    5’2. I can’t reach anything! I constantly need to ask for help at the grocery store, and I keep a step stool in most of the rooms in my house.

    I am 5'8" and have always always loved being somewhat tall. I was 5'6" as a child so I really expected to be six feet as an adult but stopped growing at 13. I wouldn't even have minded that, honestly (being super tall). I feel like with most men I'm right around their height or shorter.

    Hey, at least we get a discount at the bingo hall and get to play chess in the park now and not look weird. Also, it was just a "social experiment".

    Ah, I quit reading once I got caught up in my own mortality. Was that the story?
    I was personally looking forward to the early bird specials.

    I wish I were 7 feet tall, then my BMI would be normal.

    I'm perfectly okay being 5 feet tall except when I gain some weight and look like a baby walrus. :D

    -Would you rather be the same height you are now, taller or shorter? why?
    -Has your height ever given you negative feelings?
    .

    When I was young my height frustrated me more and I did feel negatively about it. I was always the shortest in my family and had many experiences of people holding things out of reach because it was funny to them. I remember not being able to see in tbe bathroom mirror for a long time or be able to reach the pull chain on the lights without standing on something. I had to sit on everyone's coats in the movie theater to see the screen. I would get frustrated at tall people walking in front of me because I could not see around them. I never felt more attractive or feminine for being smaller. I didn't know any guys shorter than me.
    Being smaller I usually got a bad seat in the car. Having to practically run to keep up with people with longer legs.

    I ended up at 5'4". I am mostly okay with my height. I married someone a few inches taller than me and it is nice being near the same height. I have a step ladder I use almost daily in my kitchen. Pants are often a bit too long if I don't get the petite size or alter them. It is annoying when children are suddenly taller than me... I enjoy being taller for a few years.
    I do not wear high heels.
