Yes you absolutely would, and this is okay. We have people on this forum whose parents are 5'9 (father), 5'2 (mother) and they complain that they are 5'6. Endocrinologists would be the first to tell you that a 5'5 or 5'6 boy or girl would not only be completely normal, but expected. It is okay to feel the way you feel, but of course, you don't actually know that your height is the result of that medication. You are speculating. As an example, there are plenty of people who ate poorly during their childhood, yet still grew to be very tall. There are people who take medication for years that have no side effects, yet they don't develop any side effects. Genetics are a crapshoot.

A soft yes to both fears, but it has to be put into context. There are imbeciles who will respect you less no matter what. They could respect you less for being a certain skin color (plenty of those), respect you for having less money (plenty of those), or respect you less for being male (plenty of those). Disrespect against short guys is one of those unprotected things, however you can change who you interact with and what you're wiling to tolerate. As a man, you can also build yourself. This is a key point. If you went to say Law School, graduated and became a respected lawyer who operated his own law firm, then people will respect your expertise, authority and experience. Problem solved. Again, there will be idiots who do not respect you because of your size, but there are people who would feel that way about certain races in their fields, etc. Put it in context.
As for sex. There are 7.8 Billion people in the world in 2020. By that stat, there are 3.8 billion women. Lets take a 1/3 of that away for people who aren't adults. So that leaves 2.6 billion adult women worldwide. Let's be harsh and imagine that 1 out of 10 women would date a guy who is short (it's higher than that, but let's use the harsh number to drive this point). By this imagined measure, then if 9 out 10 women would only date tall men, this would still leave 260 million women who would date short men.
Is 260 million women still too few women for you? There are plenty of 5'5 men who score regularly. Ignore the men here who complain and look for those that DO. Do you work out in your gym? I am not saying that these men can get any woman, but neither can a man who is 6 feet. There are women who will still say no.

Easy fix. Hit the gym and have discipline. I don't know what prices are like in Brazil, but here in New York City, one can go to Planet Fitness for as little as $15 a month. That works out to "R85$" in your money.
You will be okay.
Because people can be jerks, you will need to learn how to develop a thick skin and that will take time, but this is something all men have to learn whether they are 5 feet, 6 feet or 7 feet.
Complaining is considered a feminine trait, which is why you have so many women who run around saying that men act like "bitches". You will get a soft pass here, but remember in the real world, no one owes, you, myself or any person understanding.
