So I had been a relatively chilled person growing up, until 16 when this guy had threatened me with a video of me (not going to get into that, its long).

But this had truly bothered me for 8 months straight. I cried, was under chronic stress ruminating about the impact of this video. My sleep was not the best either.

However, I had a good 4 months and bit off stress in summer and forgot about it - only fixating on exams and stuff etc.

But now, in present time, I have been suffering again for just under 3 months on the same thought of this video. On the other hand, notably I have had some relief in between this period but stressful for most. Such as real panic attacks, anxiety, fretting about impending doom etc. Also, due to school pressures!

For reference, my Dad is 171cm and my mother 172cm and I am 178.8 (JUST UNDER 179)!

Has it really fucked me and stunted growth - what does the science say?

You are taller than your mom and dad by 7cm probably didn't impact you much

It can definitely stunt growth, but its more like extreme stress that causes this kinda shit like child abuse, molestation, extreme bullying, poverty in the home etc that does this shit

From what I've seen from talking to you, you likely didn't face any of this so it's most likely just like genetic lottery shit, based on ur parents height u should be like 6"1

6’1 WOW, not sure if I could compare to what you are stating. I did feel deep insecurity as if this video would fuck up my life 24/7.

Or is it not that extreme?

I don't think it would have affected you too much

Regardless it's pointless to think about how it may or may not have fucked you up

Try to optimise your sleep and stress management now

Two very constrasting arguments made her.

It made me lose 1 or 2 inches or its about sleep which one?
nah ur misunderstanding. IF it even affected anything, it affected 1 to 2 inches MAX. plus sleep is cope i know ngas who sleep 4 hrs a day and they r 6 foot+. its all about genes js blast hgh or dont even try. that stress isnt gonna affect ur height a significant amount. so at the end of the day, all im trying to say is double digits hgh + ai

Actually I think i might have been wrong cus for a male you usually add ur parents height, then you add 13 cm and divide the total by two which for you gives around 178cm, so I think ur dad's height might have cucked you
