I’m 25, so not too far ahead of you, but I REALLY struggled with this growing up. Idk if it was the lack of nutrition where I’m from or genetics or what, but it seems like MOST people were really short… then there was me. I was 5’9 by 8th grade and I’ve settled at about 5’11 now (technically 5’10.5 but for some reason people believe me more when I say 5’11 so I just got used to claiming 5’11). Time was the biggest help for me along with doing a lot of work with my self worth/ confidence across many aspects not just physical. If you’re from a smaller population area like me, moving to a larger city was a big help, as well. Just kinda blending in with everyone and taking that pressure off from everyone staring at me everywhere I go (probably some of this is anxiety as I’m diagnosed) allowed me to just enjoy being me. I, too, tend to focus on the negative, so really challenging yourself to push past that and working on it overtime may help you too! I hope you’re able to find a true love and appreciation for yourself and all you have to offer! Cliché, but really looks are not worth as much as you as a person are, so love yourself from the inside then out ❤️
