How much height could a man possibly stunt with the worst diet and lifestyle?

Edit Post

I'd honestly suggest you just leave this forum, Bruce. Posting on here will just keep making you feel bad. You already said you can't do LL because of martial arts, so I don't think you have anything to gain by staying here and being constantly reminded of height topics. Look into therapy to help you accept yourself as you are. Once you do manage that, it'll be just a matter of time until other people who do, too, enter your life.

Posting here does no harm to me, we need to express our thoughts once in a while somewhere. Leaving this forum won't change the facts that my heavily flawed upbringing most likely harmed my height and that my current height will continue to break me inevitably like it always has.

First time I became aware of this was in 2009. I was 16.5 years old. The older I get, the clearer it gets how significant height is in my life and how it will hurt me in the long term.

No amount of therapy will be able to help me more than I could to myself. It mostly will just waste my time paying someone to tell me how to live my life. I already made lists of people who are shorter than their fathers, shorter guys who beat up bigger guys also people like Tom Cruise. It's as much help as I'm gonna get.

Actually, it's the opposite. The older you get, the less height matters. Not only for you, but for those around you.

I think if you just try to forget this topic a bit and just focus on improving yourself as a person, your life will get better. Or maybe you don't need to forget the topic, but be realistic about it and don't be so harsh on yourself. Everyone has their limits in life. Life is not fair. Some people are just born richer, better looking (eventually), more intelligent and have better, more caring parents than the rest of the population. Likewise, there's nothing that stops someone from being born to shxtty parents, looking terrible, having all sorts of chronic or otherwise terrible health conditions as well as a low IQ, and still having a terrible time at school, etc. At least LL is a thing in our current age. There's absolutely nothing people with low IQs can do to make their IQ significantly higher. There's nothing people who were born blind can do to make themselves see (as of yet). There's nothing people who were born with chronic, inherited genetic diseases can do to cure themselves. Put things into perspective. Try to see the positives you have going for you and other people will too. I'm sure you have them. Don't dwell on your shortcomings. Everyone has some. Some less than others.

It's best to let him post and not respond. He is stuck in his head to keep posting the same thing over and over and only a psychiatrist can help him. Which none in the forum are.

Man, my story is really similar to yours (as far as I know). I know how you feel.

Still, again... put things into perspective. What if you discovered you have cancer and only about 5 years left to live? Would you be spending them lamenting how much you could have been if you were taller......... and richer... and more diligent... and had better parents... and so forth?

Conquer your life. You still have plenty of time. You can be the best person you can be, even if you can't be someone else.

You can work on your financial status and character but you could not work on your height.

I really appreciate your help but no one can change the situation.

Just because I'm lamenting over it doesn't mean I am not doing anything in my life, but the regret and guilt over my height will most likely stay with me for the rest of my life.

Would you not be happy living your physical potential to the fullest now while also saving money for LL later in life?

If I am still typing on this forum, it means I'm still living. But I probably will never do LL due to my passion for martial arts. Also if I ever do it, it would be in my 30s at best, I've lost more than 10 years.

THEN GET OFF THE FKCING FORUM AND GO PRACTICE MARTIAL ARTS.  honestly why are you still here. We all get it, you ruined your height because of your childhood. boo hoo poor you, you poor thing.

You are losing even more than 10 years every second you are in this forum.

Stop playing the victim, either solve your problems or get over it. Be a man and grow some balls, you sound like a teenage girl
