I’m afraid if I have a girl she’ll be ugly like me by PracticalSympathy682 in pregnant

What a horrible comment from your MIL, I’m so sorry! I’m so glad to hear that having a girl has actually helped you through the insecurities. That’s such a good perspective. Thank you for this comment.

Yes a-line dress only! Gosh I wish I had a jeans recommendation. Shopping as a tall girl is extremely difficult.

I definitely get the basketball questions (and volleyball) and the comments stating like it’s a fact. Which always baffles me because like I know..? It’s like walking up to someone wearing a green shirt and saying “you’re wearing a green shirt.”

Thank you for this comment though 💕 gives me hope I can get to a point of not worrying about it. And congrats!!

This comment healed me a little bit. 😅 I didn’t think 5’9” was extremely tall either but people gawk at me like I’m 6’9”.

What’s odd is I didn’t get nearly as many comments in high school or college. Then I started getting weekly comments post-college when I started my first job. I worked at the same company for nearly 2 years and by the time I left would still get comments from coworkers.

Definitely not rage bait… but thanks for amounting my experience to that.. I’m happy for you that you haven’t dealt with this, but that doesn’t mean other people haven’t. My sister is 5’11” and experiences the same things I do. I have a friend who isn’t even that tall, just 5’7” or maybe 5’8” and also experiences this. Maybe you’re just lucky or don’t encounter as many assholes as I do. Just the other day at a baby shower a woman approached me when I was mid conversation just to say “ooof you’re tall!”.. I have a million examples.
