How did you feel when you knew you stopped growing?

How did you know when you stopped growing and how did you feel about it? Any reality checks, disappointment or resentment? Did you care? Did it have a major impact on you at that point?

As i recall, i stopped growing when i was around the age of 16.
The doctor told me, that i would be aroud the 170cm which never happened and i got a little upset about it. 
 

But honestely i didnt feel much about it untill i reached the age of 19-20.
I never thought that height would be such an important factor in life.

I was depressed for a little while. I remember doing stretches, hanging from bars, looking up height growth pills. Now I am comfortable with my height but hate how society sees it.

I knew I had stopped getting taller only in retrospect.  I was never in height growth competition with anyone, so I didn't really notice when I stopped.  I was always among the shorter kids.  I knew I was shorter than many of my friends, but it seemed to me that height variation was about as important as eye color - little or not at all.  I wasn't disappointed at all.  I'm 5'7" now, and had topped out at 5'8" sometime in my late teens.  I love being just the height I am.  I dated girls in my teens, but that was before I came out.  My height never seems to have been an issue as a gay man, and I'm happily married now.  In other words, no big deal.

When i was in my teens, it dawned on me that all of my friends were suddenly morphing into real men, and that I would be stuck forever in the body of a kid.  I was miserably disappointed with what God had intended for my life.  To me, an entire adult life of being 5'4" was not worth living.  I have lived (59 yrs old now) a very productive life and most people that know me would be bewildered to find out it bothers me.  It still does, but other than this discussion, I never mention it to anyone anymore.  I'll never be comfortable with it, or enjoy it.  I just grit my teeth every day and work around it with God's grace.
