I’m a short guy and I really really hate it. At its worst I resorted to self harm. I really trying to get past the insecurity, I’ve deleted all social media where’s there’s constant hate, but even in real life, whenever I feel even slightly good about myself someone will bring it up in a negative light. These are good people too, like my mom saying I’m short so she doesn’t expect me to have a gf, or my friend randomly bringing up that “one day I think a girl will look past your height, you’re a cool dude” despite me not saying jackshit about my height or looking for a gf to her. Every time I try to escape my insecurities it’s just shoved in my face. I don’t know what to do.

It’s fine not to be attracted to someone for this reason or that reason, but genuinely anywhere I go online if a woman speaks negatively about a man height is gonna get brought up. “Oh ragebait men by calling them short”, “ofc he’s tall he’s so nice”, “my bully was short he’s the real loser in life”. At best if you’re a good person you’ll be seen as a little gremlin sidekick and if they dislike you they’ll tell you just how subhuman you are. Pray for leg lengthening.
