to preface: i'm 5'4" (163cm), subhuman height
a while ago, i held a conversation in a group with 3 other guys and we were all of similar height (5'3"-5'5"), and was able to converse without feeling incredibly emasculated or uncomfortable-
almost like we all subconsciously and immediately recognized the trait we all shared and the hardships that come with living short, despite it not being openly discussed
in the same manner that two black people who cross paths in a predominantly nonblack area are able to silently acknowledge eachother for their skin color and their shared of experience of negatively standing out
this differs from extremely tall people who generally have egos attached to their height and are praised for it, not belittled or discriminated against, so the connection wouldnt be "i see you and feel you" its "damn i wish i was taller than that guy" or something like that, i wouldnt know how tall people feel anyways LOL
if youre on the extreme end of being short, do you also feel the same way in a public setting when you interact with another short guy?
