I had a co-worker who once remarked that I was a midget (5 ft) and it bothered me, although she said it kiddingly.  I told her no, I wasn't a midget, I was short because there are characteristics that midgets or little people have that I didn't.  I told her I was short but otherwise just like her who looked to be about 5 ft 6.  No offense to little people but there is a difference.

Re: How tall are you?

[ Edited ]

I am 5ft 3 and always loved being small. I'm lucky enough to be a proportionate petite, so if I can find petite clothes, they fit great.The only thing I don't like is tall people who for some reason feel the need to point out that you are short, something that we have no control over.

5'8".  I don't think of myself as being too tall.

I’m just under 5’2”.   Most of my friends are close to my height or a little taller, a few are quite a bit taller.

 

 I used to be the shortest in my family but both my sis and my mom are shorter than me now.  

 

My sil used to represent models and she told me 5’7” is the shortest you can be if you want to be considered for a job as a petite model.

4 feet 10 1/2 inches.Weight 115lbs. Love my height. I am  runt of the family. My sons are over 6 feet( They inherited their father size.)To me height  is only physical has nothing to do with character. My mother always said I was a elm tree who through  I was a mighty oak tree.In others words my height did not limit me.

 

In school I was picked up on due to my small size, that only made me stronger.l married a very tall man because  I see myself as everyone equal.

 

The only issue I have been is why is their a cabinet over the refrigerator, that cabinet to me would be  useless,except I have my stool to reach objects or things I cannot reach.

 

Love your height. No matter if you are over by 6 feet or under 4 feet.😉I am sixty three,and feel 23. My life is just beginning. Long life,good health, and without saying strong faith,and family.
