I dont mean relative to people, I specifically mean your body proportions relative to daily life occurrences (driving, cooking, reaching for things etc.), and more importantly when your alone, do you really feel short?

Iam 5'8 with a 6'1 wingspan, I don't feel short at all, I actually feel pretty tall too, but that could be because I have a relatively long torso and average legs

My only issue is clothes dont fit me well, I have to tailor them after, especially jeans and chinos, but that's about it
I feel really small compared to the people around me when I go downtown, even though I'm the second tallest in my family. :feelswhy:

I'm still young, and I hope I grow.

I can't really help you with that, iam muslim myself, but having a basic belief in god helps you mentally alot, believing that things happen for a reason helps you accept bad situations and move forward with your life

How is that possible? what makes you feel like that?

I stuffed a bunch of socks in one of my shoes just to see how big of a difference 6ft was compared to 5'8. felt like a fucking giant

well there will always be people taller than you, but for the most part you should be taller than 60% of people you see daily, including the majority of woman you see

yeah that doesn't help LMAO, my country is pretty mixed, we have alot of tall people and alot of short people, so I dont really feel short, unless iam in a room where everyone is taller than me, that doesn't happen often

exactly

Ngl after stuffing my shoes with socks and seeing how big of a difference 4 inches is, I started considering LL :feelshah:

I even wear slip ons everyday to college, anytime I wear my boots height doesn't become a concern for me

me too bro, but idk i dont think its worth looking like a frog. If my span was 6'3 id 100% comsider it. In your case 5'8 with 6'1 span is godly bro, go get that drilled femur bro:soy::soy:
 
At 5'9 yes

Not really to be honest. Most people at my gym are +1/-1 my height. Heightpill is a normie pill as most normies can only comprehend the BP at most with it, as they go to social events and functions and notice themselves getting height mogged
 
Yes I'm 5'9 its extreme manlet tier

I'm around 5'9 I feel extremely short. I've tried coping w the fact that it's apparently the average height but that's bullshit I hardly know any guys that are shorter than me
 
I do sometimes idk why, when I see a 5,11 or sum I feel short as I’m used to look down but for them I gotta look almost straight
