[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you considered medication?  It sounds a bit like OCD that you are ruminating on your height so much and can’t move past it.

I am 6-0.  I have females in my family taller than me.  I understand what you are saying and am not at all negating there are parts of it that can be hard.  But also you can move past this and have a great life.

I would also recommend dating apps where you can make your height clear and date guys who know your height and everyone’s interests and intentions are more clear.  I don’t think 6-3 women are going to have a random meet cute with a guy.  But you’ll meet someone great if you are a bit more intentional.[/quote]

I do not have OCD or BDD .  I don’t want to be constantly reminded about my height however people do it all the time  .  I understand woman my height are rare , but as a person who feels uncomfortable in my body being reminded of it all the time makes me feel horrible .

As a fellow tall woman please be more empathetic . I’m not saying I’m oppressed or anything like that ,  I am being human . Once you’re taller than 99 percent of the population it takes a mental toll on you .

If I was your height I wouldn’t even be insecure in my height nor would I type this up . There’s a world of a difference between 6’0 and 6’3.5 . [/quote]

Did my response lack empathy?   I said I understand what you are saying and am not negating parts of it are hard.  Look not being able to move past it and find some perspective and joy in life is not normal.  That’s what you came here and asked.  So I’m telling you. Your brain is not letting you process and move on so my genuine advice is ask for help and different help if the help you’ve sought isn’t working.[/quote]

Also even as a 6 foot tall woman people remind you of it all the time.  It’s not great.  I get it.  [/quote]
