Starting to obsess over my height
22 M. 173cm. I've always been the shorter kid in most of my friend groups growing up and never had a huge growth spurt to speak of, but I spent a lot of my life not knowing or caring about my height. Recently ive been very obsessed my physical insecurities (starting to bald, feeling short) and it's only increasing to a worrying degree. Something or the other keeps reminding me that I'm short, like an instagram reel or conversation with friends. While I don't get any rude comments it's like everyone keeps saying being taller is better, and being short is inadequate. I dont even think I'm extremely short, just below average, I have a loving relationship yet I just feel this inadequacy and feeling bad about it throughout the day. Keep comparing myself to people around me to see where i stand. I tell myself that it doesn't matter or that it won't fix all of my problems but truth is I can't change the fact that I would be perceived better at a height even 5-6cm taller. What I have is still the shorter end of the stick. How do I stop obsessing over this?
