For the girls out there who are short, or consider themselves short, you are not alone. Throughout your life, you've experienced so many things short females have to go through. I know this because I myself am that short girl. It is not easy being short; you are constantly going through challenges that make you feel more insecure about yourself. Not a day goes by where you don't wish you were tall and had the legs of a model, or wishing you would hit another growth spurt.
When it comes to opening cabinets, or reaching things that are above you, the struggle is very real. You are constantly on the tip of your toes just to grab something that is out of reach. A step stool is your best friend for life. When there is no one around to help you get that one thing on the top shelf, a step stool is the next best thing.
No matter how many times you go out with family or friends, you get mistaken as a child. This is one of the mot annoying things a short girl can go through. You might be older than a sibling but they are taller than you, you automatically get labeled as a child. Restaurants tend to become the worst places to go through because this happens way too often to you.
I cannot tell you how many times I have been the last person when walking with a group of friends. Another disadvantage of being short is not being able to walk fast. Your legs can only take you so far when you are short which is also very frustrating.
Heels become your best friend. Wearing heels give you the confidence you're are lacking when you are short. For once, you get to experience what it feels like to be tall for a few hours 'til your feet start hurting then you have to take the heels off.
You will never know what it is like to look down at people because your are constantly looking up to other people. Maybe you can get lucky and meet someone who is shorter than you are, but today that is very unlikely.
People are constantly taking aim at you because you are short. Getting lost in a crowd is one of your biggest fears. You are short therefore, it will definitely be hard to find you in a crowd of tall people or a crowd in general.
As a short girl, you will always wish you were taller. Being short gets added to your list of insecurites. We all have flaws about ourselves that we do not like, but that's how life works. Every now and then I get annoyed with my height, but I am slowly learning to accept the way I am. That is something all the short girls or guys out in the world should do. Do not let your insecurities ruin your life because it can make you miserable and no one likes to be miserable.
