Basically when I was 16 years old I wanted to be taller so bad for basketball that I went to another country to get hgh as my growth plates in my hand was still slightly opened. Took it didn’t grow and inch and I believe to this day that it made my lower jaw grow. So my appreciate worsened and I still wasn’t much taller. And so about one to two years later after taking hgh I noticed that my little jaw was slightly ahead of my upper, so I went to an orthodontist and they told me I needed upper jaw surgery to move it forward. And during this time it made me very upset as I didn’t grow and only made my jaw grow. Got the surgery and looked better but still it pains me I’m not taller at all. Feel like my jaw is too big for my body and like I’m supposed to be taller. Ever since about a year after not growing from the hgh I have been much much less social to this day, I avoid family events going outside, pretty much stay at home all the time with family. It feels like my life can’t move on unless I get this surgery or else I’m gonna just keep staying home till I’m old and I really don’t want that for myself. I want to live my life but my height pains me and it sucks cause I’m taller than average but I’m uncomfortable with it big time. Never was I ever self conscious about my height until after the hgh didn’t work, it pains me everyday that I’m wasting my life cause of this little thing. I wear lifts and cushioned shoes but that just gives me low back pain which isn’t worth it, so since I stopped wearing them I stopped going outside as well. Would wanting to go from 5’10 to 6’2 be a stretch?

Do you think dating wise and socially going from 5’10 to 6’2 would be a massive difference in treatment?
