Inspired by a comment i got on one of my other posts. Where the argument was that short people, and especially men get frequently gaslighted into believing that all our problems exist only in our heads.

And by enlightened i mean the doomer squad that are under the firm belief that being short is a death sentence in everything from romantic relations to just being respected as a human being in general.

What is your endgame here? Like, a lot of you are going around telling people that seeing the world from any other perspective then your own is harmful coping. And that by doing that, we do more damage to the people that otherwise could have "seen the light" and adjusted accordingly. Adjusted how exactly? How would adopting such determinism in any way contribute to something constructive? How is turning bitter, misogynistic, self loathing and defeatist healthy in any sense of the word?

Are you also able to see the other side of that coin? Like how preaching what you do to young insecure men could contribute to them digging themselves even further down into the black pit?

What in the world makes you think you are doing other short guys a service by constantly telling them that their life is "over" because of one factor you consider to absolutely determine ones life? You always say that successful short guys are the rare exception, and that there's always some caveat to them being successful. In other words, you refuse all the evidence that goes against your own world view and hard reject any other way of thinking but your own as cope.

My theory? You just want other people to be equally as miserable as you are, because misery loves company.

Prove me wrong.
