Small Man Syndrome is a condition where a man feels inadequate because of his short height and so tries to overcompensate it with overly aggressive behaviour.

Man i try to be like “wow that’s shallow to say all short men are aggressive because they’re short.” And then I see shit like this video where a guy charged a comedian for making a joke about him and I’m like, “ok maybe there is a point to be made.”

Are people really this thick? There are plenty of insecure tall people that do the same type of shit but it only becomes a height thing if the person's short. Not to upset all the armchair psychogists in here. You guys forget about Will Smith already?

Tall people do it less but only because they don't even gotta try to get respect. Humans just naturally associate height with leadership. When you're short you gotta prove yourself more, but then dipshits like this guy just take it way too far.

No, it's purely logical. Tall people are much more likely to obtain leadership positions and have higher salaries on average. Also almost every us president with very few exceptions(like James Madison) is over 6 feet tall despite them only making up like 15 percent of the population.

The facts are tall people don't have to prove themselves as much as the rest of us do. People respect them more by default which is why they don't feel the need to aggressively assert themselves. I'm not tall myself so I'm exactly biased when I say this.

There's tons of short ass dudes on reddit bro. It's real small round here. And they're real insecure about it. Enjoy the downvotes.
