Hypothetical question:

X will commit suicide without LL. X is not suddenly depressed or emotional. X has thought it out and realized that he hates himself for his height. X rationalizes that nothing improve by looking at how other shorter persons in his family have fared and still struggle with height issues. X realizes it is not right to have children and be an insecure father/ husband.

X is positive it is his 60℅ of his problems. The rest he is ready to suck up and live. X can try out LL but it will set him back emotionally and career wise for about a year. X is not sure if he can tolerate that. X will also not be able to tolerate inability to walk normally, do basic athletic stuff after recovery. If this doesn't go well X will lose friends also. X is worried that committing suicide might be hard for someone disabled. Even if everything goes well, X is worried how he will hide it from everyone.

X is generally a happy, social person except for this dark corner in his mind. Is LL an option for X?

Hey  everyone chill out.

My questions are very valid. Just because it's something that takes your mind away from your dream LL expectations, does not mean the same for everyone . be realistic.

if you guys can not live happily being short how can you be happy being disabled if something goes wrong? What is your plan if that happens???

most people here might have some social issues, dating issues, and esteem issues. how the f can you live happily if each of these things deteriorate after LL ? I don't understand what the ideal mind set of someone to under go LL should be.

I do not understand how crimsontide will be OK with a lower amputated when he couldn't be OK with being a little shorter
