im beaten for being tall?

Question

im 19 and am 5 10'. im quite slim. but being tall makes me soo uncomfortable. i was soooo preppy when i was younger but my first bf would slag me off saying i had the body of a man. this started me to hate myself. we ended up finishing. im now with a lovely man who is in a band and he is too quite tall. he says he loves my height and body. most times when i go out shoppping the women who work in there or other customers make fun of my height. they would say im sorry but our store dosent carry clothes for your height. i seriously feel like a freak. i was bullied at school as i was always taller then most of the boys. and other girls would spit at me and just push me about. my bf says girls are just jealous of me cos im tall but i now this is a lie. when i was 17 i got the offer to do some portfolios for a small modelling agency but turned it down. when girls at my school found out things got worse. am i too tall as i hate my body so much. is there anyway to make myself smaller

Answer 1

Tall is beautiful! Seriously, taste varies from one perosn to another, but many men find height in women to be an attraction. If a modelling company offered you a job, they must have agreed. Of course you didn't have to take it, that's your choice, but if you refused the job just because you are tall, then I think that was a mistake. You seem to be rejecting your own body enough, others don't have to!
One thing that can keep you from looking pretty is slumping to appear less tall. If you are tall, take advantage of it, stand tall, be proud of it, love yourself the way you are (not in a narcissistic way of course) and you will look pretty. I would give the same advice to a short person: make the best of being short! Most people, especially girls, have a great deal of difficulty accepting what their bodies look like ' they all consider themselves to be too tall, too short, to oplump, too skinny, etc. And most of them, if they only knew it, are the object of envy by others! I am sure that is your case.
- Unless you are slumping of course. Stand straight!

Remember all of those cartoons and sitcoms where the awkward kid finally finds the thing he/she is good at? Remember Rudolph and the land of misfit toys? How about the children's book 'The Ugly Duckling'? Kermit the frog singing 'It's Not Easy Being Green'? (The used it in the comercial where the little girl watches the tall guy board the plane and cram himself into the seat by the window) It's all CRAP!...or is it? I don't think I ever heard of anyone, friend or not, who felt comfortable in their own skin until about thirty years old, or so. We, all of us, have something that makes us feel 'different'. Sometimes it stands out, and sometimes it's hidden below the surface and easy to hide. Take a look at those models and basketball players - they got lucky and found a place for their attributes. Those lucky few and the, much larger, group of plain-Janes have something in common: they learned to live with themselves. They learned to be who, and what, they were, realizing that they could'nt be anything else. Stand to the side, one day, and take a look at the people on the street. Short, fat, thin, tall, gracefull, awkward, voluptuous, flat, too-dark, too-light, mixed, gay, trangendered, handicapped, disabled, nerdy, rich, poor, etc., they all had to face themselves and learn to live with what they do, or do not, have. Here's one way to think about it: the girls in your school are intimidated by you. You don't have to worry about clothes making you look short and fat. No matter how much make-up they use, how sexy their clothes are, how slutty they act...you're taller, so the guys see you first. they degrade you, tease, laugh and call you names - and you still have a boyfriend! (it must really tick them off). You lack comfort and confidence...so fake it. BE tall, BE pretty, BE cool, BE YOU - just to spite them all. Look in the mirror and practice holding yourself at your full hight. Raise your head up and prance around the room like a model. Dance! Use this mantra that I heard from Iyana VanZandt (it was on a radio show): "I am the daughter,in whom God is well pleased". Type it in Word, use a large font, print it out and tape it to the wall beside the door so you can read it, out loud, before you walk out the door in the morning. After a while you'll start to believe it.

erm . i really dont think there is a way of making yourself shorter , apart from cutting your legs or decapitating yourself or a wheel chair . no insult intended, just listing a few totally impractical ways to do so .

i'd say your bf is right . i;m in singapore and i know like less then 5 girls in my entire lifetime thuis far, i;m 20 who is 5 10' or taller. i;m 5'll and i;m tall for an asian. of course that mao guy is huge.. haha
anyway , girls i see, american , canadian, asian girls, most arnt very tall. most of my classmates are like 160cm average. they all want to be tall. they envy girls who are tall. aloud. they dont make fun of them , not that i know of. but simply put, they all want to be tall.

i know for a fact that westerners are bigger and taller then asians, so, having a shorter bf isnt a problem for you, but is a problem in singapore. like my cousing married a guiy who;s shorter then her , barefoot, and it;s always a topic of converasation at the table .

for clothes, i;m sure you can alter them ? it;s prob true that it'll be alittle difficult getting clothes because the majority of girls arnt that tall so clothe manufactures dont make them too big or long or it wont sell. i'm pretty certian you can make your purchases online . or maybe from another coutry where the women are taller. plus you'd get clothes no other girl on your bloch has . haha .. maybe sweden ? just thinking out loud. other then than , they may just be as you said, joking about it. you can still look around, i;m sure you can find something , unless it;s jeans then it'll be kinda obvious it;s too short

i know how it feels to not have clothes. i;m about 240 pounds and in singapore the clothes dont go that big . ahha . so i end up buying my shirts from the states when i;m there and i dont really shop for clothes in singapore because there'd be no isze.

i treally think your height and ths your figure would be different from the others , infact unique and possibly better !
think of it as superior genes . haha.

so all in all, i really dont think wanting to become shorter is a good or even practical idea. God made you as you were, special , and for a purpose. God lets things happen for a reason.

my dad always says

sticks and stones may break my bones , but words cannot hurt me

only listen to productive criticizm

cheers

Answer 4

I know what you are going through....I am 6 ft tall myself and have been since I was 13.....I was taller than all the boys and I am still taller than alot of them.....It gets easier....Kids are quite cruel so dont beat yourself up about it...there is nothing that you can do to make yourself shorter and slumping in order to make yourself appear shorter only causes problems...so stand tall and stand proud...lots of girls are jealous of women that are tall....You are beautiful because height doesnt affect beauty. Be proud that you are tall there are lots of advantages to being tall.

Answer 5

Im the same as you, I like it and I dont.
I like it because other girls wouldnt dare mess with me as I would kick the living snot right out of them, and men, well whatever if they cant handle my height then they are small dick losers, who want to take out their pedophile fantasies on our shorter women. Your ex was assshole, and he probably said all that mean stuff so you wouldnt get another man, you know, he's trying to tear you down.
**** him. not literally.
I have since found a solution to my problem about finding jeans long enough, they are called rock and republic and they are the best for us tall chicks, and as for feet, mine are big, I just tell anyone who makes fun of their size that they are big enough to kick their fat assess.
I dont think I want to be short anymore, I just want everyone to be tall.
Short people to me look funny in clothes, unlike me, I look fuking hot in jeans, like you probably.
I dont want stove pipe legs!
I never got bullied at school, I was just there, but then I never went much, I skipped ALOT!
You are tall but it could be worse, you could be six 4 and a female, imagine that.
I know EXACTLY wat you mean about the shopping thing, I get it all the time! Esp, in stores like american eagle, gap or abercrombie.
Snobs, so I dont shop there anymore, and I have lots of money as well, they lost a nice commision.
Do wat I do, get into acting, its fun and there is uge need for tall females in it, at least in canada.
email me if you want more advice or solutions.
