Are you comfortable with your height?

Paint_luver · 06-02-2006, 11:36 AM

I was just thinking about this last week. I was talking to one of my friends who I don't get to see very often, and somehow we got on the subject of height and in particular, being tall. She mentioned how she sometimes felt very out of place being "so tall" at 5'9". I just kind of tried to shrink in my seat, hoping she wouldn't notice that at 5'10 1/2", I'm taller than her! Ever since then, I've felt very tall and out of place.

So, out of curiosity, how tall are you, and are you comfortable with your height?

I'm 5'2, ao i'm really realy short

I love being short, what I don't like is looking like i'm 12 when i'm almost 20!

No, I'm not happy. I'm 5'11" - 6'.

I want to be 6'1"

Yes... after 37 years I am pretty comfortable being 5 foot nuttin' honey....lol...

lol. Wow, what a range! I really have seemed to be paying more attention to height in people lately, and it makes me more and more uncomfortable with my height. All of a sudden, I wish I was petite and cute at 5'0" like my brother's girlfriend. I bet she never had any problems finding a guy who was her height or taller.

I'm 5'6" and I truely love my height. Not "short" but not too "tall" either...

I am 15 and I am 5'6". I LOVE my height... like saylesgirl said its not to short or to tall, just perfect for me. It makes me fell really short though when I stand to my 6'2" almost 6'3" tall boyfriend...lol

riding_reaper · 06-02-2006, 12:24 PM

I'm only 5'2" at 14 but my sister is the same height and pretty much stopped growing around my age so I 'll probably stay around this height. Its a problem though becauseI hate being short and stubby. lol.

Hannah-
Whether you are 4'10 or 6'2..there will always be people taller than you...and those that are shorter. I would love to be a tall, willowy graceful girl...but it was not in the cards....lol... I think you are PERFECT just the way you are...

You never have to ask a perfect stranger to reach up to get you a Coke at the 7-11.... or have 10 pairs of jeans that are curiously all stained on the bottom 4-6 inches from unrolling and dragging in the mud...

And when a tall, dark, and handsome guy asks you out.... you will not need a pair of stilts to kiss him goodnight. You only have one body...love it for all it's worth.... there is nothing more attractive than that.
