Height is really such a weird thing to be insecure about and while I’m learning to love my own height, being the tall friend can be hard sometimes. Here are 5 struggles of being tall...
1. When you’re a literal giant next to your friends
Taking group photos that look good can be awkward because you’re either towering over everyone or doing a weird half knee bend/sorority squat.
2. Most dresses are really waaay too short
When all of your friends are sharing dresses that are actually shirts on you and you’re just over there like…
3. And you don’t even consider yourself to be that tall
5’7” (and a half on good days) isn’t crazy tall but it also kind of is and once you add heels it all goes down the drain
4. That feeling when you can’t reach something
It’s actually kind of disappointing when a stranger in the store or your roommate can’t reach something on the top shelf and they ask you to and you can’t either—I kind of feel like I’m letting that person down.
5. Even online shopping can be super tricky
More often than not, I have to try clothing on before I buy it and so online shopping can be annoying because most pants are too short.
Even though it can be a struggle to be whatever height you are, it's important to remember the good parts about it!...like being able to reach the top of your closet and not drowning in maxi dresses!
