What Do You Do If You're Feeling Depressed Because You're Short

Before I had the limb lengthening surgery, I often hoped to become taller. I used to be 5'7 1/2" and now I'm 5'11". I know that my previous height was still good when compared to other guys who are 5'4" or 5'6".

But you know it's all relative. It is all about perception of life. Sure, some people make fun of you being short but that's it. Other than that you're a good guy or girl. Honestly, now that I'm 5'11", sometimes I still wear a 1-inch shoe lift, don't you think this is crazy. I often remind myself that I should be lucky that I'm already this height. I also know some of the people who had limb lengthening surgery still wanna grow taller even they already have gained 3 inches.

Just think about greed. We already have all we have in life to survive but we still want more. We don't focus on the good things we already have. Regarding love life, it's true that I have become more attractive because now that I am taller. However the person you will really like (in the end) is the person that matches your personality, dreams and goals in life.

So hang in there. If you'd like to undergo limb lengthening later in life, that is up to you. I don't think there is something wrong with it. If it would make you a happier person, then why not. I think that I become a better part of the society because I can appreciate other people now simply because I can appreciate myself.
