Its annoying. When I talk to somebody taller than me, its usually hard to block out of my head the thoughts that keep thinking about how he's taller than me and I can't ignore it. ANybody been through this? Its worse when I'm talkin to a taller woman. I feel like she don't respect me (cause of some thing that I read). How do I get over it?

This isn't something anyone should worry about. You shouldn't think you are better than anyone else just because of your hair color, skin color, eye color, height...
Being tall is highly over-rated! Coaches want tall people to play on their sports teams, but height serves little purpose when it comes to most every day things, esp. in a wold in which brains are more important to survive than physical attributes...
Just tell yourself that you 'like' being your height. Learn to feel more comfortable about yourself and concentrate on the characteristics that you like the most!

I can identify with what you're thinking. I'm a tad under 5 feet; just about everyone is taller than me. I don't feel inferior to them; I get along with just about everyone. When I was younger (about 12), it used to bother me, but now that I am 25, it doesn't bother me at all if someone is taller than me. My advice to you is to give yourself some time, ultimately, you will get over feeling inferior just like I did.

hey im just wondering how old u r. cuz if ur like a teenager, and still growing. dont lose hope. that growth spurt is just around the corner. in fact u kno what really helped me grow? i drank vitamin pills. and i also drank pure carrot juice with a slice of butter. i really dont know how this works, but my aunt (who is a certified doctor) told me to do this. i did this for a couple of weeks, and it really worked. this aint a joke. i kno exactly how u feel. but if u've already stopped growing, and this is really a problem, im sure that u can talk to a psychologist. i think he/she will help u out alot.

Well, I am tall and sometimes I feel like a giant compaired to other people! But for the most part, I dont think about it. Being a tall girl, I dont think I feel less respect for a man that is shorter than me. I cant date a guy that is shorter than me though.....its just too weird.

My friend is tall and is so embaressed about it. Her best guy friend has a disease that won't allow him to grow. So they both worry about themselves and their heights. But when they really thought about it... IT DOESN'T MATTER!
Oh just a suggestion: Try making taller people sit down when you talk to them.

You get over it by seeking counseling to help you resolve your feelings of inferiority.

Just get over yourself, and get a life.

You have a complex.
Fortunately, it doesn't involve murdering other people.
