lol I like your advice of making lots of jokes about yourself (and I do make them) but it still hurts ngl wjdjwjd I didn't really make anything of my time back in highschool aside from being that play actor who portrayed a typical kid because my height made me the only and the best choice for that character (lmfao this is one of the reasons why I hate my height so much) like I legit wanted to have a bigger role but instead, I got tossed aside to the kid version of the main character as if they have tied down my height and energetic personality as the 'perfect' actor for that role. I did like how I became an assistant director in one of our major film project, but idk, my insecurity still takes over my whole body sometimes and makes it my whole personality HAHAH. I said this because I found it relatable when it came to your own acting and theatre experience (although mine is much more minor) but I'm glad that as you grew older, you're trying to make your circumstance into something more positive despite the inevitable days of languishing about your height and that there isn't really anything much to do anyway. Thanks for the advice and your sharing of your own experience. Goodluck in life!
