I feel really depressed because of my height. My appearance has totally ruined my life. It makes it so hard to have people respect me and treat me fairly. People think I'm inferior because of my height.  It's hard to keep friends and meet people from the opposite sex. It's just a lose situation

Sometimes I wonder how much doing call will change my life. I mean I lived all this long and have records that I was short. Is height really going to get me the dream life and respect that I wznt?

I am 5.55 but still have the same feeling with you in Japan.
Height affect my normal life because I would feel upset seeing myself shorter than many man as well as women. I understand your feeling friend

Maybe 7cm in internal femur and 5 cm in tibia could make you go to 5.7fit

Thanks for understanding. It totally sucks being short. I am seriously thinking of doing cll..but it's not like I was born tall. People knew I was short, medic! Records etc show my previous height and now I'm five i. It's how people treat me. It's not the feeling of inferior. Because I don't feel inferior. But treat me badly because I'm a short man  it makes me depressed.

How old are you?

Do you think it is possible to go to a new place where you like to start a new life?
If you are young I think people would just think you grow to 5.7 because it is normal for growing later in 20s.

I'm not young. I'm 32. I'm past the growing stage. I want to go to a new place but where? You can't just pick up an gp. You have to apply for visas...residents card...permanent citizenship card. I would love to leave this Shiite life behind. But my personal records will follow me wherever I go.

Is 5'5.5 really that bad in Japan? It's less than 2 inches shorter than the real average.

@OP: I'm so sorry you have to go through this bs. Try to remember that it's not worth feeling down due to people who treat you badly - they don't even think of you for longer than however many seconds they interact with you. It's hard, but they're not worthy of being the source of your mental anguish. You'll overcome that situation with time. For now, try to stay well.

It's ruined my life. Short people are despised in this word.
