[quote=Anonymous]Are your female friends all short?  it's easy to be self-conscious when the other women in your peer group are all dainty little things.  It's easy to feel ungainly when you are taller than your friends.  I've had that problem myself.  I'm *only* 5'8" but for a long time I wasn't crazy about being that tall.  I've been this tall since 5th grade, long before anyone else really started growing.  Sometime in my 20's or early 30's, I started to own it and now I'm totally ok with it.  I generally don't wear high heels because I'm a runner and don't like to do that to my feet, but when I do, I rock them.  It helps that I have other tall girls in my circle, several of whom are taller than me.  The only downside is that being tall definitely cuts the pool of men who are taller than me.  :-)

You need to start owning it.  This is something that can not and will not change, so own it.  Say to yourself, "yes, I am tall.  I am a tall, stately chick."  (or whatever words you like that don't sound totally weird.)  Yes, you can wear heels.  Yes, you'll be taller, but so friggin' what?  there are plenty of women (and men) out there who would love to be taller.  Find the right clothes that flatter you and wear whatever shoes look best with them.  And don't slouch.  Slouching totally ruins it.  Find some tall girlfriends to hang out with.  And know that if you're single, most of my very tall guy friends prefer to date tall girls.  [/quote]
