel good about it keep strong
Exactly 😊😊😊 gotta somehow find a way to just live.
I get that she was uncomfortable and all, but it’s not every day that people see a person as small as her (especially in a bar). People are going to look, because it’s different. Taking pictures of her is going too far, yes. That’s disrespectful. But she needs to get over the fact that she’s going to be looked at.
That doesn’t give people a right to stare and alienate her though, I see many people day to day whether they’re missing an arm, or someone with a ridiculous style. I go on with my day to day there is no reason to stare at anyone no matter how different they are and if you are soo curious strike a conversation.
I agree.. the problem is that you simply cannot control every single person in the worlds reaction to you!! Alll you can control is your own reaction, so she should accept that (sadly).. it’s ok to vent and sensitize people to it but at the end of the day you can’t control them
@@deciphermysoul926 if you don’t want to be looked at. Stay inside. Never come out your house. People are bound to stare it’s just reality 😂😂😂😂
@@deciphermysoul926 yea that's the thing people don't just look once then enjoy their night, if that was the case you could get over it but constant staring cannot be ignored, it's just not nice at all and what I find quite sad is these strangers don't know this poor girls story and what she's been through, it's a shame people can't come to terms with there is difference in the world.
Na grown people shouldn't stare you expect that from children. There's no reason to stare at someone just because it's different.
i think it’s weird she wants sympathy but then gets upset and when her sister treats her older she doesn’t like that either
Feel for both of them to be honest the sisters probably didn't get the attention they needed growing up so feel like Shauna always does stuff for attention. And Shauna feels like her sisters don't care about the struggles she has in life.
I don't go to howl at the moon anymore because of how crowded it always is and how uncomfortable it makes me.
Shauna ❤️ I feel bad for her here, it's not nice being pushed when you are uncomfortable and thumps down to people taking photos of her! 👎🏽
every bar has a stool, get one
If people where taking pictures of me and staring at me at a bar I wouldn’t wanna be there either.
Don’t you ever feel uncomfortable hold your faith stay strong
Love your way off thinking 🤔
By the way you are bigger inside than you believe
Shauna seems to be a selfish person…I’m sorry but all these clips she somehow finds some way to make it about herself
There's a difference between being selfish and being genuinely uncomfortable in a situation and wanting to get the hell out of there. If you had her condition would you not feel the exact same way?
If i ever meet shauna im going to treat her like an adult.
I understand the way she feels and her frustrations.
I agree a bar is not a good meeting place to find a friend.
She wants to be treated like others then now is the time. The real world doesn’t pause cause you’re little… just roll with it and f everyone that makes you feel uncomfortable! Just live and stop putting limits on your self
"f everyone that makes you feel uncomfortable" People post these videos online and many disabled people have gotten harassed over this exact type of thing.
@@courtr1588 she is sound mind she knows what she wants likes dislikes and she knows her limits just like everyone else. She is not disabled she’s short that’s all. That is not a disability. If she had been disabled I wouldn’t even had made any comment at all I would have scrolled on by like some ppl should do when they don’t like what others have to say
Have a beautiful day 🥰
@@Deadlyaunty "she is sound mind" The fact that you think this is relevant in determining whether or not she has a disability is quite sad. She is quite literally disabled and has talked about it on the show many times before. She's not just "short," there are medical conditions AKA disabilities that she deals with which affect her life every single day. Your comment is strange and ableist.
@@courtr1588 you weird for trolling my comment! Move along weirdo
@@Deadlyaunty You're. It's "you're." A disabled person telling you that you're ignorant isn't trolling.
Yikes, idk what she expected with the cameras, there's a whole camera crew following you 💀 and not just that, but no matter what happens people are still gonna look at you weird and whatnot cause you're short, you cant help that. It sucks but you have to learn to get over that
Exactly. Scripted and fake.
At the end she said she doesn’t want them looker at her up and down but for most people it’s just down
Shauna you are a Beautiful Woman....and I am so incredibly inspired by your strong courage and love that you have for others. I definitely wish you all the love and fortune that your beautifullness deserves. Love hugs and kisses from Chatham Ontario Canada.
Love for others lol? She’s backstabbing her friends in this video.
I’m actually watching this series, and Shauna has a bad attitude… Shauna seems to always pick and choose when she wants to be treated normally or as a differently abled person. Her older sister Tara is right in not babying her like the other sister and the mom and dad do. Even Shauna herself ended up saying she wasn’t even sure if the two people at the bar were actually taking pictures of her 🙄
Thank you! Someone had to say it!! I know it’s pretty fake “tv magic” and all. But Shaunas attitude can be frustrating to watch. Like ok she can’t reach the drink or whatever but if it’s your sisters bachelor party it’s not about you. You suck it up and have a good time for your sister
Shauna needs to start making jokes or being funny about people staring at her. Like the situation in the bar. If the girls were taking pics of her, she should have waved at them. I think that would have caught them off guard.
Oh my god. She's allowed to be angry about that. Why are so many people saying she has to just get over it? If she was being gawked at, of course shes going to be upset
@@carbonatedPigeon I didn't say anything about her getting over it.
@@hoosierladyus48 "Shauna needs to start making jokes or being funny about people starting at her" that's literally you telling her to get over it lmao
@@carbonatedPigeon Bullshit!
My friend said I was on some show for a frame or two 1:01 and tbh when I saw her I didn't even think much of it. If Shauna sees this, just know not everyone thinks of it as weird and hope you still enjoyed your time with friends
That show is uncomfortable to watch, because everybody has feelings towards the situation and all of them are valid, but the fact you have a camera crew following everywhere for sure gets attention. And I don't know seems that she wants to be treated like everybody else, but when she is treated like everybody else she wants to be treated in a different way. I just don't know what to think about this show.
Right same here on one hand I sympathize with what she's going through but she can also come across judgmental and self absorbed she said herself she's a b like it's something to be proud of
