Quote from: Taller on November 09, 2014, 10:42:52 PMThanks for your post Uppland. Stockholm is definitely a beautiful city indeed, especially in the evening!

I don't think that we experience any real discrimination at 179CM though. I just feel so far from the height I dreamed of being and often feel small, kind of like what you stated.

Have you talked with your friends or family about your feelings? I eventually did so after years of keeping it in and it proved very therapeutic, morsoe than the dumb psychologist I saw once.

This forum is also a great place to talk about these kinds of feelings relating to height. You're right, sometimes it feels great to get pent up frustrations off your chest and share them with others.


Yeah that was the first thing I did but they were not very understanding. They tried to help me and all but they were convinced I was experiencing a "normal" depression because I was run-down and that it would pass by itself (it hasn't and I doubt it will). They've been very supportive but they keep on telling me I'm perfect the way I am they're big on that kind of stuff.

yeah getting ll at 190 is kinda lame. I just meant everyone should be able to accept themselves and if you need to change something that's okay.

My Dad claimed he was 6'1.5" when he was my age but I kinda doubt it since he's now 5'11". He was realistically 6'0"-6'0.5" and added an inch.

How tall is your mother, since you were predicted to be 6'4?

189-190cm   Survey: Are you naturally shorter than your same-gender parent? Survey: Are you naturally shorter than your same-gender parent? Survey: Are you naturally shorter than your same-gender parent?

Adult height for male = mother height+ father height +13 cm) / 2
