I'm one of those that's well one the small size. I'm only 5 feet. And when I'm doing something I tend to get people who will try and do it for me and I hate that. I'm not the girly girl type either and have no problem doing work. Like if I'm moving something it's here let me help you. Uhh I was just fine and don't need help if I did I would have asked.

Does anyone else have this issue like I do? Or am I just stubborn...lol.

I'm short too but not too short.. I'm average height for a girl I guess. I can't reach a lot of things but only if they're high up. My biggest problem is when I'm in class and we're looking towards the instructor while he or she is trying to give us instructions. Since I'm one of the few girls in the class most people tower over me so I have to stand in front of them. Also sometimes I need help reaching something really high on a shelf, but I think that's a problem for most people.

I'm to big

I'm 5'11

I'm 26 going on 27... but I'm 5'4. I look like a teenager. People often mistake me for being younger too. It does get annoying, but I've learned to deal with it. After they find it my real age though, it takes them by surprise. That's always so funny to see the look on their face. :'D

I'm 17 and I'm 5'8"-5'9". usually lower. I haven't grown in any substantial amount since I was like 13 so I'm not holding out hope that I'll get much taller. it's okay being this height though.

I'm around 179cm (just under 5'11"), so I don't have everyday issues based off my height.

However when I was in high school and playing basketball, I'd almost always play as a guard - so no real height issues there either. To be honest, playing guard in high school, I was taller than average xD There were a few times at basketball camps I attended where I was the tallest on my team (HOW DOES THAT EVEN HAPPEN?!) and I have to play centre (SERIOUSLY WHAT?) against some 6'7" or taller guy. Needless to say I'd play very physical and dirty to get as much of an edge as possible.

I was actually the person that some people tried to make do things for them, at least in terms of "please grab/put this thing up there", because I was taller than them and it was apparently easier to make me do it instead. :P

~5' 8" here and done, and I was never a short person compared to others (well, at least until high school) while growing up. It was kind of awkward.

5'0", and honestly, I don't mind. Do I wish I can reach the higher shelves without a stool or see over other peoples' heads in big crowds? Sure, but I've gotten used to my height so it doesn't really bother me.

And I mean, there are places I can reach bigger people can't too, so it's just a bit of a trade off imo. :P Sometimes I'm the one helping people get into tight spaces for things.

I am only 5 foot 4 inches tall, and sometimes I hate it. I am below the average height for American males in their 20s. Course even though I am 27 years old, I don't look it. I look younger than I actually am.

I'm actually very short (4'11, 150cm). I get mistaken as a pre-teen/teenager so many times I lost count, haha. Like others said, a lot of times I would need something to climb or help from someone although I can reach some smaller places fairly well.

I'm 5'9" which is average maybe? Though I can understand a bit of how you feel because it seems like you feel that people underestimate you because of your height? This might not always be the case, but I suggest just saying "I'm ok but thank you" or something like that.

I guess my problem is people see me and think oh she's to tiny to do this or can't move that. Though I'm actually pretty strong for someone my size. At work I asked my supervisor if I could move my sewing machine table and she said yeah let me get someone to help you with it. 10 minutes go by and no one came so I just moved it myself. She finally comes over and says I'm getting someone to help you with it. I'm like why I can do it myself it's not that heavy.

Just because I'm small doesn't mean I'm helpless and I hate people who think that.

I haven't measured myself in a while, but I know I'm somewhere right around 6'. My shoe size is 14 though and we think there's a possibility that I was going to be much taller if not for medication I took as a kid possibly stunting my growth :(
