    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 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.
     
    THE FUCK ARE YOU EATING PEOPLE?

    I'm 182cm, because I don't use your units.

    Also I have pretty long hands, so I reach everything easily.
     
    My license says 5"3 so I'm sticking with that... It makes me look like a middle school student and I hate when people assume that considering I'm this close to graduating.
     
    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 think short girls are so cute. I bet there are lots of people think as I do. So, don't worry about goddamn numbers in your life. You and your personality are important.

    edit: Btw, I'm 171 cm. What am I? 4 or 5"? lol
     
    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 do not understand your unit measurements (ノ ゚д゚)ノ

    155 cm here and idc, probably mad that I have to use stools to reach higher places but eh.
     
    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.
