Bit of a morbid topic here
Have any of you guys at stages of your life had height neurosis/discrimination to the point you have thought it would be easier to just be dead?
Ive had numerous occasions through life where ive seriously contemplated it
Hell no, and I'm 5'4.
I think it's one of the stupidest reasons out there. Take away your own life because of something that you couldn't control and something that isn't that big of a deal when you realize there are millions of other people close to your given height (especially as you go up the height curve even if you are below average). This isn't my stance of suicide as a whole (it's too nuanced and naive to group all types of suicide attempts into one), but when it comes to this, I think of it as a sign of pure weakness.
Go see a shrink dude. LL only makes you taller, doesn't clear away those self-loathing thoughts you are implying you have (based on what I'm reading)...
Thanks for the response
Never to the point of suicidal ideation.. Pls see a psych?!
I know a guy killed himself cause of his penis size but dude, there are many things we CAN change in the year 2017 and that includes your penis size and even your height

I'm 161cm and where I live it's about 10cm too short to be considered equal. Instead, I'm considered inferior and the ppl around me love to show or even tell me that.
For many years I wanted to die because of it and I had this loop in my head: My body is bad, I'm treated badly, there is no way out, so my body stays bad, I'm treated badly...and so on.
And by the time it looked easier and easier to me, to just cut my veins.
Everyone is experiencing life differently and I'm very aware that some in this forum will think I'm completely nuts now, but that's how my world and my brain function.
The prospect of LL has become the only reason why I haven't committed suicide yet.
It has shown me a way out of the loop. Size is a changeable thing now and I can enhance myself.
I think what you need is HOPE for a change. It doesn't have to be LL of course. But it seems that it's hope what keeps us going in every given situation we are in.
Many things are changeable.. I will not be using this forum anymore but please keep the faith

Thanks for the response and i really hope your life gets better i seriously do.
Dont think like that man, fortunately there is a solution for that problem( CLL), so you could be finally happy.If people has discriminated you is because they are jerks and dont know that height is something like a lottery,if I dont have enough luck I am
inferior wtf!!! That is an estupid affirmation. Even people with tall parents can finish not as tall as was expected, so a thing is
find a solution and the best thing is that such solution exists.
I was suicidal when I was 16 years old. Tried to cut my wrists. Not height related though, just teenage angst and some problems at home (had a rough home life growing up)
Didn't even realize I was 'short' until 31 years old.
I had a buddy kill himself about 3 years ago (not height related). Left a suicide note to the effect of "nobody loves me anymore"
The amount of people at his funeral would beg to differ. I honestly hate him for it.
Height neurosis sucks, it really does, I get it...cause I have it. Still would never kill myself. It's a big world out there, and there is ALWAYS a way to make things work.
My best friend is 5'4-5'5 and does just fine in life.
I would consider Alu a friend for sure, he's 5'4, and seems to do just fine in life.
I have a 5'2 guy working for me that does fine.
I have a 5'5 guy working for me that does fine.
One of my church elders is 5'5 and does fine.
My uncle was 5'7 and did fine (he died a few months ago)
I have another uncle at 5'5 that is worth over $20 million.
Another friend is 5'6 and dating a stripper.
Another friend is 5'5, going to school for architecture, and has a beautiful girlfriend.
Another friend is 5'5, works for a major hotel chain, and is a total player. (edit: he's 5'6)
Read DIFM's diary. He says to quit looking for evidence that short guys get the raw end of the deal. He's right!
This forum, r/short, the misc, 4chan, whatever....are TOXIC if you have height neurosis. Stop reading, stop thinking, and start living!
Height is the stupidest reason to commit suicide. I've known far too many short guys that have good lives. Far too much evidence in the world that a short guy can live a good life. I've NEVER known a short guy in real life that was as miserable as the short guys on the internet. It's mind boggling.
Do most the short guys I know wish they were taller? Probably. Would their lives have been easier? Probably. But none of them let it get to them. Maybe mentally, because I'm not a mind reader, but external results? Yeah, they do fine.
Besides, and I hate to say this because I would NEVER recommend LL to anybody, but there is always LL.
See a shrink. Try a few shrinks until you find a good fit. GET HELP.

QFT
LL is a very radical solution and sometimes it is not a solution.So do whatever you want, with the condition it helps you and dont affect other people.
