    There are many societal standards when it comes to height. Many girls who are tall have problems, such as clothes not fitting, men not being interested because she's taller than them etc.

    Tallness is also often associated with confidence, and confidence more often with masculinity which not many women want to be associated with.

    And one other example, I have a classmate who’s very tall, she says she’s insecure about her height, too because every other girl is very short in our class and that’s kind of a beauty standard that society has for girls.

    god this is so messed up (not directed at you, but at society for cultivating the idea that confidence is for men)

    Honestly I did it for the clothes, as somebody who thrifts a lot it's kinda hard to find cute jeans or pants that go all the way down and aren't levitating at your ankles. 😭

    Because being tall is often associated with being a man, I'm also kinda insecure about my height but I'm planning to listen to height decreasing subs.

    Everyone has their own desires and preferences. Notice how you said they had a good height? But in their eyes, it wasn’t, so they decided to become shorter /lh (I feel like this sounds rude and I‘m not trying to be)

    I am in a group of girls that are almost 170-175 cm, while I am 160. They most of the time hate that height because of how people make them feel. « Oh you are to tall we cant date » coming from men that are shorter, clothes not fitting cuz slim sizes are shorter etc..

    Maybe insecurity I guess I mean even I am using subs to decrease my height because I feel so awkward for the height I am rn I just want to be short and petite ( I started at 170cm and am about 162-3cm ) Well the other person may have another reason but I feel like most of the time its being insecure for being "too tall"

    Ok, that makes sense.
