4'10 male and feeling pretty doomed about it
I dont know if ill ever be happy with my height, i just really needed somewhere to get this off my chest. I dont even have dwarfism. I was born at 26 weeks (3 months early) and i got off pretty much completely scott free of any lifelong ailments, but my hormones got jacked up and ill be short for the rest of my life. I dont know if itll be possible to be happy with myself regarding my height. Other than that, id say im confident in my identity, i like my weight, i like how i dress, i like how i look, i think i make good friends, and i have stable relationships. But i just cannot get past my height. I feel like ill never be taken seriously, ill never find a partner, and ill never make it in the adult world. (18 btw, graduating in a few days, then ill be off to college in the fall.) Im terribly, terribly insecure about being short, and i just dont know how to be happy with it. Im told "other queer people love short guys!" (It feels impossible.) And "hey danny devito is 4'11!!" But oh my god WHO said i wanted to look like an old guy. I dont even care about danny devito. I know im far from the shortest dude on this subreddit, but I still just feel awful. Is it actually possible to live a fulfilling life? I know it is but i just. Cant believe mine would be.
Edit: i really cant thank everyone enough for the support, it really means a lot to me. No matter what, ill try my best to be confident about myself, and live as truthfully as i can, no shoe boosters needed! Also i appreciate the people suggesting HGH, but my growth plates have been closed for nearly a decade unfortunately. Again, thank you everyone. I hope anyone else thats around my height can figure it out themselves.
