Remember that this doesn't happen for any man. Some men will be considered more desirable than others. That's just life.

There is nothing wrong with your height.

Millions of men around the world are 5'5. 

Think about this. There is nothing you can do about your childhood in the present day.

You also can't get back the time you waste worrying about or stressing over why you're 5'5. 

 

The things is, I was not meant to be short, you are talking about men, that are naturally short, I had side effects, I was diagnosed, look It up "iatrogenic cushing's syndrome". I was given treatment for It, I am short because doctors were too stupid to know about side effects of corticosteroids. I bet everyone on this forum is naturally short, due to genetics, which is not my case. My dad is 5"11, come on, I literally had cushing's, which the main effect, is stunted growth, ALL my peers would comment on how my growth was slow, Jesus Christ, I remember ALL of this, and you say I am speculating? Even my doctors confirmed that I lost a few inches.

There is something you can do.  You can go get cosmetic limb lengthening done.  Other than that, you're not going to grow.  Past is the past, but you CAN get 5-6" taller through CLL if that's what you want.

The point is, you are short right now as an adult, so yes, you were "meant to be short". The series of events that lead you to where you are today were a result of genetics, even if not directly tied to your height.

You mean due to deviated septum? There were other nasal drops, with no corticosteroids. The thing that I want to get clear, is that I am not speculating, I am not delusional. I was given treatment for adrenal insufficiency, which directly affected my growth. All of this, confirmed by the doctors, was induced by the corticosteroid nasal medication. I have ALL the papers from that time, man.

Knowing everything short guys have to put up with, How do I feel comfortable in my skin? Looking at my small hands, feet, head, height. How do I feel comfortable knowing everything I Will have to hear from women, ALL due to a disgraceful medication. I am raging.

Everyone in this forum was born to be short. Before I took the medication, I was eye to eye with my peers that attained 5'9 - 5"10. That's just *bleep* unfair. I was robbed and I am not speculating.

I AM NOT NATURALLY SHORT LIKE YOU ALL.

Imagine that you were 5'7 because of a medication. How would you feel?

You have to chill out. In that case, I can blame how my parents "robbed" me of my height but not providing me with an environment where I could grow to what I was meant to be. Others can also claim they were "robbed" due to peer influence in taking growth-stunting drugs or substances. Others can claim they were "robbed" from abuse and malnutrition.

I'm a 5'4-5'5 dude and even now I still have resentment for why I was born from a mother who is 4'11 and a 5'6 dad. Did I ask to be born from short parents? In that sense, I can claim God or fate "robbed" me of having normal parents. You see, the blame game is an endless cycle and everyone on this forum has to deal with their own demons too. Yes, everyone here would have to cope with that demon and do the best they can do in life. 

If you're worried about women not falling infatuated over you, well tough luck most of us feel the same and it's not that bad. There's so much to do in other aspects of life that getting so obsessed with having sex for you, seems to be a mental problem. There's also a life experience that ANYONE can see everyday. An example in the classroom, there's this really dumb dude but he's charismatic so he gets girls. The nerdy dude on the other hand gets smart from knowing his strength lies in his grades and excels in college, etc. and lands a high paying job, which then girls then fall for him. Everyone. has. flaws. 

You're thinking very primitive that you don't want to be in love with a girl, but you just want to be the alpha cave man that has sex with all the girls, and no one realistically does that. No one in the world is some perfect human being. If you're mad that you aren't the perfect sex magnet then I'm afraid you're delusional.

Accept your height as a gift from whatever religion or belief in life you have as a way to be humble and have a rounded personality. I stopped worrying about my height that much and yes I am still insecure and wish to be taller and I thought my height was "robbed" from having one of the world's shortest mothers, but don't obsess. None of us are going to get anywhere with it. If you're friends and family taunt you for your height, surprise them by being totally chill about it, which will make you the "cool guy". Even at parties and someone says you're short just bring up your medical condition and say something like "Oh, God just nerfed me because I was too OP for the world" (I'm 20 so yes I still do use childish words like these unironically. Sue me).

Work on other aspects in life, and yes discrimination will definitely never leave as we live, ultimately it just comes from other people making themselves feel better or, if you're succeeding, one of their own coping mechanisms to bring you down. I'm a dental student right now and a lot of my taller friends and stuff do pick on me for height since I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO GET PICKED ON FOR (maybe my grades now lol - but that's not because of height). I worked hard on my personality so I can talk to literally anyone, I work out enough to not look ugly, I take care of my acne, I am pretty charming just because of my personality (I'm not the ugliest dude, but I'm around a 5-6 out of 10 in appearance) and no one is afraid or disgusted to talk to me. 

Well anyways hope you don't rant after this again.

At first, I felt bad for you.  But now you are starting to sound like a tool.  People on here have offered responses and told you what to do, yet you continue the feminine trait of whining.  You could be 4'10"...would you prefer that height instead?  Go get cosmetic limb lengthening and be done with it.  No man on earth is desired by every woman... you know how ridiculous that sounds to say?  Limb lengthen.  It's your only solution.

You don't have your physical appearance because of steroids, you have short stature because of Cushing's syndrome.  Don't blame the drugs.

Jesus Christ, do you know what is "Iatrogenic cushing's syndrome"? It's induced by a medication, in my case, nasal drops. I had exactly the same appearance as the picture, you misunderstood. The cushing's syndrome was exogenous, induced by the nasal medication I took. Just look It up on Google "Iatrogenic Cushing's Syndrome Nasal Drops". That's my case. I was not meant to be short. Now everytime that I am meeting a girl, well, you know everything short guys have to hear and even be rejected for It. Sorry for being repetitive, but my main concern is about rejection from women. At least, I'm not virgin.
