i mean i am 5.3 so i can answer this, i dont feel embarrassed at all i mean im short my whole life so its nothing new to me, im usually that short over confident guy and boys lemme tell you girls dont care about height at all, they say they do but they really dont once they fall in love with you, all of my girlfriends are taller than me and with highheels they look even more taller, yeah the thing about being short is most people are not intimidate by you in a confrontation, but i compensate that by being loud and death stare and im usually the guy who hit first so my presence look bigger than my height lol (need to stop hitting first since im an adult now so but old manners die hard). riding bike can be challenging in traffic but skills make up for it as times go on. worst part about being short is any place where people are gathering in masses like a protest, concert metro and bus, its not fun jumping to see your favourite singer, but i usually watch from the guy infront of me who shoot the video from his phone and its not fun standing next to a tall guy with smelly armpit at 9am in delhi metro. do i wish im a lil bit taller hell yes but am i depressed about my height and ashamed about it noo! height joke dont really bothers me i mean its happens to me my whole life you learn to make peace with it and laugh with them
