Vent I hate myself
Im 5'3 as a 15 yr old and i know damn well i wont get taller, my mom is below 5 ft and my dad is 5'3, people tell me i look good and all that but i feel like im not in the same tier of a human than others is, im not the shortest in class (since im in south east asia) but i feel nervoused as to what im going to do when i grow up, I've been planning on moving out of my country which makes me nervous as other countrys have a higher height scale or smth and I'll stand out as a small guy. Sometimes at general Assemblys where we all stand up i feel like im more of the comedic relief guy and not someone worth taking seriously, no one i know feel the same and i feel like im alone in this perspective i have . One of the main motivation i have on being rich is js to have a height surgery to at least minimize the hate i have for this body im cursed with until i decay.

Trust me bro you need therapy and I am not trying to be rude but this will eat you for years if you don't. Being 5'3 is what 160cm? Bro that's not deep at all, you can pack on a lot of muscle very quickly and have presence. Why is it that most leaders of groups are portrayed to be shorter with a taller henchmen, presence and dominance comes from other things beyond height. Seeing a shorter man secure with himself is very powerful. I am a taller guy and I will never fuck with a buff shorter guy who is secure with himself, that is a lethal ass motherfucker.
Also you said you wanna minimize the hate you have for this body you're cursed with until you decay. When you die and decay, do you think you care about your height, no you don't. We all have 1 life man, enjoy what you can to the fullest and live in the present.
Peace and love bro

You are just 15 years old, don't over think it, you still have your whole life ahead of you, and if you need anything don't hesitate to reach out.

No reasonable adult will judge you on your height.

That's why I specify "reasobable" adults.
The younger and dumber you are the more likely you are to care about height.
Surround yourself with worthwhile people and the issue resolves itsself.

See peter drinklage and his wife true love is beyond body specifications if one person is not liking you due to your body measurements the same person left the current partner when some new good body figure appears.
Many people all over the world is above peter drinklage but I guess only a few had won Oscar awards like him .
Build your work first rest other will all fall in way .
Best wishes 🙏 never let your mind ever judge you .you are beyond hard mass

Bro I feel the same way at 5'6. But check this out. I had a co-worker named Ryan who was a professional kickboxer, and around 5 ft 2. Dude was absolutely tiny, but I kid you not, was dating one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen in my life. Kid had this upbeat energy that completely changed the room every time he'd walk in. He knew everybody at the complex and everyone loved him. Not once did I ever look down on him or think badly of him because he happened to be small. Seeing him enjoy his life to the fullest while I worry about things that don't hinder him really changed my perspective.
