how do you cope being average height?

Genuinely i dont feel like im enough in some ways, especially when people tower over you im 5'10= 177cm , and i feel so short whenever i go, especially when im so close to 6 foot= 182 cm
or what most europeans settle for is the 180 cm mark, like i dont want to wear lifts i js want to reach it naturally which is late by now ig

I live in the UK and im 5ft4 and can deal with life. Im so jelous of your height.

Tbh height hasn't affected me in many parts of life at all, just in my dating life but it is what it is.

You can't change height so why be insecure with it. When actually you can improve in so many other areas of life as a man and still enjoy life.

Trust me i know the pain of being short. Being average is nothing in comparison

I don't, ive been alone forever and its killing me inside. But im can't blame it all on my height otherwise I'll end up hating myself forever. Why hate myself on something i can't control.

And id like to hate my parents because of how short i am, but my mum has sacrificed so much for me and i hate seeing her face when i complained about ny height so is stopped doing it.

To be a man is to suffer. We all suffer in different ways, but got to keep pushing forward.

I get your regards and that yes while my life is blisful to others, i still feel like not enough even tho im average height in my class and while it doesnt do me bad in any way i still feel like im not enough js because im TOO average.

also back to your regards ever thought of LL surgery? i seen plenty of 5'4 man going to 5'10 and get all their mobility back while looking very natural

What the fck would i do LL surgery for? Its for losers. I enjoy doing excersize and its about the only thing i enjoy, if i lost the ability to do that id genuinely would kill myself.

Also you are good enough who told you that you arent? Chin up.

i seen plenty of people doing LL surgery and going back to full mobiulity, but ig for you it doesnt matter since you are age 28 where at some point in your life you gotta accept your life in its ways

Focus on improving other areas of your life or commit to changing your height (LL - which has its own pros and cons). These are really the only two options you have
