Am 19yrs old and I am 188cm i.e 6.2ft. I feel so awkward about my height. I feel that am no longer tall but long, for a very long time now i hated everything about my height to the extent I feel very sad and depressed every day.

As a result of that, I've lost confidence in myself and also my self-esteem is nothing to write home about.

This has made me an introvert and I don't socialize.

So pls tall dudes out there, I want to know how you deal with your self esteem and confidence and also how you approach comments about your heights cuz am gradually going insane!!!


DM me. Been in that shoe before

DBlackCeazer:
I totally understand the op's plight. Growing up in Naija as a tall person wrecks your self esteem, you hear words like Dogo, longy, tallest etc. When I was much skinnier, a friend once said I could be swept away by the wind. Lol, and I am just 6ft 75kg o. I just ignore people who make funny comments about my height and hit the gym once in a while.

I know exactly what this guy is going through because I once went through same. We nigerians are d worst at "bad mouthing" our fellow humans.

If u r an average dancer in Nigeria, people will yab u to "f##k off" d stage. That same average dance will earn u a standing ovation abroad.

By my estimation, it will take 50 years before Naija starts getting it.

To d op @Adekun33, don't ever bend, I will kee u if I catch u doing that nonsense.

Girls will say bad things about ur height but someday they will come to famz u. You will feel neglected as your friends will not like to walk beside u, but join a basketball team, u will surprised that everyone will suddenly want u in their team even tho your game is wack.

Hit the gym but don't kill yourself for muscles. Focus on having d right body posture. Don't carry it if it's too heavy. Have u seen d boxer they call Wilder? He is tall n slim but way stronger than boxers that have twice his muscle mass. Muscles no b strength.

You will be fine eventually. I wish I had someone to tell me this earlier so consider yourself luckier than me.

Now, let me give you a glimpse into your future. See my attached screenshot, that will be you too soon. A girl sent that message to me just yesterday. Not bragging, but if Tonto dike sees this girl, tonto would have already said "good evening ma" before realizing that she just fall her own hands.

I love u man. You will be fine. Don't mind all those short people telling u u are ungrateful, they are just putting their mouth in something they nothing about. only a tall I can actually advise a guy. I am 6ft5 by d way.

Are you in primary school?

Nothing worse than being a short man.

Re: I'm Depressed Over My Height by Truthisit: 5:21pm On Nov 26, 2019
But the best guys in NBA are mostly the 6-7 feet plus guys.
Check Akeem Olajuwon, Michael Jordan, Maggic Johnson, O'neal, Lebron James etc
tiptoe1:


There are NBA players shorter than 6ft just that they're not much. Kay fielder and Isaiah Thomas are examples

Ingest and you will never be depressed again.

Re: I'm Depressed Over My Height by Meklex(m): 5:25pm On Nov 26, 2019
I understand your concerns at OP. I was a short dude (5'4) during my secondary school days and all of a sudden I was 5'9, that was in 2009/2010 before I entered the university.

My parents and siblings taunted me tire. Then I entered the university and people were envying my height.

I am currently around 6'1/2 and in my mid 20s and I have had girls interested in me because of my height.

The only thing you should do is to dress nice, eat well, walk with swag and confidence. I am slim too.

Re: I'm Depressed Over My Height by Robinto01: 5:35pm On Nov 26, 2019
Yours is better. I am 6.4 ft tall & I am happy for that. People respect very well for my height & girls do stare at me most times. Hit the gym for like 2 hours & your self esteem would be like an eagle in the sky.

Alaye, C Ronaldo is your height, see where he is today. Diego Costa is your height, see where he is today. Even Pogba is taller than you, see where he is today. Aubumeyang, good players and the likes, most of them are 6 or 6 plus, go and research on them and get your confidence from them.
Re: I'm Depressed Over My Height by sisisioge: 5:40pm On Nov 26, 2019
Hmmm...you're probably still very skinny, which is normal, thus your embarrassment. A time will come when some weight will sit on you and you would be proud...this reminds me of one of my paddies. You will be fine jare, be patient.
