SHORT STATURE AFFECTS CHARACTER

Edit Post

In my opinion short stature is able to build up your character in 2 main different ways: a) The funny guy: because you can't defend easily the heightism you recieve you try to be funny so that people focus more on your sense of humour and how well you communicate in a bunch of people rather than your height b) the strict guy: Defending yourself by being straitforward, having power in your hand and only flexible with the close friends.

It should be admired that there are also people who don't care about their height, and others who have so much wealth and power that even taller guys feel inferior to them.Any thoughts?

I know, cause they feel that a tall person is a cool person, so you should laugh with what they say, cause it should be geniuinely funny.

the only times i would laugh at a joke that wasn't funny is if i felt pity towards the person making it (like if a person really tries to make you laugh sometimes it might feel rude to not laugh a little at least), so i would chuckle a bit just to give them some form of affirmation.

Anyway so what was this topic about again? lol

How some inches can transform a person....For example you...you were shorter than most of your friends and now equal or taller to the most, you cannot be called short, and I think it should feel really good And about how short stature affects us...

for the first time ever i feel like i can behave like the person i always felt i was, and even though some people might have gotten used to my old passive and easy going persona, i think with the new height they will subconsciously start to feel a bit threatened by me and my presence, so the new more dominant persona will just be icing on the cake.

Of course this is specifically talking about the "friends" who had an superior attitude towards me before, most of my real friends wont care, since they never disrespected me before. And when im with them i will probably not act much differently, but i will feel more like one of them and not the short sidekick.

Yeap that's it, and when they call you with little names like from Jim,Jimmy, it hurts..

Usually its not anything explicit they say towards you, more like the body language and the negligence about you, like these people often interrupt you sometimes or ignore you when you say something to them and instead starts talking with someone else, they rarely even look towards you and when they do they usually look at you sideways and with squinty or tired eyes.

This only happens to me in group settings, these same dudes might talk to me later when there is no one else taking part of the convo, so in that situation i cant really treat them the same way because then it would seem like i was pissed/angry or something, i mean you cant really ignore someone talking to you if there is no one else there, it would be weird. 

I really should sell my property that I am planning on doing for getting money for LL, college, invenstments, my father and I do our best to sell it, it would give my family ~300k so I will have 100k on my own...there is no other way to do CLL asap
