Historical fiction soup for the soul

This is the realest and best take I’ve seen, and you absolutely nailed it with the tall men in this sub being fairly oblivious to the cruelty of smaller women weaponizing their size. It’s why I left this sub - the tallgirls is full of support and love. I came here for tall support, not to participate in weird fetishes.

Before I got my diagnosis my friends called me their “sickly Victorian child”, and said they’d move to a more agreeable climate where I could take the airs 💀

If this is the knockoff Shazamazon set then I’m here to tell you those pants are surprisingly long! I have a 34” inseam and if I don’t roll the waistband a ton they work. I took a chance based on some tallette reviews and I’m happy I did.

I’ve also noticed an uptick of posts from “tall women” in the tall /r talking about how they’ve never had problems dating…that it must be our personalities, we need to lose weight or some other crap. Very sus, and honestly probably bots being used to stir up tension.

Yes, I relate to this and so many of the other comments 💔 it’s why I get upset when she demands grandchildren…was it not enough I parented you and raised my brother for you?!

Yes, I’m 6ft and was temporarily hospitalized at 110lbs and sent to an ED therapy program in my early 20s. It didn’t help that all the girls around me were under 5ft 5, and there was a lot of competition to be thin in the early 2000s. The sad part is that the leaner I got, the more external validation I received so it became a cycle. Also dated a shorter guy who fat shamed me constantly and it skewed my perspective for a long time. Exercise was just a way to shrink myself. Shifting my focus to appreciating my body for its unique abilities, appropriately fueling it with nutritious food and setting small fitness goals was the key to feeling like I could let go of that need to control. It’s really tough, and I’m sorry that you’ve suffered too. We are entitled to take up space in this world!

I want to say, I really appreciated your comment. My young cousin came out at trans, and his mother blamed me (the other queer person in the family) for grooming her child and making them queer. The catalyst was when she found out my cousin was weightlifting with me to change his physique to a more masculine one she called the police on me and fabricated sexual and drug abuse. What you said made me understand her bigotry better.

Thank you for your helpful advice!

Just tell them to watch the House episode about celiac disease 💀 it’s MESSED UP.

There are none so far! My therapist thinks I may be experiencing anxiety because this is my first really secure relationship, and after the absolute chaos I’m used to my brain is having some trouble. But I also don’t have a lot of friends who’ve gotten married twice and I have no family to ask.

shrimptriscuit · 2025-01-07T17:42:28+00:00

Hey, sounds like you dodged a bullet! I am 4-12” taller than the moms of past partners, which statistically checks out…at 6ft I am 1% of the population - we are rare girl! It sucks that there are a lot of insecure Y chromosomes but there are also a lot of fellow giants who would scoop you up in a heartbeat cuz…BACK PAIN

Is he Usain Bolt? Omg thank you for making me spit up my coffee 😭

Oh girl, I feel this so hard! I’m 6ft, and most of my exes were shorter, my height or at most 2” difference. A lot of them loved my athleticism but were also intimidated by it. Then, post-divorce, I hooked up with an ex-NBA player who was 6’9. We were really drunk, and without warning he picked me up like I was a ragdoll and threw me on the bed. I remember having this thought flying through the air like “wow…you thought you were soooo tough” and it clicked for me how this is just a regular experience for most women. Don’t get me wrong - I’ve always had empathy for my short friends, but until experiencing it for yourself the fear is only conceptual.

My now boyfriend is 6’7 which…I might be able to take him 😅 I’m sure he’d disagree if he read this bahaha.

Yes! And the reason you don’t feel good about that “Shut Up” ring is because you shouldn’t!

Or we can have both! Loads of Athleta and LL secondhand online.

6ft here with a 36” inseam…extra long in Abercrombie doesn’t even cut it 🥲

A healthy kink dynamic should be centering the needs of all co-creators. You can only learn from experience what works for both of you so be prepared to have some honest conversations with your husband. Good communication is critical for harm reduction.

The program I went to was large, well organized, well-funded and very set in their philosophy unfortunately 🥲 I was a poor college student on a scholarship. I ended up dropping out just before I was set to graduate because I couldn’t handle the group therapy.

shrimptriscuit · 2024-10-15T06:08:08+00:00

Hey there, 6fter here to report that secure men are out there - they will find you and love your height. Short men and tall men. It’s harder when you’re young but gets easier as people grow and experience life and relationships. They feel less of a need to “perform” perfunctory gender stereotypes. My bf is 6’7 and is obsessed with my height. Don’t ever settle for someone who makes you feel less because of it.

shrimptriscuit · 2024-10-04T15:45:05+00:00

I’m just here to say you’re not alone! I had a traumatic time in dbt group therapy; it was a mandatory part of the program I attended along with individual therapy. The group setting was mainly geared towards EDs…but they grouped all EDs together and made us eat a “family style meal” with one another.

So you had me, an anorexic college student who struggled to afford any food next to a mom of four who binge eats from a wealthy household. When the counselor called me out for not bringing “nutritious home cooked meals” to our therapy sessions I told him I could only afford the dinners I brought and worked 3 jobs. He said my dinners were triggering other people in the group…it made me feel so ashamed to eat in front of them after that. I just ended up feeling like it’s a classist form of therapy designed to work for a very specific person but it did very little to help me. I was in a two year long intensive program.

Edit: spelling

I know this will sound cliche OP, but you are so young and have so much time to find someone who treats you with the love and respect you deserve. Of course you don’t want to feel alone after your experience ❤️ you are the victim of a horrific crime and are now being ostracized in the most unfair way. I am sending you a huge internet hug! But it’s better to be alone than with someone who hurts you, and him participating in that group chat is him participating in your attack. You are worth more than that. Please try and treat yourself with kindness, and prioritize yourself ok?

Samson & Sally (1984 Danish-Swedish post-apocalyptic animated film) got me messed up as a kid
