Adekun33: I'm not a guy, so please forgive me for commenting. You don't even need to reply. I have a feeling others out there may need some encouragement too. I like to encourage...be it male or female. Know that, God didn't make any mistakes when creating you! Do you know how many guys would kill to have your height? In many countries, it's mainly the tall guys who are highly sought after by the ladies. You are you...tall, unique, the only one with your specific DNA..aside from your parents' gift to you. There is nothing like a "confident in his/her own skin" male..or female. When you possses that, others will see it. You have folks out there, who--struggle with their own insecurities-- and in turn, release that onto others. It's called "displacement theory". They try to belittle and shame folks based on their own inner struggles and feelings of low "worth". In actuality, those are the people who should be pitied and loved the most..cause they need it. Sure, every human has some physical trait that he/she would like to change. But at some point, you gotta "love you".. and accept that this is who you are. Sure, they'll always be someone trying to "body-shame"... let them. Let not their WORDS penetrate you. The best way to deal with nastiness/petty insults, is to kill with "kindness". Stand even taller and walk like you know you are royalty. You are very young, and can't see this now..but trust me, you'll come into your own and look back at this phase and laugh Ok..I'm through. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Adekun33: This takes me back bro. I was like you, 190cm @ age 20. I looked so lanky and tall. Infact I was told ladies were scared to approach me�. That's all in the past now. It's easy to say don't let it affect your esteem and other bs. But truth is that it does not actually matter. Go out more, get a hobby that keeps you fit, with time you get bulky and have a good physique. The knock on effect is tremendous. Things get easier. And also develop a wicked sense of humor to sarcastically reply those who ask you stupid questions regarding your height. |

I sprung to that height like overnight when I was 15.... mad skinny....if I wasn't careful...people would grab me thinking I was a spear. Muscle mass would come naturally later ...maybe not much... but you just would not look as lanky as your body mature. Be active to help develop and strengthen the muscles and keep your frame erect. Sit at home you would become a tall droopy fragile momma looking guy. Be active...fake part in sporting activities.... that's what I did... football.... tennis...volleyball...a little basketball.... whatever sport was around. You need to appreciate your height.... I did even more recently when I got a new friend..... she is 2 full inches taller than I. I am not comfortable walking out with her...tall me wish I were taller. Do not even think of taking products to build muscle mass.... your organs are not programmed for that..... let your body develop naturally 1 Like |

I wonder what the average male height in Nigeria is for you to feel that awkward at 6'2. Not sure what advice to give here but I don't think "height" is the reason for you self-esteem issues. 2 Likes |

Your problem is not your height,your problem is that you haven't realized who you are and what you came to do in this world to do.KNOW THY SELF! |
Re: I'm Depressed Over My Height by windhunter(m): 2:54pm On Nov 26, 2019 |
Bro you are blessed with height. You should consider playing basketball or modeling. Being tall should rather boost your self esteem. |

You need to discover yourself. Playing basketball with your height is an added advantage. Try and locate a pitch where you can put your blessing (height) into use, before long you'll discover how people will besiege you for friendship. Good luck. |

Adekun33: One,you are already outstanding. If you are in school, try be the best in academics. Your concern should be the best in whatever you do,not your height. And also take the advice of folks who speak you to hit the gym..do that and make sure you always read books and keep your stomach flat. |

Adekun33: Height and leadership are correlated, research has shown. “ Most people seem to see tall men as more persuasive, impressive and capable than average. One survey found that male Fortune 500 chief executive officers were almost 10 times more likely to be 6ft 2ins or taller compared with the average American man...” https://www.theguardian.com/science/2011/oct/18/voters-tall-politicians-leadership You already have an inherent advantage. Use it. |

Ewo bobo yi sa? O den sebi swegbe!!! Eleda o! You've got an irrepressible asset- height- and you're running low on self-confidence.Come on,get a grip! Sa ra giri! Why don't you look at the bright side of things? I'm also of the same height,now in my mid 40s.But around 22 or so ,I started lifting weight and the self esteem that enveloped me till this day is just amazing. You can toe the same line or take up a sport. Use that weapon-because I see it as one- to rule your world. |

Adekun33: Bros.. I had wanted to yab you earlier but something crossed my mind. You might have not mingled with the right people or probably you're misinformed. Being tall is an asset. Take it or leave it. And thank goodness you're not obese. This is what I have for you.. Hit the gym or possibly engage in workouts that will help you build your body. You don't have to be all muscular but adding some bits of weight ( with balanced diets) to your body would definitely make you one heck of model. Like someone rightly said, you could either consider being a model or a basketball player; no necessary though but trust me, you'd definitely have a body to drool over. Above all, set your sights on a goal and achieve something worthwhile. Remember, Money answereth all things. #Peace |

You just proved that anybody can be tall if he is born by tall parents, but not everybody can be wise. |

Adekun33:Sharply locate stadium or any university, look for people that plays basketball. You will realize what a gift God has given you Snub anyone that talks negatively about your height, they can only say their views which is their right. Just entertain positive critism when you're in the mood cause no one is an island. Basketball will give you stamina |

Start asking questions like:
What activity or work would I love to do?
If I die today what will be my greatest fulfillment?
When you discover who you are,you would be grateful for your height |
