Will my short stature be an issue in the real world? Will my short stature cause me to have miserable life?

Question

I'm a 17 years old male and 5ft tall. My doctor said I stopped growing( I come from a short family). I'm just wondering in the real world, does your confidence, good attitude matter more or does your height and looks matter more. Should I worry too much about my height right now or is it just something minor.
It just sux, constantly, everywhere I go, height and looks matter more, not personality, as most people say. And being a 5ft male I hate it. I try to make the best and but its all depressing. No one girl will ever date me, getting a job(according to studies) taller man gets everything. Just want to know is being 5ft tall the worst thing in the world, it seems to me. I feel like that I'm not looking forward to life thats ahead of me.

Answer 1

You can be in charge of how people see you ! Personality are much more impressive to the people in life that will matter the most . We each have the power to live a good life , it is all in our attitude . I am going to suggest a great book for you to read . I've read it several times . it's ... There's a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem- by Wayne W. Dyer , another by him is called Wisdom of the ages . These books gave me a chance to finally get my life together . And be able to face anything that comes my way .
Good Luck sweetie !!!

Answer 2

it will only be an issue if you let/make it become one.you can't go thru life worrying or caring what other people think.if you have a positive attitude and are confident,people won't care how tall you are.keep asking girls out one will say yes eventually.the more you ask the better your odds.my friend who is 4 foot 3 is vice president at a major credit card company.hope this helps.

Answer 3

I am quite tall and I have some advice. First being short has advantages you don't know cuz ya have not been tall like I am too big for efficient high mpg cars, you will find them comfortable ETC.
second instead of being angry with the big guys, (we call it a runt complex) make one your friend and you can be great assistance to each other using your own advantages. We would like a short friend. Get really tired of the back stabbing an informant would be worth plenty.

Answer 4

You are on your way to being your own worst enemy. Stop it. If you care about what others think you are short, not in stature, but in self esteem. Develop your personality and skills. Be a big man in a small body. I saw a guy who was short with high heels on his shoes. I thought, what a loser. Who is he trying to kid?

There was that story about the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

Answer 5

people will judge on appearance... we're shallow that way.
just use that to motivate you to be the best person you can be. don't get confused and try to be better than everyone, no one likes a napolean.
just treat people well and flex your intellect and creativity... or if you're athletic, there are certain sports that are better performed by smaller people...
