What are things that you hate that come with your height? For example I'll go first today I made a joke and told a girl my name is "Big Daddy" she replied you are not a big daddy you are a short little daddy. I wa taken back and it really put things in perspective for me.

Don't put yourself in positions like that (where people can fire back at your biggest insecurities). I know you didn't intend to, but it's good to keep in mind.
Thank goodness I don't live in the US, though. You're 5'7, using lifts, and getting called short, little? Fxck that person, to be honest.

Its because where I work everyone is 6'ft or taller.This is why If I ever have a kid I wouldn't want them to go through the whole "heightism" thing. I know I'm probably not getting it as bad as other people on here get it though..
People telling me I'm short as if they just discovered a new continent. Yeah, thanks, I know.
Something I really hate is when people say that one of the most attractive things in a man is his height. fk that.
I hate how people say that us shorter guys who work out, or have a nice car, etc are compensating for our height. In fact a lot of the height comments I get are actually from other guys at the gym who are typically in worse shape than me, so they love to point out that at least they are taller.

Ah, yes. The double standards.
I hate that I tried to overcompensate for my height by putting on a very fierce exterior when I was young (little man syndrome?). When I was bullied at school, it finally stopped when one day I made a bully, who was a whole head taller than me, run to the boys toilets crying. From then on, in school at least, I gained a bit of a reputation and people started being nicer to me, so I continued to put on the fierce and feisty facade(previously I was a total nerd.)
I do feel that this shaped my life and if I was confident enough just to be myself when I was younger things would have been a lot different, but there’s no point in dwelling on the past and all I can do now is be as “me” as I can....

Some people are always looking to find something to criticise when they see someone that's doing better. If you have a better car, income, etc then they'll look towards your physical side to pick on. If your facial aesthetic but slightly short then 100% of their criticisms will be about your height. It makes them feel better, but at the same time remember that only SOME people do it and that not everyone is out to get you.
