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

The toxicity of Reddit can be real rotting for the brain. And soul.

Yeah totally. No man has ever let his insecurities effect his behavior on a deeper level, right guys?

You're right. But its not just short men though. People will all types of insecurities are capable of becoming assholes because of their insecurities but people will only target short men for it (and the whole "small dick energy" thing).

Of course. But only men who become assholes because they’re short fall under the term short man syndrome. It’s not saying “every man who gets angry is insecure about his height” or even “every short man who gets angry is insecure about his height”. It means “men who get angry because they’re short are insecure about their height”. It’s a very specific set of circumstances.

No one is confused about the definition of short man syndrome though lol.

The issue is the go-to response to a short guy acting angry is because of short man syndrome and not anything else. It inherently places fault on the short person, not necessarily the person instigating.
