To my fellow short people, I'm sure you all can agree that being short isn't always that bad. You never have to worry about being too tall while wearing heels and you can walk down any basement stairway with no fear of hitting your head on the ceiling. The list could go on and on but sometimes, being short can taunt you for the rest of your life.
1. You Get Mistaken For A Child
2. The Shelves At The Store Have Never Been Taller
No matter what kind of pants, regular, small, or even petite, they will ALWAYS be too long for you. And in leggings, they will bunch at your ankles making you look like you have kankles. Everyone dream!
3. No One Can Ever See You In Crowds
Whether you are walking through the city or in a hallway, everyone's eyes are way above your head, so you spend most of your time dodging bodies and elbows, just to walk to the bathroom, it's like a war zone out there.
4. Your Feet Never Touch The Ground Comfortably
Sitting in chairs, benches, or even at your own desk leaves you with the awkward, leg swinging, but toe touching the ground position. The only way your feet will touch the ground is if you sit on the literal edge of your seat, doesn't sound too comfortable, does it?
5. People Have To Bend Over To Hug You
Hugs are always awkward when you hug someone who is over 5 and a half feet tall, which is not rare at all. Sometimes the head hug isn't that bad, but the second they start to bend down, you know it's over. You feel like their child, EVEN IF THEY'RE YOUNGER THAN YOU.
6. You Are The Ultimate Arm Rest
Since you head is at everyone's shoulder length, that means that your head is automatically an armrest, which is normally followed by a head pat and a "you're so cute!"
7. Every Dress You Buy Makes Your Legs Look Short
For girls, we've all been there when you try on that perfect dress, and when you look in the mirror, it makes your legs like 3 times more stubby than they normally are. A true nightmare.
8. Walking Next To Tall People Is Like Running A Marathon
Walking next to tall people with long legs will leave us feeling out of breath with a lot of sweat. For every one step they take, you've already taken four, and at a moderately fast speed too. People think you're extremely out of shape but in reality, you are just really short.
9. Being Asked If You Like Being Short
Being short really isn't that bad at all, but when someone asks you if you like being short, you can hear the uncertainty in their voice. Which means they think it's a bad thing. But it really isn't. And now, they've gotten inside of your head...
