Depressed because of my height.

Edit Post

2 inch really matters. Average height of man in Japan is between 5.7-5.8.

If I am 2 inch taller I maybe would not consider the surgery. It mean I would taller than most of the women and would not be too short compared with 5.10 fit man. Average matters. Higher of course better.

I admire people don't think anything with my height like some of my friend. If I don't think about the height maybe I would be happy but I could not help.

Seeing myself like a senior high school student and I have no other way to grow and change make me depressed.

Don't worry, I'm sure it's just a matter of time until you achieve the height you desire.

I'm 5'7 myself man, pretty depressed aboit it also, average in my country is 5'10, yeah it gets me really down not going to lie, but that's why I'm trying to save the money for it. The way I look at it yes its depressing being short, but look at it this way once you have the money and get it done, it's done, there's light at the end of it all.

Honestly if your height doesnt impact how others treat you..regularly then you really havr nothing to complain about.

I can relate to you not liking your height. I am 37 years old, Caucasian male living in the United States, and my starting height was 5'1.25".   I had my CLL surgery with Dr. Shahab Maboubian on January 3rd, 2019.  I now stand at 5'2.25".  My goal is to get as close to 5'4 as possible.   With insoles, I can comfortably stand at 5'6 or 5'7.   

With this in mind....remember that the "Height does not make the man. The Man makes the Height".  Before CLL, I was able to live a very fulfilling life.  I started a company that is award winning and very successful and we are celebrating 11 years of business during 2019.  I am very strong and fit, and I have always been fortunate enough to date beautiful woman.  Of course, the majority of woman prefer a man who is taller; but that didn't stop me from trying.   Even if 1% of all woman accept a man my height; that is still more than enough woman for me*smile.   I have plenty of friends and a great hunger for life.   The key for me was to accept myself as I am and do the very best I could.   My height was just another challenge in this life that I must overcome and I did.  You can overcome this challenge as well. 

Tell us more about yourself... What do you do for a living? Do you workout or lead an active lifestyle? Other than height gains, what are your ambitions? 

I can fully relate to you and understand that you're going through.  After all years I finally found myself in a position where I could easily afford the surgery and since I own my company, I am able to stay away as long as I need.  The timing was right so I went for it.   I'd love to chat sometime when you have a chance.   We're in this together, my friend!

Talk soon,

In Canada its not the same thing. Honestly I find it ridicilous that people want to do cll becsuse other people are taller than thrm. Its a very immature way of thinking. There is heightism in Canads. And if you are not the right height it completely rui s your life. Every part of my life has been ruined vecause of my height.

Save money for ll and do it if you can

Yea. I think im one of those candidates that need a height makeover. I feel so down. Being a guy and having no one respect me is the worse thing in the world. Im just worried about my past...like there are records showing that im short. I dont know. But i think there isnt anything worse than being short in Canada.

O brother, I have the same exact feeling and outlook on people as you but to some degree I doubt if it's 100% caused by height solely. I'm 176 here in Europe but I'm also not treated fairly in many social situations and women perceive me as a weakling and weirdo. There must by other qualities that trigger this kind of situations.

I'm writing this message on a influence of Ambien for I want to sleep rather peacefully but I was prompted to write it anyway after thought race in my head. It's really hard to write something when every letter is waiving and bedning and whole text seem to dance  btw you've got a very sad set of emojis compared to other sites.

Hey, why does it matter if there’s past record about your old height, let it be. People get facial surgeries and nose jobs and look different from their past selves. 32 is still young, but think about it hard before you choose Cll. I hope when you go for it you arnt alone, I hope you can coordinate with someone from the forum so you arnt alone when you do this, or choose a doctor who has several patients in a social environment like dr Paley. You want to be mentally strong and not depress when you’re in the cll journey..best of luck..
