I am short, how can i keep confidence up?
p.s. i am aware that there are many things ten times worse that i could have and that i am lucky to have my height being the worst of my problems. however, telling myself that i could be worse off doesnt seem to help. any suggestions?
Answer:
KEEP YOUR HEAD UP! no matter what anyone says.
i too, am short and have flaws, but i realized that if i keep my self-esteem high, then i am much taller than those 5'7" & above girls.
plus, i remind myself that people (also boys) will like/love me for my individual characteristics, not necessarily my height & size.
say, try counting how many famous people out of all the legends and great people in history, like scientist, mathematicians, inventors, and celebrities are tall, or short.
because, then you'll see that there are more shorter people, who have accomplished great things, compared to taller people.
heels?
plus,im tallish its good to be short because u can be shorter than guys. :]
Also, i kno u wouldnt wanna be hearing this but when your with people. your the short one,some1 else is the tall one,som1has a big nose,someones fat,someone has acne someone is wearing an ugly outfit.
Stand up straight, shoulders back and think tall. Do this and you will be amazed that people wont even notice how short you are. I,m bald. A problem I rate about as high on the problem list as an unmade bed. Trust me. Nobody cares.
you have to get over that... if no one is treating you differently you are just making your insecurities worse. Take it from me, the smallest girl in my family getting teased by my little cousins and sister who are all taller than me, there are other things you have over people and other traits people are jealous that you have. I just tell myself that my height can be altered by shoes and other methods, but my heart, my laughter, and my good company cannot. Focus on something else... like your humor. Humor is the cure for everything... especially when I fix those taller younger family members into their places...
(one time they were teasing me for being short I asked any one over the height of 5'2 to raise their hands if they had a car and a license... and none of them raised their hands. So I told their tall, lanky, boy shaped a s s e s to shaddap and get in the car before I run them over)
Telling yourself that it could be worse is actually a damaging thing to do, I think I'd stop doing that if I were you. When you tell yourself that, you're also telling yourself (albeit in a subtle way) that your height is a "problem", an "issue", something you should be "ashamed" of. It is only an issue if you let it be one. Not only that, but when you think of some condition or another that you consider 'worse' than being short, you're subconsciously giving yourself permission to look down on people who actually live with such conditions. It's a natural human tendency to think things like that, though, so I'm not dissin' you or anything over it. But many natural human tendencies do more harm than good. ;-)
Acknowledge the reality of your situation, of course - so you need a step ladder to get in & out of the tub and you will probably never defeat Hulk Hogan at wrestling - so what? ;-) Just try to see it as the cards you've been dealt, and play the best hand you can. We all have our bad cards, some are just more visible than others. What you lack in height, someone else lacks in intelligence, and still others lack in bladder control. We're all just here to live, there may be "more comfortable" and "less comfortable", but there is no objective "better" or "worse" when it comes to the human condition.
