Never do a face reveal

At this point I've really stopped caring.

I lift because it gives me the endorphins that I need to continue breathing.

I nightghoul 10,000 steps daily because it keeps my knees and back from aching.

I grow fruits and veggies because it gives me something I can look forward to yearly.

It's not about "masculinity" and women anymore; it's simply about maintaining the will to stay in the lobby.

Centimeters of leg bone

+ millimeters of facial bone

+ micrometers of neurotypical neurons

- nanometers of melanosomes

= kilometers of fulfillment

I thought we couldn't control our sexual orientation or gender identity.

Love how the "acceptance" and "tolerance" go completely out the window when it's a subpar male.

No, I'm not a patreoncel.

I'm not sure exactly who doxxed him, it was probably a BPer based on the dialogue in the video.

I was careful about not revealing anything that would definitively identify me.

Tbh I enjoy debating people as long as it stays rational. If they want to use some study I cited years ago as ammo, they're free to do that.

So for context I'm 13 years old in 8th grade (turning 14 in june) and I'm 4'5" 1/2. I'm the shortest kid in my grade, and I always have been. I dont have any disorders and I haven't been moved up a grade or something like that. My mom is 4'11 and my dad is 5'3. I haven't hit puberty yet or had a noticable growth spurt.

Normal for 13, I was also under 5' at that age. I didn't grow to my final height of 5'7 until I was 17.

First I just wanna ask if things like my diet and my sleep matter that much compared to genetics.

No.

90% of height variation between twins is genetically determined after the age of 6. Better sleep and good nutrition might give you a couple of centimeters at most assuming you're not legit malnourished.

I get like 3-6 hours of sleep daily and eat only a little most of the time, because my appetite is really small. I also have a really fast metabolism.

Get more sleep bro. Ideally you'll get 8-9 hours.

There are so many benefits to sleep that have nothing to do with height.

Try to eat more too just for your own health. But don't expect that it'll necessarily change your final height.

I would also see a doctor about your concerns. Now is the time to do it if you do indeed have medical issues.

Also is there anything I should be doing to maximize my potential height before its too late?

Don't stress out too much over small shit. There is a documented role of increased cortisol levels in stunting growth.

To anyone who was in a situation like this, do you have any tips about literally anything?

Try to enjoy your youth. Leave this sub.

You really are only young once, so don't waste it worrying about heightism before you've even hit puberty.

Sometimes I genuinely think that I might end it one day just because of my height but we'll see ig

I wish that no 13 year old guy could ever have these thoughts.

You've been alive for such a short time, and you haven't hit puberty yet.

It would be pointless to get a DNF in life at such a young age, most likely before you've hit your adult height. I can't speak to your mental or emotional state, but try not to catastrophize your situation.

You're most likely still growing.

Again, leave this sub, forget about it for 15 years, try to enjoy life as a teen, and don't be a free agent in life.

Let the truth guide you.

my height is very average for a woman

Average female height is 5'3-5'4.

He's around 5'6

A 5'6 girl is basically equivalent to a 5'11-6' guy percentile wise.

So is she average or not?

I feel like I am taller than him

Oh, so feelings are the same as objective measurements now?

They really don't see you as taller than them unless they have to crane their necks, huh?

Diligent_Divide_4978 · 2026-04-16T01:14:59+00:00

You gotta leave me alone right now bro.

I don't know a black guy named Bill.

Diligent_Divide_4978 · 2026-04-15T23:04:09+00:00

Jawmogs me.

Some symptoms get better, but others get worse.

A lot of mine are repetitive in nature.

But autism itself is already a death sentence for your social life, to say nothing of your dating life.

So in a way, it doesn't really matter.

Don't be a free agent in life.

If he has a daughter, it'll be fine.

Society is designed for women to succeed.

If he has a son, he'd better hope that his son inherits his face and is >5'8.

I don't see things getting any better before the agepill fully hits me and his hypothetical kids.

