Another interesting discussion.
Accepting Negative Traits + Self Development Is Formula For Happiness?
Both OP and extremis make good arguments. I guess in the end there are two types of people on this forum:
People who are pretty neurotypical and have generally sorted most things out but are convinced their height is the only thing that prevents them from truly feeling fulfilled. They are facing legitimate heightism and discrimination.
People who are literally subpar in almost every aspect in their life and are not neurotypical and suck at everything but are convinced height is the main or sole reason for this subparness. They may be facing heightism, BUT let's say like if they gained 5 inches, because of their personality, they still would be the guy that people tried to avoid (weird, self deprecating, on the spectrum and dont understand social cues, shiittyy human in general)
Move up is referring to human number 2
Extremis is referring to human number 1
There certainly are people who want LL and are very functional adults and literally have done their best in every other aspect of life.
There certainly are people who want LL and are literally neckbeards trolling on reddit all day staying inside never going out cant even look a person in the eyes and simply were like this from childhood because of bad upbringing or genetically predisposed personality. They were "weird" and offputting at age 5, even before kids cared about height
In any point, basically what Moveup is saying is that some people are short but are also just shiety and lazy humans and their height has very little to do with being a "weirdo". So maybe work on other aspects of your life before blaming height for your unhappiness
Extremis is saying there are people who face significant discomfort from their height and their height is the sole reason they are neurotic sometimes. These people have good lives, are normal people you would be down to chill with, have good careers and understand most social cues, are just good humans in general. Height is the only thing that messes with them, romantically and forming other's impressions of him.
Both are honestly right, there's not much of an argument here. Both arguments are valid and the conversation just are talking about separate things
