Hello,

this is my first post here. After reading various topics over the previous weeks i decided to sign up because so far i couldn't find too much info about a question that i got in the back of my head:

Doing LL is tempting for me, not gonna lie, it could basically change something that has been bothering me since puberty i believe (i am not super short btw. - 170cm - but yeah it is bothering me nevertheless).

However, one aspect that i would like your opinion on is the following:
isn't it like "giving in" and doing the surgery kind of like losing a battle, we all fought for our entire lives?
Isn't it "losing", because we finally admit we will never psychologically be able to fully get over our natural given height?

And second related aspect/question: How do you feel when thinking about your parents? Maybe it is just me, i know i am a very sensitive person, but i for one have good relationship to my parents and i somehow feel like disappointing them by not accepting what they made me inherit naturally.

And yes, i am a grown man, just turned 30 recently.
And yes, i am indeed going to therapy in case anybody was wondering. I am just really interested what other LLers (be it pre- or post-surgery) are thinking about those kind of "psychological" topics?

Does anybody here have similar feelings? Or do you not think about such things at all?

The fact that there are those 2 extremely opposing sides inside my head (finally getting rid of the biggest burden vs. finally surrendering and 'losing the game') makes me create this post.  Psychological Aspect - isn't LL the ultimate surrender?
