You must wear heels at all times. I have several friends who are about 5'2" and NONE of them would say they are average, they would all instantly say they are short.

+1. I am told frequently that I'm tall, even though I feel pretty average in height these days. I think I have a lot of short female friends .

5'7 and a mix of Irish, English and Ashkenazi.

Felt tall as an early teen as I reached this height at 14 but then everyone grew past me and I subsequently don't feel very tall. But not short, either.

I'm 5'7" and until recently considered myself the taller side of average. These days I feel like many of the 18-25 year olds I see are very tall, so I think I am more just average. I am 35, Ashkenazi Jewish.

I used to want to be shorter because it seemed like all the men I dated were short. But DH is 6' so without that cultural desire to be a lot shorter than my guy, I wouldn't mind being an inch or so taller.

5'4 female Eastern and Western European ancestry

Feel to be average in height. At work many women are shorter than me and many are taller. Married a tall man and both of my children are going to pass me by the time they are in six and seventh grade I am glad for them as like you, 0P, I wish i was taller. I always wanted to be somewhere between 5'6 to 5'8 which I feel are the perfect height. Sorry if there are any grammarical errors I am on my phone

5'10", woman, black.
I consider myself tall and have always liked it, never had that hunched shoulders phase that a lot of taller girls go through in junior high when the boys haven't yet caught up height-wise.
I have other insecurities, to be sure, but height isn't one of them.

5'11". White. German Scottish English

Consider myself tall. Like OP I hated bring tall until I began to work. It has been an advantage to me

5'11" woman with a French background. I haven't always liked my height (middle and hs), but now that stores are making tall clothes I'm fine and even enjoy it.

5'8" and consider myself tall, though not excessively so. It's rare that I find myself looking 'up' to someone (my husband is only slightly taller, and definitely shorter if I wear real heals). Irish/German.

OP here, I do wish I was as tall as you and other taller ladies! I know it shouldn't matter but it does. I am not obsessing over it or anything, but when many of your female friends are over 5'8" and many even taller I guess it messed me up when I was a teen.

5'9". I consider myself on thr tall side of average. I wear high heels that put me at 6 or over and I love it!!!

5'2" female, white. I consider myself to be on the shorter side, but to me, that's a good thing-I was a gymnast.

5'8". I feel on the taller side of average. English ancestry. DH is 6'5" and my sons are 6'3" and 6'6" so I feel short at home .

I'm 5'4". I feel short, especially when trying to buy pants or skirts. My guy is 6'4", which makes me feel even shorter, but not in a negative way. I'm also the shortest of my siblings. I hate the top shelf at the grocery store, but my height is not otherwise a problem.
