Does height neurosis gone after LL?

Quote from: KiloKAHN on August 31, 2015, 06:01:44 PMHow much time are you able to spend putting your career on hold for recovery? Would an inch or so in your tibiae be too long of a wait period for you even if you were to use the LON method?

I don't know to be honest. I'm about to start a new job, so even next summer, I will only have been there for about a year...so I'd only be able to take a small amount of time off and somehow go to work on crutches. An inch more on femurs would take 2 weeks to click to, and then the wildcard is how long consolidation/recovery takes. But for an inch, shouldn't be long.

Tibias are more ideal for proportions, but they'd still take too long even if I only did an inch. Probaby at least a month to get that inch, and then recovery/consolidation will be long too.

5'7 seems very average, some are 5'7 to 5'10 and the short ones are 5'4 or 5'5. Most guys 17 and up are 5'7+. But 5'9 seems a bit too much for the average.

Well whatever route you decide to go, stick around and share it with us. Don't disappear man!

That's not even close to being true.

I think that if you are still short  , height neurosis will continue but in less grade

Love ya, Kilo

I don't know, I might have to disappear for a while. I've been trying to come on here less...but a combination of the fact that this is still (obviously) on my mind and the fact that I don't have many people to talk about this with keeps me coming back. But it's very hard on here seeing others who are like 5'9/5'10 doing LL to over 6ft or guys who are able to get 8cm in one surgery. I'm happy for them...I'm trying to be happy for others who are naturally tall or guys who achieve a good height in one surgery. But it's hard and sometimes makes me feel like I didn't work as hard or like I failed, in a way. It's hard to explain.

Recovery is happening for me, little by little. I'm able to go up and down stairs now without holding onto anything, doing leg workouts, I'm starting to look shredded again, my bubble butt is coming back (one girl who I slept with before and after LL said it's "about 65% back to what it was") lol...

The real sucky part about all this is that, as I attempt to move on in life (dating, career, getting back into kickass shape, etc)...I just know I'm not done here and I have to go through this sh*t again. I don't know if I have it in me to do tibias, which would be ideal. But I need to be at least 5'9"...that's a decent height, and I can lie and say "5'10" when I feel like it and mostly not get caught.

I'm going to be talking to a therapist to help cope until I do a second surgery. I imagine he will tell me to get off this site. It definitely doesn't help.

It's an important topic this, it would be quite dreadful to through all this pain only to find that nothing has changed. That said I think most people on here are relatively humble in their goals, actually I am probably one of the more greedy ones.

Here's another interesting question: if you had perfect proportions what would be the lowest height you'd be happy at?

My answer would be: 183-185CM as that would be comfortably average in Sweden. If I could grow 5-6CM naturally I'd forget about lengthening (though I admit I'd be tempted to do 3CM and be as tall as my dad).

Quote from: Want More on August 31, 2015, 03:50:31 PMMost of member here need CLL to continue life. But some here have height neurosis (like me)
I think that when i reach 185cm(average for Dinaric Alps 185.6 cm) i will not ever worry about height, and i will not compare my height with other people.
So i was wondering does after CLL your height neurosis have gone? Or after CLL you still comparing your height to other people?

to be honest being in serbia sucks for me.. because i feel shorter here at 185 than i use to back home at 181. because everyones so tall.. but it doesnt bother me cause this is only temporary being here. It depends what ur use to.. ill only know for sure once i get back to my hometown if its gone or not.. id say it will as il be 3inches taller than averge.. in serbia im in the 50th percentile at 185 lol.. when i was probably in 70 percentile back home at 181.. id say if ur use to being below average where u live and will become average than it will go.. but i cant say for sure..

Are the serbians really that tall?

If so that's even worse than Sweden.

And i feel like that I am probably one of the more greedy ones. I want to improve myself in every way,not just height. I am really good student,in high school was capitan of fotball and basketball team(even with this height),earning my own money,didn't have problem with girls,i have nice face,good body.But simply i was always obsessed with my height,that is only thing that really missing me.
I will not have problem with proportion becuse my wingspan is 189,i didn't mesure tibia and femur but my legs looking really short compared to upper body.I am about 180cm(181 morning) and i think that i will be happy with 185cm.

Yes,it's realy being sucks live there,when i come in nightclub i feel like shortest guy,i think that even 70% girls in high heels are taller than me.
Also it's sucks to live here becuse average salary here is about 400e,and it's almost impossible to save 10000-15000e for surgery.

Serbian's are very tall,with this height i am one of the  shortest guy on college,i was the shortest in my class. Average height
people from Dinaric Alps is 185,6 cm on wikipedia,but i think it's about 186-187(my opinion).
Which is average height in Sweden?
