I seriously need your help, I am so tired of living like this
Hey everyone
I'm 5'5 and 21M. I am so, so, so, so incredibly, debilitatingly insecure about my height. I am probably the shortest guy on my college campus. I never see guys my height or smaller. All of the men are quite a bit taller. Because of social media and some negative in-person interactions, I have become extremely insecure about myself and feel like I am always being judged for my stature. It is an awful feeling to walk around and feel completely uncomfortable with myself. I feel like the people around me see me as a child and don't take me seriously. As a result, whenever I am socializing and it seems like I am being treated poorly, I automatically assume it is because of my height (or some other aspect of my appearance but mainly my height) and feel awful for the rest of the day. Some days I feel alright, but others days I feel like garbage. And it really depends on the way other people treat me, which seems to vary day to day.
I just don't know how to move forward and overcome this, as this has been my MO for what feels like forever. I cannot even imagine being secure with myself. Anyone who was in a similar boat that managed to climb out?
