Should I kill myself just because I'm really tall?!


Question: Should I kill myself just because I'm really tall.?
I'm 6'1.5" and I hate being this tall. It makes me depressed. I have a fetish were i want to be shorter than everyone around me. I don't like myself. Is this a justifiable reason to end my life.? If I were to kill myself would I be able to come back as a short guy and be happy like I want to be right now.? It sucks to be a guy who doesn't know what friendship is like. I think that is I were shorter I would be less intimidating and people would have no reason to be afraid of me. I'm very kind, so my huge body kills my chance at gaining acquaintances

I have no friends or family to talk to. I'm 20 years old and I really hate my body. I want to be much shorter. I don't know why people think that being tall is good, because it's not. People are intimidated by you and it makes you feel like a monster. So being much taller than everyone else puts you at a disadvantage. My father is a very good man at 5'5", he's was much better looking person than me. Unfortunately he's dead. He died when I was just 1 year old. I hate leaving the house and being around people because I know I will be taller than all of them. So I just stay in the house away from people, away from the negative comments that come from being a giant. As I see are people that are much shorter than me. I KNOW I'm far from being normal. I think the average height for a man in the United States is like 5'3 and 4'10" for a women. That's what my observations have been. I live in Colorado, in a town with 400 people. Man, I'm taller than all of them! I HATE IT!!!!!!

Why are people much shorter than 6'1.5" anyway.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
You can't do anything to shrink your height, so why not use it, like with male modeling and meet people and make a ton of money.?

And women like tall men you know.

This sounds deeper though. Like body image distortion. Yes you are tall, but you are seeing yourself as a freak and intimidating, and that isn't how 99.9% of other people see you at all.

ever watch "Little people big world".? It's about a dwarf family. now I'm not lecturing you. but if you watch the show, you will see what confidence they have! You don't see that they are shorter than most other people..you see confidence, and the same ups and downs as everyone else has. it's all how we feel about ourselves, that projects onto other people and influences how they think of us.

Jason is right, i'm female and i feel safe with a tall man, I'm 5'5" and even though i'm female I want to be an inch or two taller and plenty of my girlfriends are around my height or 5'6" and 5'7".

explore your world, visit places you want to see, visit big cities in california, visit hawaii, visit the east coast. no one will look at you any differently.Health Question & Answer

What are you talking about,girls love tall guys..Health Question & Answer

I'm afraid that if you were shorter, you would still be as unhappy as you are now. I think you are making your height the scapegoat for all of your problems with yourself. I'm sure you're a very lovely (and lovely-looking) person, just insecure and blaming it on your height. I'm short, and I used to absolutely hate it, but now I'm fine with it. I like it. It's me.Health Question & Answer

Listen dude. Your not that tall. Average height is about 5'8-510 in the US. Besides I know a lot of people who would do anything to be as tall as you. also if you dont want to be taller than everyone move out to a bigger city. I'm 15 and about 5'10. At school i fell like a midget because i'm maybe a little taller than average. All my friends are from 6'0 to 6'4. There is about 50-75 freshmen 6'0 and up. Anyways in years to come it is proven the average height will increase to about your height. Lastly as you get older you will shrink. Just don't do anything stupid. God made you this way for reason now go find it.Health Question & Answer

The grass is always greener on the other side. I am 5'8" and would love to be 6'+. People associate size with power and achievement.
There was a psych study that had a man present to classes of psych students. One class was told that the presenter had a bachelor's degree, another was told he had a master's, the third was told he had a Ph.D. After his presentation, the students had to fill out a questionnaire about the presenter and one of the questions was "how tall was he". When they thought he had a bachelor's they thought he was 5'9", master was 5'11", and Ph.D was over 6 feet.

Plus a lot of women like bigger men, it makes them feel safe. There is no changing how you have been made, so you have to accept it. There are challenges for every body and every body type. God made you tall and that's how you're supposed to be this time around.Health Question & Answer

The grass is always greener on the other side, isn't it.? Everyone always wishes they were taller or shorter, thinner, more buffed, had straighter teeth, or curlier hair. The reality is, though, that you can't change your height. Be happy with your height. I'd give anything to be a couple of inches taller!

You probably think they're crazy, but there are tons of men who wish they were taller. Believe it or not, women are more attracted to taller men.

People come in all shapes and sizes. I know adults who are 6'4'' and 4'11''. Both are wonderful people, and I don't really even think about their height.

I doubt your height has any real cause in you not having any friends. How do you act when you're in public.? Do you purposely avoid people because your afraid of what they'll think of you.? Do you hunch your shoulders, look at the ground, and mumble.? Stand up straight, speak in a clear voice, smile, and get out there and meet people!

Stop using your height as an excuse for being alone.Health Question & Answer

I understand where you're coming from. I'm short, I'm only 5'6, and I used to hate my body. But honestly you just have to get comfortable in your skin. Don't view yourself in a negative light. You're not a monster of a freak, and if people are making insensitive comments then laugh it off. Don't feed into negativety of any kind, it will just eat away at you. Learn to love yourself. And 6'1 isn't that tall. My cousin is 6'2, most of the people I know are at least 6'0. There's nothing freakish about your height. I used to work with a guy that was like 6'5. It won't happen overnight, but learn to love you, and everything will be alright.Health Question & Answer

Actually lots of men are 6 foot and up to about 6 foot 4.

Being tall doesn't make you intimidating. Having muscles or being fat (and tall) does. No one is scared of a skinny tall bloke.

You will like your height when you grow up. (edit : okay lol I didn't realise I made a pun. You get my point though) It has no bearing on getting friends. If anything it will help you get them.

Join a basketball team.

You do not have a fetish either. Look up the meaning of that word. You simply wish to be smaller, because you have low self esteem, and for some weird illogical reason...decided to blame all your problems on your height.Health Question & Answer

I wouldn't worry about your height, your not too tall, yeah, people where you live might be shorter than you, but I wouldn't worry about the height issue, you shouldn't kill yourself over it, I'm 5'5 and wish I could be taller, listen you have a friend in california, hit me up sometime, jamesharoldmills at yahoo, or www.mjamesmills.comHealth Question & Answer

I cant say I know what its like, but I can tell you about my counselor. He's around your height, and has always been very uncomfortable with his looks. He tells me this because Im uncomfortable with my looks too, I think everyone is, but he is my hero. I don't care about his height in the least. It doesn't make a person who they are. He's helped me overcome so much. So its maybe understandable that you hate your looks so much that you want to die, but death on the other hand is permanent, and you have other options. You cant change how tall you are, but you can be the kind, sweet, great guy that you are, and have people accept you that way. You realize, that my counselor got made fun of soo much when he was your age, and he covered it all up with alcohol and now, hes married with a great job, and he couldnt be happier. So dont give up sweetie. I wish you the best!!Health Question & Answer
