Whenever I tell someone that I wish i was shorter, they are always taken a back(being masculine presenting). I am just over 6 ft, in my country, that’s a bit above average height. Its not like I am a gaint or anything but I am always aware how intimidating I look. Also, the country where I live doesn’t feel like it build for people my size. Mini-van for transportation that squish my knees, ceiling that are a bit too low for my taste, showers space that’s too small.
But also, I feel like a bumbling idiot (I suspect I have Dysprixa) and hate standing out so much. I may have Body dysmorphia. Its like how I would like to be seen and how I feel, are the exact opposite to how I seen. I feel small, soft, in a relationship, I would prefer to take on the "feminine " role. I feel nothing like a man.
Anyone else relates to this.
Well, yeah, it isn’t built for the seriously vertically challenged either, but everyone thinks being tall is soooo much better. It really isn’t – for every high shelf or tall counter that might piss someone short off, I can point to a basement I’ve had to stand in, a low counter I’ve had to hunch over, or a vehicle I’ve had to sit in that pissed me off just as much if not more so, especially because this usually caused me physical pain (bumping my head, crushing my legs, and so on) – whereas if you’re too short, I imagine you just sigh and go “damnit, I need a stepladder. Again.”
I need a stepladder to do pretty much anything in my home. Also, I get hit directly by close-range ass and pit sweat when in public/trains/escalators, so there’s that. I do think the air at least is better up there.
