I am 1.76 morning height and most of the day I am 1.75. when I tell girls my height (I say 1.76) all believe that I am 1.80 or 1.78 at minimum.
So I don't think that lying about 1 inch will be found most of the times.

It also depends on your build. Really lanky/skinny guys with high shoulder usually appear taller. Also guys who are built with broad shoulders may make you look taller

I feel you. However, I don’t think you’re short, just average. You may have height dysphoria, like me. The way I see, this condition is the worst. I’m 15 and 5’4, I’m also a female. But being average doesn’t stops me from feeling depressed all the time.

Best regards!

Thank you, it is very fascinating to see a woman here who feels the same way.

I feel like 5'8 is a weird height where you should really consider the pros and cons of the surgery and only undergo it if you have the opportunity (as in there's a surgeron nearby, you have the  money and not working for 6 months isn't a problem) or if you feel like you desperately need it

The good thing however with this height is that if you decide to go through with it you'll easily get to above average height while still remaining in the safety range of 5-6cm.

But yeah really consider whether or not you truly want to go through the pain and long recovery for a few additionnal cm, at 5'8 you're not short enough for it to actually impair your life, whether that is professionally or romantically, so only do it if you feel like it'll make you feel good about yourself, not society
