I'm 5"7 1/2 (171.5cm). The title pretty much explains it. I would feel like a man if I was like 177-180cm but 171 just doesn't do it.  I feel like a "boy".. Anyone else feel this way?

I don't really feel like a boy, just like a less worthy man often. When I see taller guys, I think to myself that they have been given such a precious, incredibly valuable gift with their height, a gift they've received for free, for doing nothing, and they often don't even realize how lucky they are. Why have they been given that and I was not? But the situation is not that bad for people 5'7'' and over. You could were 3 cm heels and be 175 in everyday life, just like Tom Hardy or Jason Statham, who are very manly real men.

I agree 100%, I feel like a less worthy man. How tall are you btw?

About 172. My dad is about 178 and he's lived a pretty successful life, so if I could be as tall as him, I'd probably find peace with my height easily.

Yeah because millions of other guys sure feel that way (considering 5'7-5'8 is male world height average) huh? Which is why there are millions of people getting LL right?

So point being, as real as your think yor feelings are, just remember it's all in yor head, and guess what you need (especially considering your comments).

No I agree that it's all in my head. I seen psychologists in the past and none were able to help me, I was open for help but the height neurosis just doesn't go away.
