I've recently joined this forum because lately I'm become really conscious of height I'm 5ft11, which many people will say is fine, however I still feel small and it really bothers me because to be truly happy you can't be carrying an insecurity like that around as it effects decisions making and my quality of !I've, I,e not going out. People would say its superficial but height is important in todays society especially for someone who is 23 growing up in a country obsessed with body image. I feel that 5-7 cm would have a profound effect on my confidence even just 3 0r 4 would improve my situation. Some say this is stupid but at the end of the day you have to spend an entire !lifetime In a body your not happy with, and because of that its likely you will never Fifi! Your dreams as things like this will hold you back. Also by 15 year old brother seems to be bigger then me now which is frustrating, he can look forward to years of more growth, its unlikely I will grow now at 23, I'm holding out for an inch but I could just be wasting my time. I'm hoping someone can tell me more about this procedure, my mains concerns are costs, recovery time, loss or permanent loss of strength as I'm very into gym and training. This rea!ly bothers me, I feel scared to ta!k to my parents about this, I have other things in my life getting me down, being a !ittle bit taller would make me feel a !of better about myself
Your don't understand how I feel. Nothing anyone can say will change that, people say you should get over it or in time you will learn to live with it, that might be so but there always be points in ur life where that feeling comes back. I'm 23 I have my whole life ahead me, I get one life, what's the point of life if your just sad until, you can never fufil all your dreams because your confidence will inhibit your from going places, being with people, ceasing every opportunity. If I was 40 0r 50 and I had this feeling it might be different , because you would say I've got this far in life without it effecting me, so why let it now. I'm just asking for advice anyway, I've heard that some will refuse to operate on me with the height I am, are there exceptions?. Being at the age I am its time I need to enjoy my life, but I can't when something like this is bothering me. I am no troll, just give me advice pls. If there is a way you could be even 1% happier you would do it in this one life you get this once chance. You say its a risk but if you don't take risks you stay the same, that's why a 1% elite rule the world because humanity stays inside a comfort zone, with no intention of venturing out of it
Is there anyone with any useful advice for me, or are you just gonna take the piss,
First of all would someone even operate on me at the current height I am?, I am no troll, I'm a just a person in search of happiness, I came here for advice and advice only. At this current moment in time its an option its not like I'm gonna go and sign up tommorow, I want too understand the risks fully, and to someone to explain the procedure and the options available to me should I ever decide to do something like this. Like I said before my main concerns are costs, recovery time and loss of permanent strength. I suppose its the people that admire that make us feel conscious about our height for some people, for example I was a very very good goalkeeper when I was young, but you really have to be at least 6ft 1 to be taken seriously, also you say I'm taller then 84% of guys which I personally think is a bit to high of an estimation, but the vast majority of footballers seem to be at least 6 ft.
Can anyone just tell me about the procedur , such as the risks, the options available for me, costs, recovery, best places to go ect, pls stop with all this philosophical stuff you don't know how I feel right now, just give me advice about this pls pls pls pls
Is there anyone here that had this done and it went well and turned out good for them
