height is largely overrated

For real, though.
I’m tall, but I’m not THAT tall. I already have lots of back problems, even though I always bend with my knees when I’m crouching or reaching for something on the ground.
Most of the world simply isn’t built for tall people. You might have no leg room, you might hit your head on many car door frames, amusement park rides are too small/short for you, many normal shirts fit like crop tops, and many pants fit like water-highs. Of course, you can’t forget people’s incessant NEED to announce to you that you are in fact, tall. (Gee, I haven’t noticed lol.) Forget about many long-sleeved tops, too. That’s a fun one in the winter sometimes.
It’s also really annoying to have people regularly tell you that your own personal experience with being tall is wrong. Like I’m sorry to hear that some people may wish they were taller, but it doesn’t magically make the legitimate problems that being tall causes go away. Not having those problems would be so nice.
I’m not at all saying being short is a walk in the park, but being tall isn’t always a walk in the park, either. You can be tall and still lack social skills, confidence, charisma, etc. I can promise you that. Becoming tall probably won’t fix that, either.

Unfortunately it’s used a lot. Having the “perfect” height is a thing for girls, sports, even business to an extent. It’s bull. But I can definitely sympathize with people that choose to try to add inches.

There are sports for which being short is better. There are girls that won’t care about height. Business? Really?
It’s like wanting a huge dick. We all would want one, but the reality is our lives wouldn’t improve almost at all.
