i have felt very depressed about my height. i am a height where 19 of 20 every guys are taller than me and 1 of 2 girls are taller than me. i have two options in life:
1) get LL and grow 2-2.5 inch
2) accept to be "unhappy". after all not everyone can be happy i suppose 
i will probably not wantt to have children/wife. short father/husband is ok, but insecure father/husband is NOT ok. it is unfair whoever i will create/marry if i am insecure (but being short is ok).
also, i don't have any motivation to do anything in particular in life. i don't really have interest in helping others,being a philanthropist,being an entrepreneur. i feel no matter what i do in life, i will never be able to feel ok to stand bare-footed in a room full of people.
recently i have started following approach 2) and everything seems light and smooth for me. the difference is very interesting:
- when i was 100% sure of LL, i used to be excited and extroverted. i would have huge ups (work success, socialization) and downs(walking in the cafeteria, shorter than sooo many women ). now that i have slowly considered 2), i am withdrawn from everything and live like a monk, don't meet people much. people have asked me what is wrong with me. i don't have many ups and downs.
in the long run i think 2) might be bad. i will be lonely/unexcited with little career success.
the only option is to gain 2 inches in height (any more is risky,and will affect other acceptable parts of my life like money, friends, being not disabled, etc.) but i sometimes wonder if 2 inches is much at all. i see random school kids still far away from puberty towering over me. people who will be my post-LL height (5 feet 6) are ashamed of their height.
is it worth drowning myself in an emotional rollercoast, one where i expect to feel "tall" but will only feel slightly less of a "midget" ?
sorry, if this was not pleasant to read. neither is my mind right now
Quote from: Thatdude950 on March 05, 2016, 04:43:57 PMThe surgery isn't for you. If you feel happy when it's a possibility, then unhappy when you forget about it, you're using it as a coping mechanism. When the surgery is done and you realise nothing has changed you'll go back into monk mode. Then to get back that sense of hope you'll convince yourself that more surgery is needed, and *then* you'll be happy. And repeat. That's not a path you wanna go down.
but its not like i complain seriously about anything else in life. ever since i was a teenager i have strongly felt my short stature. this disgusting feeling while standing barefooted among other people started after i finished growing and my peers finished growing.
my height is the single most important thing i want to change. period. there might be feelings of "not enough" after LL, but there will certainly be genuine satisfaction at some point of increase (i bet < 4 inches).
i sometimes feel very good for an extended period of time when someone i thought was much taller seems close to my height.
i have a friend who "expands" like crazy during sleep. i literally avoid walking near him when he wakes up from sleep because it puts me down.
if i could pay money and simply buy height,i wouldn't even have asked this questino. but getting this will set me back in so many ways in life. at the end, if i just feel like i am standing on slight platform, i wonder if it is worth having so much expectations.

Try this exercise: On Monday morning ''trick'' your mind into believing that you already did LL and see how you get on with your life . It may make wonders!
but i wont be taller, how do i trick my mind?
