Whenever I tell someone that I wish i was shorter, they are always taken a back(being masculine presenting). I am just over 6 ft, in my country, that’s a bit above average height. Its not like I am a gaint or anything but I am always aware how intimidating I look. Also, the country where I live doesn’t feel like it build for people my size. Mini-van for transportation that squish my knees, ceiling that are a bit too low for my taste, showers space that’s too small.

But also, I feel like a bumbling idiot (I suspect I have Dysprixa) and hate standing out so much. I may have Body dysmorphia. Its like how I would like to be seen and how I feel, are the exact opposite to how I seen. I feel small, soft, in a relationship, I would prefer to take on the "feminine " role. I feel nothing like a man.

Anyone else relates to this.

    I wouldnt have a terrifying phobia of ceiling fans.

    I have broken five ceiling fans. two with my knuckles, two with my wrists, one with my head (it was in a trailer).

    I live in a house with 10’ ceilings now, so not so much of a problem unless I go to the basement (watch your head).

    I wouldnt be crippled for days after having to travel on an airplane.

    I refuse to fly anywhere I could take a train instead for this exact reason.

    I wouldnt have a bad back form having to bend over almost double just to do normal everyday things like cook and wash my hands.

    don’t forget bathroom mirrors. I haven’t seen my reflection above my chin in a year because I just got tired of bending over to see myself. when I shave it’s just easier to use the selfie cam on my phone.

      Oh yeah, that reminds me of the chronic neckpain from being in a car and having to tilt your head so theres enough buffer space that you dont crush your spine against the roof on every bump
