I'm 5'08 and a half or 174 centimeters. From the first day of school to graduation, I was always one of the shortest guys in class. I didn't get teased for my height, but it certainly made me insecure.
Thankfully with my long arms, reaching for high items isn't too difficult. The real issue is looking younger. People still label me as a teenager/preteen despite being a legal adult. I hope my new short beard can help change that.
