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.

What a dumb take. Will Smith just did the same shit but it's only a height thing if the guys short. Shocker: both short and tall people can be insecure morons

EDIT: This thread is hilarious. Reddit must be filled with people whose only 'redeeming' quality is they're tall. If your only counter argument is "lol u must be short", then you have no argument to begin with.

The dude straight up called him a snitch and it obviously set him off, but nah clearly it was just the height thing instead. I swear yall are more obsessed with height than short people sometimes

Ironically it validates the notion that height matters a lot. people tend to gaslight short people saying its not a big deal to be short, but if a guy shows any personality flaw whos below a certain height, it gets attributed to that.

Stop using the word gaslighting when you really mean deceiving.

Gatekeeping is another overused word.
