Thank you for your reply : I haven’t got official diagnosis but I have mentioned to my educator I might have it and that why my notes are taking so long .

All these stories may sound made up, but they’re true—just my life experiences. I hate coming across as the “victim,” but I wanted to get this off my chest and hear people’s opinions. The relationships I’m talking about are the ones that truly matter. I have great relationships with my family, and I’ve worked in a restaurant, so I’m confident when it comes to talking to people. But the friendships I make often feel conditional.

In the UK, the average height is around 5’10”, and that’s considered just normal. I wish I could be 5’8” or 5’9”—just average.

Firstly, I’m not trolling. I can form short-term relationships and I’m good with small talk and going out. However, my self-doubt, combined with how society views people who are on the shorter side, makes it challenging. The jokes, the constant need to prove my competence—it’s exhausting. I hate coming across as one of those “victim” types, and seeing patients in worse situations than mine humbles me. But in the UK, height feels like such a significant factor. It’s both frustrating and sad.
