My Height Neurosis

Edit Post

Hi everyone! I am a short Filipino guy from America. As listed below, my height rn is 168 which is 5'6". The past few months have been pretty rough for me. My height neurosis came a few months ago when I learned that a girl who I really liked was taller than me and liked a guy who was 6'1-2". I started to only think about height. There have been days where I would deadass think about nothing but height and how short I was. Add that to the fact that girls on IG and tiktok say that they would never date anyone below 6 ft and stuff like that. I had never felt more ashamed in myself. The worst part is, I can't even control my height. Some people say that its a miracle that I'm 5'6" despite the fact that my mom is 4'11" and my dad is 5'0-1", but it's really a curse. Short height runs in the family. I had never felt this way before because for a while, people didn't see me as the short asian kid. Because was friends with basketball players, a lot of people in high school saw me not as the short kid, but as the asian kid who likes basketball. And when people would bring up my short stature, I wouldn't care. But ever since I had this crush on this girl (call me simp all you want but I don't like her anymore), I've just felt inferior to everyone else. Even upon discovering this surgery, I still feel defeated because of how expensive it is. Sorry guys. Thanks for listening to my TedTalk. I just wanted to vent out my frustration in a healthy manner. Make fun of me all you want. And yes its funny that my profile pic is Nishinoya.
