I'm tall for my ethnic group.

I love shopping because almost everything fits and I rarely have to alter my pants.

My mom, on the other hand is 5ft 2in and needs to hem everything.

I am 5 foot 6 inches. Always wanted to be 1 inch taller!! I think I am average height. I would hate to be any shorter.

5'-11" woman. I am tall. I hated it when I was a teen - it was horrible and I felt gawky all the time. I was also really skinny which didn't help my poor body image. Now it really doesn't matter to me and I wear heels when ever I want to and don't care how much taller it makes me.

5'4" so regular pants are too long even with heels and petite pants are a little bit too short. I don't feel short, but I guess I could use an extra inch or two of leg!

5'9" white woman here. I don't usually feel super tall. Most of the time, I'm mildly aware that I'm on the taller side. Every once in a while, it hits me as I walk through the store, that I'm taller than most of the women and similar in height to the not-so-tall guys.

5'2" white woman. I know I'm short but don't feel short (if that makes any sense). It doesn't phase me too much.

You are tall. OP here, I have a round face and so people assumed I was chubby as a kid, sister was rail thin and sickly, so compliments coming my way, were "Oh, she is so healthy looking." Yep, like in the show "Keeping up Appearance." Then at 15, 16, I slimmed down, don't know why but lost weight or gained height, I don't remember. Now I am the thinner one and sis is 20lbs heavier than me. Not that it matters, just as an example how things work out. It sounds like you found great self esteem when it mattered, a bit later on.

I'm 5'4" white female. I'm the shortest person in my family, but I feel average height. My mom is 5'7" and my SILs are taller than my mom. When i'm with my family I feel shorter because I am the shortest person. My friends all seem to be close to my height. I didn't notice any of them being much taller or shorter than me. My one friend is VERY short, so I feel tall when i'm with her! She's Asian and she isn't even 5'. She is very attractive though, so being short isn't a problem for her at all.

Like others here don't really feel short but know I am. One thing that sucks about being short is weight gain is instantly noticeable!

It's also harder to lose it than a tall person who can eat the same amount as someone our height and stay thin

Exactly.

5'10" Female, white. My best feature by far is my posture. Since kindergarten, my mom has said to me, "Don't slump! Nothing worse than a tall woman who's not proud of her height." I'm not sure I'm proud of my height exactly, b/c I had nothing to do with it, but I don't have a hang-up about it. Other parts of my body, sure, but not that.
