My height insecurity is starting to affect me in ways it has never done before
In the past most of my insecurity regarding height had to do with dating, however in a vacuum I didn’t mind being 5’7. If it wasn’t for the dating thing, I would have zero issues with being my height.
Recently though (from maybe last year or so), I’ve come to realise that I started to genuinely hate my height, to the point where I feel like I’m in a flesh prison. There’s nothing I wouldn’t I do if it meant I could become 5’11/6’0+. In my mind, a man can’t be fully attractive at my height or below, I will always be below most tall guys.
It’s gotten to the point where I actively looked into limb lengthening surgery to make myself at least 5’11. To me now, being a short guy feels like a curse I was burdened because both my parents were short. I had no say in it and I’m forced to live with this body (or more specifically height) that I didn’t ask for. In my case, it doesn’t help that I wasn’t that short when I was younger (around 5’6 at 12/13, 5’7 at 27), that amplified the feelings that this height is not what I should be, or meant to be.
