How do you keep confidence?
post #1

I know people say you have to accept your height and be confident with it but I can't seem to feel good all the time about it, specially when I get looks or comments made at it.

I can't honestly say when it happens, but forever one, it comes to a point where you just don't care anymore and no one's words effect you. I reached that point a year ago.

I am still working on it myself, not so much with the world but with in my own family. I am with them for life so I have to get over it.

It takes work but you will reach a point where it doesn't bother you anymore. It may take meeting the right woman or landing the right job, or just waking up one day feeling great to be you.

I am still in the process myself but I must say, it has gotten easier. Since I am a commited man, I feel less pressure with women and lets be honest, that is the biggest struggle of being a shorter man.

I hope to get there myself one day. I think most women reach that point in their 30's or 40's but I am not too sure about us men haha. I have seen men have self esteem issues their whole life over height.

That has to be hard. I can't imagine dealing with teasing in my own family.

Not really. My biggest struggle has been getting things from high places, such as the top cabinet. 

haha I know right. Nothing is more embarassing than asking a taller man to reach something for you in the store.

I had to ask someone to get something down for me once. I thought nothing of it cause it was like 10 feet up on a shelf. My wife, on the other hand who is 5'4 has been known to climb shelves before she would ask for help. lmao
