actual height and height that people think you are

Edit Post

Hi guys,
       I did limb lengthening 4 years ago. Went from 181 to 185.. it’s made a huge difference as I’ve gone from looking average height to looking quite tall compared to an average group of people. I’m confused from what people would perceive my height as being. Every now and again I get told I’m tall but not a huge amount as I only consider myself kinda tall. I met someone recently who told me he was 183/184 and I had a hard time believing him as when we stood next to each other in the mirror I was quite a lot taller, I looked about 2 to 2.5 inches taller. He told me his posture is terrible. So we measured ourselves properly and he was indeed only 1.5cm shorter than me.it made me think maybe people perceive as being taller than I actually am as the difference between my relaxed height and standing straight height is barely different.. especially compared to this other guy who was 2 inches different when standing straight. I’m just wondering if anyone else is like this, cause I ideally want to get to 188/189cm with a second surgery to be tall not just kinda tall. But if I’m perceived as being 187 to others maybe mentally I’d be able to forget about limb lengthening all together.. what do u guys think?

I measured him he was 183.5.. then I measured myself 185 but standing next to him I looked atleast 2 to 2 and half inches taller . So he wasn’t lying about his height
