First off, sorry for posting so much, just got my account and I think about CLL all the time. Aside from being very short myself, CLL is super intriguing to me in general.

This is probably a hot take, but I want to hear the discourse around this: I think cll at above 5'7 is not logical (In USA). From what I can tell as someone 5'5, there are a few tiers of being short.

below 5'2: extremely short, it will be hard for you. Get cll.

5'2/5'3: very short, probably livable, but probably should get cll.

5'4/5'5: unusually short, still a harder life than someone tall but not horrible. I am here, and I am strongly considering cll and will probably get it

5'6/5'7: normal short, this is ur typical short person seen everyday. Not that bad, still there is prejudice but its more just jokes

5'8: just a lower average, maybe some short jokes but it really wouldn't be very funny because you aren't that short.
 
Above 5'8 and you are no longer short.


I think people at 5'8 and above have more issues with their own inferiority complexes than actual issues from society. Not to invalidate CLL at any height, if it will make you happy, and you think its worth it, all the power to you. But from a purely logical perspective, I doubt CLL at 5'8 and above would actually substantially improve your life more than a therapist. I don't think the risks etc from a lengthening long enough to be noticeable would be worth it.


I would love to hear what others think, more perspectives from people at other heights upon the height tiers and value of cll at average heights.
