i want to become shorter
(55 discussions)
Hi, I’m 22 years old, female, 5 feet 11 inches tall. I’m very uncomfortable with my height and I have been through some personal trauma because of this. I want to know if there is any way to decrease my height, even by a couple of inches. I’m very desperate. Please help me. Thank you very much.

Join a group for tall people and meet someone taller than you. Short of cutting off your legs you cannot decrease your height. P.S. I'm from Utah and have never seen so many tall women and men here...maybe a move is in your future?

I’m 16 and I’m 5’10 inches tall. I absolutely hate it. It’s way too tall. I get so uncomfortable when I’m around short people. It makes me feel so bad about my height. I wish I was 5’6 or 5’7 or 5’8. I want to shrink 3 or 4 inches.

Learn to love and embrace who you are. We are all different and always will be. It’s hard to do in your younger years, I’ve always hated something about myself. Now I love who I am. It gets easier in time. Good luck

You are already short ? But you can’t be short unless you get your bone removed and they give you a new bone but I don’t think that it’s possible… Be confident about your height.

You guys should be really proud of your height! I’m 5’9 and I still wear heels…Being tall is an amazing feature which loads of girls would kill to have.

You’re all going about this wrong. Becoming insecure over a few inches. Have poise, confidence and be assured that you have the same right to look others in the eye.And eventually they’ll think more about what type of person you are then your body. And they won’t be able to forget your face after doing so.

Is there any possible ways of getting shorter from 2 to 5 cm? Maybe special food or drinks can help, medicine or surgery? Do anyone have any advices?If people can get taller so why we can not become shorter? Maybe scientis are going to find some new methods. Thanks to everyone

Hi I’m a guy 23 and when I was 18 I also had the same issue with my height. I did some heavy squat to shorten my legs and now I have ended up with a degenerative disease in my left leg. Trust me it is not worth it.

How can I become shorter????!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jianwei
sorry, I don’t think there’s an answer for losing heightbut good luck for finding better answer ,i’m male 17 years old .. already had a height of 183cmmany girls dislikes my height, all rejects are my height problemthey would say ” you’re too tall for me “
kyomi
i know how you feel .. I wish there was an answer to become shorter.i’m just 14 and I’m the tallest girl in my class, I’m _very tall and I hate it, all my friends are like “normal height”.. no, I hate to say “normal height”, there are no normal. we are all normal, just a little bit different. I adore tall guys, but I’m not sure am I ever gonna find anyone.. it would be more helpful if there were tall people around me. I hate it when my friends make fun of my height, I know they’re just joking but it feels bad. you know, when you are so uncomfortable with something it doesnt really help that someone is there saying “hey hows the weather up there?”.but hey you people! have you noticed that you’re not alone, you’re not like the only tall person in the world! like everyone here is tall, we have the same problem! we just have to be proud, even though its hard. I used to cry ’cause I was so tall, I hated it so much and I still do, but hey, that’s just us !be happy and be proud !

You can become shorter but you will need to make shorter also your arms to looks proportional or you would looks like a manky .. but well I had a problem when I was about your age, I am 6’1 and today I am proud of my high, it make me more special.. sometimes it is pain when pple ask you about things but you get used to that so don’t worry, tall girls are always IN and many shorter guys love it 🙂 my b-friend is 6’8 so we make a great couple .. you can imagine the faces on the street .. but that’s what make us unique
pam
OMG get over being tall I’m a girl and i’m 5’11. I wear high heels every weekend, some people are rude but who cares its not like they’re perfect!!! as for those people who are 5’3. etc and talking about leg shortening thats the craziest things I have ever heard!!!Be confident!!!

My girlfrieng has the same problem too.She’s near the 5’9″. Three month ago she started to drink strong tea and coffe.Some people say that it reaaly works. Now she’s 5’8″ but she wants to become 5’7″ or shorter. I don’t know how to help her
SarahMH
I can’t believe that any guy would want to become shorter! I come from Denmark and over here every guy wants to become taller, unless he is 190 cm already! I am 179 cm which is about 5,11 and I would like to loose max 3 inches. 4,5 is just tiny! In Denmark the average height is 168 cm for a girl and 185 cm for a guy! And instead of all us tall people trying to increase our height, we should stick together and be proud of our height – wear high heels and when we talk to the small people we should mention how short they are! Because being tall we also all experience that one of the first things people mention when they meet us is “your really tall” – like we haven’t noticed! Besides that – remember how much power and respect you can gain from your height! And get sensoredy in other ways, like exercising and eating healthy – believe me that is much sensoredy than being a little chump with short legs! And you stay sensoredy for more than just your young ages.

yeah I know i’m 5 feet 7 and I looove heels but I just don’t wanna wear it cause it would make me waaaay too tall. 5 feet 7 isn’t that tall, but it is way too tall for me so i’m kinda “desperate” to get shorter in height. my dream height is 5 feet and 5 inches.
Victoria
Im close to 5’6″ 5’7″ and I wish I was shorter like anywhere between 5’3″ to 5’4″ or 5’5″. I’m 21 female and I’m probably done growing but I wish I was shorter? is there any way possible at all?
sky
You people are sensoreding idiots, I WANT to become shorter and all of your answers are useless. Stop trying to make people sensoreding feel better and either leave some useful techniques or shut the sensored up. Nobody is here for your free internet therapy. I need answers not pity! FUCK
