Is it normal that I'm having suicidal thoughts because of my height?

I’m a 19yo caucasian male and I’m 5’9. Being this short gives me such a big inferiority complex. I always see women taller than me, and it makes me feel a speck of dirt. I can’t live with myself and I hate myself. Should I just kill myself?

Answer #1

That is NEVER the answer. Most girls I know are under 5’9, I’m only 5’4! It is not normal to feel this way. I’m telling you right now that if you actually go through with it, you will be hurting so many people who love you. Think about your parents and your friends and your family… Please call the Hotline at 1-800-273-8255 they can help you.

Answer #2

You have so much to look forward to in your life!

Answer #3

I agree with Iffy. Height is NOTHING. Don’t go through with it! You have a whole life ahead of you. It’s not right to feel this way, and you’ll hurt so many people if you do that. Like Iffy said, think about you friends and family and everyone who loves you. It’ll be okay.

Answer #4

oh man, you don’t have to worry about this. You can go to those countries which short average height, then you don’t have to feel bad about yourself. Plus there are girls even shorter…shall they be perished? think about it.(China Investment Promotion http://en.qianzhan.com/report/detail/b3e624a6bb9b4f9d.html)

Answer #5

Answer #6

uhhh no be happy with what you have its like someone thinking there ugly cause there insecure so they dont wanna be here anymore,,,beauty is in the eye of the beholder plus ur not even short so idk why your saying that im 5’6 n i love it i am tall around people who are shorter and im short around tall people haha im like in the middle i love my height just be happy with how you are i think your pretty tall like idk why your upset about your height

Answer #7

Worldwide the average male height is 5’6” so you are above average. In the US the average male height is 5’10” so you are only a little under the national average. You are thinking about ending it all over an inch? If you don’t mind learning a new language you could always move to Spain or Italy where the average male height is 5’7” so you would be noticeably taller than average. All joking aside, you are about average height. You are probably the only person who thinks of you as being short. Also, it is more important for people to look up to you figuratively than literally.
