Guys who are under 165 cm, please share your experience.

Edit Post

I am not under 165 but im 165

but I will share my experience:

I live in a country where everyone is like 180cm!
Even females are 168+.

I currently wear a moderate shoelift for 2cm gain, thats about it. Any more and I look silly, like I have a duckass or something. The arch is too much.

Anyway, its only in the recent years I have been so self conscious about my height. Before that I used to live a normal life, outgoing. Having fun etc. But all these comments from people, girls and friends have made me this. I am so determined to get this surgery done. I am not intending to go Apo/SysOp on this with 21cm gain. Reaching average height would do me wonders.
I intend to go 6.5 cm on femurs then later on decide if I really need more.

Yeah same here. Luckily I kept my mental strength to finish my education and get a good degree.

My social life is non-existant today apart from few gatherings a month. I have kept rejecting girls too because, im afraid they will notice my change of height when I take off my shoes.
Also I am afraid if I get too close and the relationship gets serious, then there is no way I can just leave her for 6 months without letting her know what I was doing during that time.

Also I know my parents are kinda dissapointed I didnt grow taller. They dont say it but I know they kept praying for it when I was in puberty. I wish I knew about HGH back then, I certainly would have done it. So much regret... atleast God has given us these CLL docs who can help us correct some of the flaws.

guys, I really meant what I wrote. 2 cm. We dont use inches metric system around here.
The 2 cm does make a difference and yes I never walk without these. When I do I only have to take one step out of the door I will feel the difference already.


The comments I get are just random. Sometimes the height of some celebrity we see on TV comes up and somehow they wonder "are you taller than  him" and stupid stuff like that.

Yes I have tried to take off my shoes and she noticed it, she actually checked my shoe if it was stuffed when I was in bathroom and asked me. I did admit it and she accepted it. But fk it, if I can have LL and become LL free why not.

Those lifts are not good for your ankles long term, it fkes me up. I cant run at speed with them without hurting myself.

I saw once in Korean program the kpop celebrities wearing those shoes lift with (3-4inch ).. and they look so fine .. I think shoes lift is becoming part of Korean cultural ..

any way.. so if you gf noticed them just say they're for ur back pain, or all the celebrities wearing them so why don't u do the same..

there is one more thing about dating thing..
I'm sure the majority of girls prefer tall men .. but do you think you'll be rejected just because you're short!! I don't think so..
and don't let the negative comments affect you, I mean seriously .. you should stop being so sensitive,   I remember that I  used to make fun of ppl appearance all the time ( in the past).. but my crush was ugly/bald/ an old man!!!

I'm not saying don't go for LL, what I want to say is just enjoy your life

It is hard to enjoy life once you know about LL. It infests your mind. No matter what social settings you are, no matter where you are. You will always be obsessed about height. When I talk to people around my height, I keep talking or listening to the conversation, but inbetween the words I always compare our height. Always.

I sometimes wish I never found about LL, just so my mind would force myself to get over this height neurosis. I have now come to a point where I cut my friendship and social relationship with my friends. I never go to their houses. I always find an excuse to not attend their parties. I wish I could enjoy my life, especially at this stage. I am young and should be surrounding myself with friends but I keep isolating myself.

The loss of confidence has a huge impact on my career too. When I am on daily standup meeting, I am towered by almost everyone. It crushes me to a point where I am scared of speaking. I don't feel secure about myself anymore, everyone can sense it. fk this..

I don't want to be tall. I just dont want to be short. It hurts badly.
