Changed my mind about getting LL surgery.

Quote from: Medium Drink Of Water on June 01, 2020, 11:48:49 PMBeing so insecure about yourself that you feel the need to tower over 90% of other people just to be happy is a bad mentality.

I don't want to "tower" other people, I just want to be like other people are.
Most of people agree that the ideal height of a man is around 180-190 cm tall (5'11''-6'3''), so... I want that for me. I want it, if other people are have that, I want to have it too. I am not asking about having a third arm, I am asking about having something that a lot of people already have, that is not mental illness, that is having my personal point of view.

I don't want to accept something that I don't like, I want to change my body, not my feelings.

Also, selfacceptance is easier when you are 185 cm (6'1'') tall.

Quote from: Albo on June 02, 2020, 01:51:29 AMBro im very happy that u changed ur mind about getting LL you’re in a pretty decent height I would do anything to be on ur shoes but please don’t say things like u need to accept urself because you don’t know how sad it is to be 5’4 as a man in this miserable world we live in today , where people no matter what always find things to judge you so being 5’4 is a pretty  ty situation to be on and you’re never gonna know how it is and how it feels it’s hard to get over it so being given the chance to change it once and forever its like a gift from god

I totally understand, I'm almost always the shortest in my friendgroup hahahah, but somethings you simply cant fight and you have to let go. If you were 300 pounds you could simply go to the gym and literally burn the fat off of your body but you cant do that with height.

I agree, but height doesnt define you, your character does. Ofcourse everyone wants to be 6'1+ but not everyone is 'blessed' with that height. And youre 5'8 thats average in almost all countries outside of Europe, how old are you if you dont mind me asking?

That is the reason because I want to do it, I want to be "blessed" too.
That is not mental illness, that is bringing to my life things that are good form other people's lives.

Please, call CLL "mental illness", because you don't know who are doing it.

I feel bad for you, the fact that height, those couple of extra inches make a huge impact to your daily life. Hopefully you'll find your inner peace one day, good luck though my guy.

I'm glad I can look back on posts that we're dated back in 2014 and even earlier. 5'9 isnt so bad compared to people who are 5'5, not that 5'9 is the same as 6'0 but you get what I'm trying to say. So thank y'all for this!

It has been 5 days since you announced that you changed your mind about LL but you are still here chating and commenting! May I ask why don't you forget everything about this forum and the LL community and get on with your life???.....Are you absolutely sure that you "changed your mind"? have a good day.

"I'm done with LL!" Proceeds to stay on this forum posting constantly about LL and bashing on others for wanting to do a completely elective procedure that he himself wanted to do only a few days ago.

"I changed my mind but I'm still constantly posting on this forum 24/7! I don't want to do LL but I'm still talking in this forum for no reason!"

I'm a med student and I'm currently studying LL because later I might actually do this procedure myself, orthopedic surgery has always interested me.

Do you mean doing it as a surgeon or as a patient?...Don't get me wrong, as fas as I'm concerned you are welcome to stay here for as long as you like.

As a surgeon ofcourse, I'd love to make people who are insecure about their height happy. Trying to lower the risk and maybe make it even more affordable if possible. But we'll see what the future holds for all of us.