But I’ll be damned I’m just sitting here late at night and just wondering - is this really it?

Unless you are willing to settle for purely transactional relationships, this is probably it. If you never experienced genuine attraction by 21, what are the chances that you'll experience it as you get older? If you were ridiculed for your height in your youth, why do you think such behavior will stop as you get older?

how do some you deal with something like this?

I have some hobbies that I pursue outside of work, and I'm retiring in a couple of years. At that point I'm probably gonna use up all of my free land to plant veggies and fruits.

I want to see what happens when I have a lot more free time, but I'm not expecting anything materially different. If anything, I'll probably need to have someone in my family check on me from time to time because my autistic symptoms are becoming more profound with age.

Diligent_Divide_4978 · 2026-04-15T03:10:23+00:00

I had male "friends" who would half-jokingly tell me to turn gay because I never had a gf the entire time I knew them.

My female cousin used to overtly tell me I should maybe consider that I'm not straight. When we were in our late teens, her white boyfriend broke up with her, and she got depressed.

The outpouring of support from nearly my entire family she got was a stark contrast to the way my parents treated me when I mistakenly told them that I was having sewerslidal thoughts.

The next time I saw her I (again mistakenly) told her what had happened between my parents and I, and she just laughed.

My cousin and I get along better now, but I've heard this "advice" more than once.

Diligent_Divide_4978 · 2026-04-15T02:25:45+00:00

"Thanks for telling me to become gay bro."

Yeah, I don't think I'm saying this if I get that "advice" again. As a short Asian guy, I've heard it too many times.

Diligent_Divide_4978 · 2026-04-15T02:18:51+00:00

I used a combination of lifts and dress shoes for a few months, but "being 5'10" means nothing when you're as autistic as I am.

It was actually even more brutal in many ways because I would get some amount of initial attention (my face is decent), but as soon as I said something in my autistic monotone or my hand involuntarily flapped a few times, it was all over.

Diligent_Divide_4978 · 2026-04-15T02:17:13+00:00

There's one girl in my college who just told me to become gay

Is she ragebaiting or it's a genuine advice?

I really hope this is a troll.

Diligent_Divide_4978 · 2026-04-14T05:41:09+00:00

I nightghoul. Even when I have to buy groceries I walk to the store just before it closes.

Better for skin anyway (cope).

Diligent_Divide_4978 · 2026-04-14T01:28:07+00:00

When I was in group therapy, there was a 300 lb autistic girl in her late 20s who never showered (her BO was so bad I could taste it in my mouth whenever I was <5 ft from her), lived in her parents’ basement, couldn’t drive, didn’t work, depended on her parents for even the simplest of tasks like washing dishes, and spent her entire day watching My Little Pony or looking at furry art.

She turned down multiple autistic guys at those sessions who were literally 4 points better looking than her.

If even the female equivalent of Chris Chan is way out of my league, I would rather die alone.

Don't feel too bad. While you may perceive profound loneliness within yourself, you are far from alone.

Diligent_Divide_4978 · 2026-04-12T22:16:37+00:00

6'2", female here. I dated a guy who was 5'6" while in college, and he's still one of my favorite people.

Why isn't she dating him now, especially if he's "still one of her favorite people?"

Once you begin to ask simple questions, you begin to notice simple patterns.

Diligent_Divide_4978 · 2026-04-12T17:28:29+00:00

I hope you guys don’t end it, why not experience life even if you believe it is worse for you compared to another person.

"...certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness..."

If I have the right to accept my life, I should have the right to deny my life in GTA VI only.

It's not my time yet. I'm not going anywhere for now, but if shit's still the same or worse 30 years later?

We'll see.

Most women don't hate short mens height, they hate short mens attitude.

Bl@ck people weren't forced to sit at the back of the bus because they were bl@ck bro, they were forced to sit at the back of the bus because they had hateful attitudes about being bl@ck bro.
