Hi. Im 21 year-old guy. I have an issue with my height since I enter a Uni. My height is 162cm. Roughly 5'3 feet. I feel very unmotivated and a bit depression with my height.. And my bone structure also small (My hands are very small. Like a girl). Everything I want to do I always imagine that Im so small and doesn't fit into the real men social life.

I've always been the shortest guy since primary school (everytime during assembly Im the one who will be at the front bcause Im the shortest).. But during my childhood and teenage even if my friends tease me abt my height, i dont really care.. Until I was 18 y/o, I take things seriously..

Sometimes I blame my parent for not giving me enough and nutritious food eventhough they can afford but they seems to want me to eat just whatever they had for the meal time which most of the time I dont like and dont enjoy the food.

Because Im short, I also have problem with social anxiety.. When I want to go to gym, I feel like I dont fit into it. Even most of the girls at the gym are even taller than me. When I want to play sports, I feel insecure because of my height too.

I easily dont gain respect from strangers.. They treat me differently.. Most of the people I know treat me like Im younger than them.

Sometimes I just motivate myself to accept who I am and dont care about what others think abt me.. But it just words.. Deep inside, it does really matter to me..

Actually there is a lot of things came out in my mind.. Am I fit into my job later on? Can I get a girl?

Sometimes I google about Bruno Mars, Daniel Radcliffe(Harry Potter) because they are short and yet still success in their life..

But I easily unmotivated.

I know my problem is not really a big issue, I still have a lot of things to be grateful for. But I just cant understand myself why is it hard to accept the fact that Im short.

Well, bro. I can tell you that, control the things you can control. Thats what I learned in my football training at least. We learned that its all in the mind. You can control when you go to the gym and your routine for that. You can control whether you can approach a girl. You can control how you are going to get that job interview, or what you can become. But, you can't control the growth of your muscles, your height, and your bone structure. You can't control the reaction from the girl you approached. You can't control the decision of the boss who interviews you. These all add up to your motivation. If you can control the things that you can control. Your motivation in life will certainly increase. You must ask yourself, what your motivation is in life. If you don't know what it is, find it. Embrace that part of finding it. As for your height issue, I know girls that love short men, and being short has many advantages than being. Especially in football, I am fairly tall but the shorts players always dribble past me. For that reason sometimes I wish I was short. Well. Good Luck, bro.
