Sometimes being a few centimeters shorter than your friends can really hit your confidence. People can be very cruel to others who are not so tall. All this pressure can leave you with very low self-esteem and self-esteem. If you want to build your confidence again, this is the article for you.
Step
Part 1 of 3: Sweeping away the Negative
Step 1. Make a joke first
When you are short, people will make jokes about it. They make jokes to make you feel bad. But if you're the first to make a joke, if you take part in self-deprecating humor, they're less likely to joke about you. This will also make them like you more because it will be obvious that you have a good sense of humor, and people like that.
- "Would you like to go shopping with me? I'm tired of having to rely on that creepy guy in aisle three to get shampoo on the top shelf."
- "I may be shorter than Woody Allen but also much more attractive."
Step 2. Don't mind the small body
People will tease you, telling you that you look very young or very small, but don't worry about that. We hate looking younger when we're young, but short people can look younger even when they're old, and that's amazing. You will look young and sexy once they start to look old and fat.
Step 3. Love your uniqueness
When people make fun of you, show them that they are average size and who wants to be average? Not you! You are unique and don't fit that average label. Boring!
Step 4. Get more boys/girls
You may be teased for not being able to find someone to date because of your size. But what they forget is that there are many others who are small or average in size. Shorter/average men will want short girls because they don't want to date girls who are taller than them, and average sized girls will be happy to date guys of the same size (because kissing just got so much better!).
Step 5. Be too great a member of a team
Another common joke is that you will always be the last resort in sports. But don't worry about that. Tell them that the reason you should be picked last is because picking you up early would give the team an unfair advantage: you're too great to have on the team all at once and they'll have to balance you first with the bad guys.
Part 2 of 3: Welcoming Your Stature
Step 1. Give better phrases
You are not short. It's unpleasant to think of yourself as a short person. So find another term or phrase to use when people call you short. Make funny sentences and you will get lots of laughs and people will like you even more. So now when someone calls you short you'll be able to say, "I'm not short, I'm…":
- "…a comfortable size for your trip."
- "…vertical challenging!"
- "…loss of height."
- "…cute size."
- "…play it safe with gravity."
- "…enjoying the better weather down here."
Step 2. Get nice clothes
You may hear that companies don't really make clothes for short women, but don't think this will stop you from getting clothes. For a number of reasons, short women have far more options. First, you can shop in the teens section, which often has cute clothes that are cheaper than items in the women's section. Second, smaller sizes are less in demand, so you'll have a better chance of finding items on the shelf or in the basket. And also unusual sizes, such as very small clothes, which are on sale the most.
Step 3. Don't worry about shirts and pants that are too long
Yes, your pants drag on the floor. That sucks. But you have one option open to you but not to tall people: the clothes can be hemmed. You can learn to sew (by hand or by machine) and you'll have clothes that fit in no time. You can also ask a tailor to do it. It's not as expensive as it sounds.
Step 4. Enjoy all the space you have
Everyone would struggle to sit on a crowded plane or train. Meanwhile, to you, everything feels like first class. Try stretching your legs if you can! Poor thing!
Step 5. Make the most of your innocent appearance with all it has
Because you look more like a child, people who are older and even your age will think that you are really innocent. You can use this to your advantage and escape all kinds of difficulties and situations that you don't want to get into.
Step 6. Realize that height is not something you have to have to be beautiful
There are many short and beautiful people in the world. Plus, if you're small and so are your limbs, you can be pretty cute, and that's super cute. So don't be too sad because it's short. If you're a boy, remember that men are judged for many things besides their looks – jockeys are great athletes too. Skills, success, fitness, brains and resources can make you very attractive to women. In addition, short men and tall women are suitable when together. No matter what other people say, if you are a good person and have a healthy mindset, you can conquer this world.
Step 7. Play the sport you excel at
Football, rugby, cycling, gymnastics, skating: there are many sports where short stature is a huge advantage! Take advantage of this and increase your confidence by becoming the person everyone on their team wants to be.
Part 3 of 3: Build Your Confidence
Step 1. Love another short person
A lot of really cool people are actually really short. Tom Cruise is only 170 cm! Daniel Radcliffe is only 165 cm! As for women, many famous actresses are only 160 cm tall or shorter, such as Vanessa Hudgens (155 cm), Reese Witherspoon (155 cm), and Snookie only 142 cm!
Step 2. Find the good things about your body
Find the things you like about your appearance. Maybe exercise and get a nicer body overall. Realistically, you have to keep in mind that when people are looking for a partner for a serious relationship, height will usually become less important after general appearance, personality, and work ethic. Find confidence in other things that others will find attractive and you won't have to worry about your height.
Step 3. Be proud of things other than your body
You should develop confidence in things other than appearance, because after all this is a healthier mindset. Learn cooking skills, travel and have a lot of experience, or even just by doing something great like volunteering. This will make you proud of yourself and build confidence. Work hard and build a good career if you can. In fact, a rich wife/lover automatically becomes beautiful, believe it or not. Rich men even more so.
Step 4. Dress well according to your height
You can make a short body really nice. Just wear clothes that fit and make you look proportionate. Girls can wear high heels if they want, and guys can sometimes get a few inches higher than platform shoes. Take advantage of what you have and you'll find that most people won't notice.
You should also remember that while you can make yourself taller, really tall people can't make themselves shorter. You get a better deal
Step 5. Stop hating yourself
You are awesome! People will see you the way you want to be seen, so when you start to think you're great, others will follow. Tell yourself every day how amazing you are, give yourself good care because you deserve it, stop internal dialogue about how bad you are, and maybe make a list of all the things you like about yourself.
If there's not much you like about yourself, try! You are more than your height, just like everyone else. I mean, if height were all that mattered, nobody would like Tom Cruise. Find reasons to be proud of yourself because you should be proud of yourself. You are great
Step 6. Understand that tall people also have self-confidence issues
Tall people have all sorts of problems of their own to deal with and things that make them uncomfortable. This is a great example of being careful about what you expect, so be happy with yourself as you are.
Step 7. Realize that you may still be able to grow
If you are young, even 18 or 19, you have to remember that you may still be taller. Many people are "slow-growing" and gain a few extra inches later than people their age. If you notice that your parents are of average height or taller, chances are you'll catch up in time.
Tips
- If you are a child/teen and still growing, make sure to eat a healthy diet, fortified with vitamins and minerals. You never know!
- Invisible heels can quietly increase your height by a few inches.
- Remember that cute sizes are much better than regular sizes. Funny is better!
- Don't talk too much about your height, no one really cares. Your mindset is everything, you can work towards a good career and use the money to enjoy life and buy good things.
- Humans live a long and happy life with a short body size, you are human, you deserve what God has given you. All good things will happen in your life as they happen to tall and average people. No prejudice.
