At least for me if not doing 16cm in total then my height neurosis wiill never disappear and that's why rn I am convinced that Ebola Virus infection is better than being short.

You really can't know until you're 16 cm taller. I stood on a 6 inch platform at the gym just to see how tall I'd be, and I felt like a fking giant towering over everyone.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Some things in life you have to go through to truly appreciate. Breaking your legs and getting the taller is the only way to know.
Mental masturbation only wastes your precious time.

So if the doctor stops you at 10 cm to avoid letting you become crippled and get guilty for that, you commit suicide?
Your dysphoria is so severe that you probably will never get satisfied with your height, you will always feel unsecure and deeply lack self esteem. You need continuous counselling and most probably also medication at least for some time, such as tranquilizers, antipsicotics or antidepressants. You're getting out of reality zone with that non negotiable objective of 16 cm. It will be even worse if you want to emmigrate to the US, as the average height there is higher than in your country.  You're making your own recipe for your own disaster. Get somebody's help, fast!

But I am curious if there has already been such cases that after LL someone is suffering from height neurosis more severely cuz he/she finds still shorter than a lot of people and that's already post-LL height so he/she is feeling the unfairnesses more deeply.
It's probably your own case.

Yeah, exactly. It's also a matter of perspective. Someone who works their way up from a Central American village to a 2000 square foot house in the suburbs is going to feel like they're the richest person on Earth. Someone who starts with the latter and moves into the upper middle class, on the other hand, is going to feel well off--but not rich.
