Whether you're under five foot or simply under the average height considered for your family, short women everywhere undergo the same struggles as you everyday. You are not alone.
1. The first thing people often say when they meet you is often, “Wow, you’re so small!”

As if I was not already aware of this for essentially the entirety of my existence. Such observance.
2. People always think you’re so much younger than what you are.

Whether its getting confused as the younger sibling or getting asked if you've lost your mother when shopping by yourself, people always promise that you'll "appreciate that when you're older". As if!
3. Adult clothing simply doesn't fit.

Your business casual clothing comes from the GAP, so what? Your credit card sure isn't complaining.
4. Taking pictures with your tall friends is an absolute nightmare.

You don't want to look too short and they don't want to look too tall. Lose lose situation for everyone involved.
5. People often feel the need to pick you up – especially in hugs.

Is this supposed to prove your strength? Is this just how you hug people? What's going on here? Also please put me down, I'm afraid of heights.
6. Chairs. Just. Chairs.

Your feet never reach the ground and you have to do everything in your power to keep them from swinging to avoid looking like an "all-too-excited child". Plus, what's the point in sitting in a rolling chair when you can't reach the ground to spin yourself around in it.
7. It’s almost as if tall people enjoy watching you struggle with reaching things on the top shelf.

Yeah, just sit there and laugh, let me go get my PORTABLE STEP STOOL.
You spend a lot of time staring at the back of people's heads.

Movie theaters, concerts, parades, sport games...you name it!
9. The amount of times people have decided that your head is the perfect height is ridiculous.

Ouch?
And of course, the endless amount of jokes.

Is this allowed?
Though #ShortGirlProblems are incredibly real no one can deny that "good things come in small packages."

Yes, we are the equivalent of a 24 karat diamond ring.
