How do I even start?

Ok, I don’t really know but I’m beginning to have esteem issues majorly because of my stature.

I’m 21 years old, 5’5-5’6 so not too tall. Fair in complexion, Intelligent and good looking

I always feel that people always look down on me like one small boy, because of my stature, I look younger than my age I think

I don’t even have beards, maybe that’s why. For example, today at the university I’m serving currently as a corps member, one of the staffs I was sent to, who I told I’m a corper was surprised and said I look young. She asked of my age and I told her and she just nodded.

Truly, I’m the youngest among all the corpers posted there at the university but I think my look made it worse and look like one small boy.

Prior to that, when I entered the gate of the university and wanted to sign the staffs form, one of the guard there just talked to me anyhow and said ‘what did I know I’m signing’, until I told him I’m a corper not a student before he changed his expression and allowed me.

I really feel bad you know, reason I avoid girls seriously (I’m an introvert too). Some look at you like you’re young to them and because girls my age are usually bigger in size. I’m doing well financially though at my age.

Even the students at the uni all look bigger than me.

The corper guys there at my lodge are all older than me and the shorter ones have beards.


I feel awkward to be honest, really tiring for me.
Sorry for the long epistle, need to pour my heart out

Op, at 21 you're still young to be begrudging yourself of looking this young.

If you don't have hormonal deficiencies then,trust me you'll still look big with time.

Start wearing fake beards or tell your fellow corpers to donate some beard strands from their own.

I don’t have any hormonal deficiencies. Maybe I just wished I was a little taller. It’s all good anyway, just wanted to put my heart out

If you don't have any hormonal deficiencies then you'll still grow in size at 21,not necessarily your height.

Meanwhile you can improve your self esteem in the mean time by wearing bogus but fitting dressing, improve on your oratory (speech), Be elegant & attractive in your outfit and have the understanding that you're not your own creator.
There are some things in our life that are beyond our control or rather an Act of God, so accept such with dignity and move on after all you have people who you're far better than them.

Truth be told, a lot of 21 year old in Nigeria still look like kids. That you have graduated doesn't necessarily mean you should now be respected. Most 21 year olds are still students and people treat them as such.

That being said, stature should not determine your confidence. People will always judge others by looks but what will give you respect will be your aura and how you carry yourself. Always show confidence when dealing with people. That's the way to successfully gain respect as a small stature individual.

at 21,you can't possibly look younger than your age..


Na small boy you be.

You are still quite young. Abi u wan dey look way older than ur age? Just continue on the path of self improvement. Trust me having a good self esteem comes from the inside. You can reduce your chattering around, listen more talk less. When you are walking on the street or anywhere at all, raise your head and walk majestically like u own the world.


You should hit the gym. Very important.

U must be from the West or akwa ibom

Your self -confidence matters most.....you at what you present yourself to be before people.

You're are doing great at 21.....the sky is your starting point bro
