I know where it comes from
for most people, whether online or IRL 5'9 is small


but internet has negative consequences, because I feel that it has created an interest for height that did not exist before and pages full is created just for that (celebheights for celebrities, tallswag with all the girls who claim to feel small at 6' , the creator claims to be 6'6 but i have some doubt she dont look that tall- https://www.facebook.com/tallswag, all bodybuilding and sports website, etc.)


I say I'm 5'9 to my friends (although I avoided answering such questions)
when I'm out I feel in the middle and I rarely see girls do my height and almost never pass me and many guys have my height
DiCaprio is no more than 5'11 and perfect


you know why your complex? And for some, you managed to surpass?
I think in my case the best solution would be simply return to reality, log out of internet and avoid falling on such sites where everyone claims to 6'8 (with a lot of liars I think because I rarely see guys at this height and never for a girls) / it's the same for sport where everyone is tall (see Lucia Fresco, Google says she is 6'5)

Internet makes us see our height as a handicap for everything: sports, self-esteem, beauty, elegance, etc.
but it is far from the case
Balzac was a small man and he accomplished more things than any giant of his time

I think I will do one LL and I will be happy for sure if I avoid this kind of site

a real 6'3/5 guy (192 cm) is that : http://www.noelshack.com/2016-12-1458915038-geant.jpg

I know that
when my father says my family my real height everyone thinks I was taller
Models and sportsmen lies too
https://www.instagram.com/p/BCopjt7tQjr/?hl=fr this girl claims to be 6'5 (if she's i have to hide me because his friends have a similar height and guys are like 5 inches taller)
People lies so I do it too and when I'm with this pretend 6'2 6'3 they know they're not so tall

IRL i see a lot of 5'5 5'6 guys but in Internet I dont see it except here and I see more 6'5 guys than 5'6 (in Internet

5'7"-5'8" is very gray area. It's hit or miss. 5'8" is meh at best. 5'9" and up, you start to really blend in to the point where your height is just seen as normal, and no one will think twice about it. At 5'10" and up, you're safe entirely. The end.

I'm 5'7.5 but I was always the shortest or second shortest kid in my classes growing up (late growth spurt). I also have small/narrow bones so I don't look thick and massive like some short guys. I'm also not remotely good looking.

The combination has created problems for me in getting positive female attention the way my peers always have and that has made me quite insecure about all of my physical parameters. Any that I can realistically "fix" I want to.

I was 165cm and now about 172.
 165 was a hell in life.
Now at my new height my height neurosis is better but i know that im still short.
Know i can see why people of my actual height wants to do the surgery. Its normal because you are in the short side.

No. Its not near 95%. I have been an athlete for many years . I dont think that is possible for me to get that condition back.
Look at my diary. What i can do now is walk and go upstairs but not run or jump. Go downstairs without looking weird is not possible yet. This surgery needs a lot of time for recovery.

Yes I'm short I know but not to the point that some say
I saw some here say the average is around 185cm, which means that even with an operation I'd feel small and that kind of comment makes me despair

Yeah...my thoughts exactly. I'm 173 at night, and while it's a great improvement, it's still on the short side. I feel like at 175/176 and above, you might still feel short sometimes, but more often than not, will feel generally average and good about your height.

I want to do external tibias with Dr. Catagni...the only issue is time!!
