In short you're r...Oh boy, this is a tough one. In short you're right, it shouldn't matter but we do live in the real world.<br /> I for one have never had issues with my height. I'm 1.85 and well yes, I like the fact that I'm tall because my parents are about 10 cm shorter so it's progress in my family I guess :). It's also nice to be tall, my mother always asks me to get things from the top shelves and I can change light bulbs just by raising my hands up to them. <br /> That being said my best friend is short too and I've never had a problem with that even though we do look weird. We were a funny pair I guess because I was tall and well ... fat :) while he was short and skinny.<br /> You can't change your height though, the things you can do something about are your weight if we're talking about physical stuff and how you are as a person.<br /> Unfortunately people do tend to judge by physical appearance and that includes heigh. I try not to but it doesn't always work for me either. What I can say with all honesty is that I do try. I don't really know if I'd go out with someone who's 1.50 because it would make me feel awkward, and there are also real problems in that I can't even some people who are short sometimes :D. Still if he/she are very nice and special people like my best friend is than I don't really care about their height. I've never really liked someone just because they were tall though.<br /> Then there's the real world, the world in which we live in. I have a colleague at work who's tall, and by tall I mean very tall, especially for a girl. I don't know her exact height but I think it's something like 1.90. She's about as tall as I am but maybe a bit taller. I never dared ask her because it might hurt her feelings and it doesn't really matter that much. From what I could tell she's a nice person , though I can't say I know her too well. But the guys at work dismiss her just because she's tall. I remember there was some talk about girls in the office ( well boys will be boys :) ) and they just dismissed her, oh she's too tall, she's taller than us... next. Shouldn't you take the time to know a person first before or something ... Unfortunately though I think it also makes her uncomfortable and mybe insecure too, even though she doesn't show it.<br /> When people are different in any way society and the majority of people tend to push them aside for not belonging to the main group. I remember being fat when I was small and always feeling out of place and being made to feel out of place. Being very smart also makes you a geek and you're pushed aside ... So does being too tall/ too short. Some people like your friend try to rebell against this and wear high heals while others just try to handle it as best they can. Deep inside though I think that all people who are different know this and maybe feel insecure.Purple Penguin's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01874463408697722820noreply@blogger.com
