This is true. My younger brother is also 5'8. But he has long legs. He looks much taller than me. This is also because of his high hairstyle while i keep my hair flat

No, tall people and particularly very tall have big heads
but there is exception like Mutara III

It's mostly to do with upper body to lower body ratio and shoulder breadth. People with higher lower body to upper body ratio appear to look taller. Similarly, people with more breadth appear took shorter than people with less breadth in spite of the same height and upper to lower body ratios.

I'm 5'8 and I live in a country with an average height of 6 foot (Holland) but people always think I'm 5'10
