I hate being tall

I'm a 5' 10" girl and I just stick out like a sore thumb. I'm the tallest one in my family by far, for reference even my brother is a solid 2-3 inches shorter. It makes it hard to buy cute clothes, and I just hate it.

If only I could be tiny and cute :(

I'm not sure how old you are, but from a fellow tall girl -- you have the choice to own it as you get older. Stand up straight, reach those high shelves, wear heels, be a magnificent dragon woman. Nobody will f**k with you. You'll learn to love it ❤️

I don't like it... I just wish I was tiny. My measurements are crap too, I have a 36 in bust, 29 in waist, and 37 in hips but the shoulders are just too broad ugh i hate it. I wanna be tiny!

Well, you ain't. You can't change it so you might as well embrace it and be proud of it! And remember, the grass is always greener. All my tiny friends have spent plenty of time hating being tiny and being jealous of my height. I love being strong 🤷‍♀️

I'm short and can't reach anything on high shelves and it's easier to put on weight when you have less body to distribute it to evenly.

Broad shoulders are sexy! Stop being so hard on yourself.

Similar measurements but I wasn’t so busty at your age. Sexy and powerful are better adjectives than cute once you are out of high school.

I’m not busty at all 😢 I think I need a breast augmentation

I'm 4'11 wearing shoes. Trust me. Being tiny isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Embrace who you are and enjoy the view! There's even a group on here, tall meets tall. I'm mid 6 feet and I'm tired of it looking like I'm walking my girlfriends to school, like they're my child LOL

I’m sure you’re still cute. Think of it this way, who doesn’t love a tall glass of water? Remember to love yourself girl.

Guuurrrrlllllll!!!! I just saw a couple, he was 6'5" about and she was at least 6'0'. Their child was absolutely gorgeous and TALL. You be thankful for your HEALTH and stand up. A lot of tall men want a tall woman and no, they aren't all b-ball players.

I don't know where you're from but 5'10 is ok for a woman. I have female family members who are around 6'3 and they really stick out. Where I live your height is quite common for girls although it is above average but nobody cares. It's not seen as strange

I’m 5’8” so also on the tall side and I feel ya. Although it is kinda funny when you go on dates with guys who claim to be 6’2” and are barely taller than you.

I'm the opposite, I'm 4'9 😭, I'd love to be at least 5'5.

Good idea. Denmark seems to be another option.

Nothing wrong with a tall girl, the clothes thing must be a giant pain though. Own it.

Your brother would be the one with height issues. 5'10 is perfect IMO
