Is this forum really full of mentally freaks?

Edit Post

Hey guys, it came to my wondering that probably there was a chance of some of us being mentally ill and insane... well actually it came to mind when I saw this guy "123" calling some pals crazy or generalizing that there were some mentally ill people out here.
 
My main concern is, are some of us really that crazy? I don't want to generalize, I actually want someone to share experiences with some of the guys over here and/or proved data that there are some really crazy dudes with us lol. Repeat, I don't want to hurt anyone I am just wondering this, and probably this way we could also help some of our friends (I personally suffer from Major Depressive Disorder and OCD so disorders and mental problems aren't something of a big deal for me).

I think it's a guarantee that any internet forum will be visited by people who are a little off.

"Is this forum really full of mentally freaks?" 

I don't think that this forum is "full" of mentally ill people, But there might be 1 or 2 people (other than you) that aren't mentally stable. I don't consider height neurosis to be an mental illness, It's something that short people experience sooner or later and it goes away in most cases as you learn to accept you'r height.

I also believe thet height neurosis is not a mental "illness" as it's based on scientifically backed real-world realities based on society responses, but it's definitely a terrible mental condition to be in (as I've been there myself). I usually look at extensive proportions discussions as possible BDD. Because frankly, after LL, people don't realize anything wrong about your proportions.  Long legs usually look a lot better actually. So if a person says "I only want to lengthen 3 cm's", I respect that, but I honestly feel that person is possibly a weirdo. And then there are the ratio discussions. Knee to hip percentage, femurs to leg total percantage, golden ratio, yada yada yada. It's funny (and sad at the same time). As a patient I always had a simple approach. Taller = Better.

I realized that my post came right after 680's post, and I read the "proportions Nazi" description below his nickname and laughed. It's a coincidence that I posted after you bro, please don't take it personally haha.

Oh and there's the "I lost respect for all women" thread on the old forum. It's a madhouse I'm tellin' ya.

No problem, I respect your approach. Most people won't notice you'r proportions if you stick to a safe amount of LL, However i don't really care how people perceive my proportions and height, I don't want to look disproportionate to myself, That's why i care so much about proportions. My problem is with myself and my self-image, I don't want to do LL to get a larger dating pool or have the other "advantages" that come with greater height.

I respect your approach too    You're already above average height in the US though, which is likely to make you a great LL candidate (proportion-wise). The taller you already are, the length you add will have a lesser effect on your total height percenage wise. Unless you have a very short upper body, you should be safe. It all depends on the person at the end. I was shorter than you to begin with at 5'5, but my legs were extremely short compared to my upper body. I never bothered to measure anything since it was very obvious to me in front of the mirror. My proportions are actually better now, I look more natural, and I could still handle a second LL (although I really don't need to do it). You have an analytic approach, you calculate a lot of things, which could be very useful in many other areas of life.

Charming mate.

Anyway I spoke with a member (can't remember his name) who was schizophrenic which is a quite serious personality disorder. Other than that I think being short does take a toll on a man eventually.
