Kestrel she/her Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 I'm just worried it'll hide my figure even more. I have to be so careful with what I wear and how it looks on me, otherwise I just look even smaller.

Or they just remark about me in general. Maybe its not malicious, but it still stings. I'm pretty sure thats all i am to people.

I have friends that are shorter than me (which is saying something, since I'm only around 5'4" or 5'5") and I tease them every now and then, but only because they know I don't mean it in a rude way. And I have friends taller than me (most of them are, actually). They also make jokes about my height sometimes, but again, it doesn't change they way they view me. Heck, my mom is shorter than me and she freaking terrifies me when she's mad. Don't even think about being "short." You're vertically challenged, and that isn't bad.

You are DEFINITELY so much more Your a wonderful, kind, considerate friend, definitely an awesome person in my books. *hugs 1

Once, back when I was 12 or so, my brothers and I played in a game of ultimate frisbee with some friends from church. Everyone all thought I wasn't a threat because I was small and young, so they didn't bother to guard me. Guess who made the goals, y'all. 1

I'm gonna look 12 my entire life. Yay suffering.

I'm well over 6 ft. and I can still do this. I do agree it is fun, though.
TMonsta he/him Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 I could play Jim Carreys distant cousin in a movie...probably not more related to him than that. 1
Tristan Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 I thought I was on the last page of this thread when I was on page six, so I'll just go ahead and say to all the people I upvoted on or around that page: don't worry, I am not stalking you! I'm definitely into anti-beauty pics so it's hard for me to find an actual photo where I'm not making a Jim Carey face. I've got dark brown hair, blue-gray eyes, and in the summer I'll get freckles across my cheeks and nose. I'm a member of the short society, but I like to think of myself as "scrappy-looking." Here is a picture where I tried to keep my eyes open in the sunlight... Spoiler But here is a much more accurate depiction. This was when I lightened my hair; it's much shorter and darker now. Spoiler 8
Darkness Ascendant he/him Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 @TristanThat first one is me attempting to keep my eyes open at any time XD. Darn your eyes are beautiful
StrikerEZ he/him Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 @Tristan I really agree with @Darkness Ascendant Your eyes are gorgeous. They're like the perfect mix between blue and green. I love how they transition to a greener color around the pupil. They're just so vibrant.

Tristan Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 @Darkness Ascendant @StrikerEZ Thank you! I have a yellow ring around my pupils so it makes them look more green sometimes.

Riversong she/her Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 I am about 5'8", female, Sandy-Brown hair. I have large, thick-framed glasses, and I am surprisingly tan, despite the fact that I spend much more time inside than your typical American teenager.
Sunbird she/her Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 @Riversong you might be surprised how much time most American teenagers spend inside. XD

What is this mythical place you have implied like? Perhaps I will find it someday... 3
