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!!!
I just smile each time i see comments like this cos its just a phase of your life you will soon overcome and i can bet it you will love yourself more dan anyone. First of all Im taller and older than you. 6 feet 5 inches to b precise. People have bad mouth can turn your treasure to trash if you dont know the value of what youve got. Have a mindset that your height is an asset, nobody can harass you if you can maintain a healthy lifestlye with it with small build. Eat well and if na ordinary press up u fit do, try and do it daily. Eat well so you will add weight. With time u will appreciate what youve got.

OP, I was also long in my late teens...about 6ft1..and I was super skinny. Girls loved me like that. I don't know what you are talking about saying you are depressed about your height. Some people would kill for that height you have.

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.

I'm touched man.
I'm 24, 1.92(6ft 4) and weigh 72kg and I really wish i could gain more weight but one thing I have come to realize is that my height is a gift. I use to be shy growing up especially during my 19s to early age 23 cus girls will taunt you, now i just rub it one their faces.

We tall guys need to stick together.

To the tall guys in the house, do you have this sense of joy when you sight someone as tall or taller than you when you go to a public place ir us it just me?

Op,i can relate to how you feel,it happened to me also and i was around your age too,dont worry its a normal phase,you will pass through the phase ,i too was feeling so bad about my height back then but dont worry its one of the best tbing that will happen to you, and pleaee make sure that whenever you walk dont bend your back,so that you will have a great posture

Yeah, he should make sure he stands tall...no bending. I'm about the same height with him, and when I was his age, I can't count how many girls walked up to me and told me they just live my height and the fact that I don't bend.

When you change your mental attitude towards your height you'll start being proud of it. And you said you are not skinny so I don't get it. Many guys will want to trade places with you. When you walk into a place they automatically feel intimidated, then they look at your face and you are not confident, you've spoilt everything. I'm 6.4 and enjoying it. Be proud of it, e no easy to get.

Whenever I see someone as tall as I am or taller I walk up to him and be like "o boy u no fit pass me, turn make we measure". And they do the same most times.

Uncle, I'm a female, 24, I'm 6'1. One inch shorter than you.
Do you know what it feels like to be a tall female? The disadvantages are not funny at all.
You're a man. Yours is better. Far better.

I love tall girls. Just looking at them gives me joy. smiley I'm 6ft1 myself... although closer to 6ft2.

And u opened a new account just to say this??



6 foot 2 is normal tall, it's a great build and there's nothing about it to make a man ashamed, ur self esteem problem likely does not have anything to do with ur height.

Back in 2007, There's this guy in federal government college enugu, in SS3 @ age 17, he was 6 foot 9 and his junior sister was 6 foot 3.

Last time I knew he 7 foot 3 and wen he bends to pass thru a door, he doesn't need to bend only his head, but his back as well.

There's nothing wrong wit ur height, cheer up

Geez! Are you trying to advice him or scare him?

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

The best guys in the NBA are not always 6'7. presently, there are more great players under 6'7 than over 6'7. It's not about height alone, a lot of things are involved.

Sure, in positions like Center, Power forward and small forward. positions like Point guard and shooting guard doesn't require you to be tall. Nate Robinson wasn't up to 5'10, Allen Iverson was 6'10, Muggsy Bogues wasn't up to the 6ft. infact, 90% of the starting point guard in NBA today aren't up to 6'4.

Kyle Lowry, Steph curry, Ricky rubio, rajon rondo, trey young, Russel Westbrook, Lou Williams and alot more aren't up to 6'4 but these guys ball so hard.
