How do you cope with being short? What can you do?

[Baldingat188]

Just stop caring tbh. I’m 5”6 and at this point I could care less. Yea , we make less money and will never be respected in the workplace. But honestly does that even matter? 100 years from now we will all be long forgotten. Life is very short lived so ultimately even “having it all” is over rated. Even if your the ultimate chad making 100k a year, traveling, banging girls. That only lasts like 10-20 years max. Then you get old and deal with the same depressing problems everyone else does ( health issues, bad relationships, finding meaning, etc).

my strategy is to completely give up on dating. I guess it’s easy for me because I have a non existent sex drive. I still think it’s over rated. I just try to live life for the experiences I can enjoy. For me I enjoy solo hobbies like traveling and cooking. There is still plenty of worthwhile things to experience in this world as a single person. The going to bars drunk life style is extremley over rated imo. The world is full of cool experiences if you seek them out. So yea, I just try to enjoy the parts of life that I can but I also know my life will be over before I know it so I don’t stress to much about these things. Just enjoy the ride because we all end in the same place.

I was like this as well but then i experienced a relationship and it was a really good experience (until the horrible ending), there's nothing you can do to replicate it, you can't buy it you can't do other things to fulfil you the way a relationship does.
I agree with you, that is the best way of coping, accepting who you are and just enjoying things in life but ultimately you're still missing out on intimacy, sex, love and bonding a basic human need.

Well if you are 14 then you could still have a growth spurt in you. How tall are your parents?

I like my appearance and I don't have complexes because of my height

Yea your missing out I know. What I’m trying to say is no one lives a complete or perfect life. I have accepted I will never be 100% happy, it just is what it is. Funny thing is before I dealt with sex drive issues I actually had 1 relationship for a brief period in my life. I ended up dumping her because she became to clingy. Now I haven’t been intimate with anyone in over 3 years and I don’t really plan to be ever again.

love doesn’t exist like it doesn’t in the movies imo. A small minority of people find a happy relationship, but tons of people deal with toxicity, divorces, unplanned pregnancy, etc. maybe it’s just a huge cope but I could care less. I consider myself contently depressed at this point. I think life is pretty shitty but I don’t stress about it.

You can sing that about toxicity & divorces.. I know an ex mate that has three young twins, and has just broke up with the girl, who he lived with etc.. he’s back with his folks & gets to see the kids at the weekend.. I’m kinda laughing cause he thought he was great living with a girl.

Yea there’s so much of relationships that the outside world doesn’t see. Personally I don’t want all that baggage of kids , marriage, fancy house. That kind of life style leaves no free time for yourself.
