What’s your height!

[plasticseaslug]

I only just recently learned that I'm 5'3" if I stand up properly straight!!! I've been calling myself 5'2" since like, eighth grade. What do I do with myself?

[Sorcer]

6'3"/190cm. Apparently, when I was measured as a baby at the doctor's, they said I could potentially grow up to be around 6'8" or so, but that didn't happen because I wasn't a sports player as a kid/

[Memory]

I am pretty short; only 4'10" - absolute goblin energy.

[Memory]

I'm 5'8 .

[Little Matcha Girl]

Around 171cm, so 5'7-5'8ish. Fairly tall for a girl but it is what it is lol.

[WG2k]

Im 5'10

[Junebug]

5'8 1/2"

[Wildcat]

I'm around 160cm or something... so 5'0". Which is odd, because for the longest time I thought I was 5'1".

[H0ppin_H00ligan]

I'm 5'1

Sometimes when i'm out in public, people mistake me for a 12-year-old :P

Tbh i feel like the fact that i wear a lot of baggy hoodies and sweatshirts kinda adds to this since people can't see the fact that i have an adult body...

I'm 5 feet exactly, not a single inch more nor a single inch less.

Growing up, I was always just a short kid (I was consistently 2 years shorter than my age, and was wearing size 5 toddler clothing when I was 7, for example) and stopped growing any taller at the age of 12 1/2 years old once I finally hit the 5 foot mark. 

I don't mind being short, and it probably helps that I'm a woman, because it's pretty socially acceptable to exist in a shorter body if you're female, plus at least I don't ever have to worry about jeans being too short for me and can always get them hemmed up as needed and can fit my entire body on my mattress without my feet hanging off of it.

Also, class picture days (where they make you stand in different rows depending on your height and all) as a kid always meant that I could show my whole entire outfit off in the photo due to always being placed in the very front row. :)

I'm small! 5,05! 154cm! I too have the embarrassing episodes of being still mistaken as a way younger person to which I often have to respond "ma'am/sir I'm 30..." but lowkey, it feels good to know I don't really show my age xP

Worst thing though is whenever I'm at conventions and actual young people, teens and whatnot, come check our booth and I have to look up even if I'm standing... holy smokes what do they eat today to be so tall?? XD

[boreal_cryptid]

174cm or ~5'7"/5'8"
exactly the same as my father! :P
i would prefer to be a liiiitle taller, though.

I think those kids just got the average height and tall genes. Either that, or maybe they hit puberty later than we did (mine started when I was 9 1/2, though to be fair, I was always a short kid growing up anyways and always appeared to be 2 years younger than I actually was solely because of my height except for very briefly while I had that big growth spurt a year later towards the end of 5th grade before all of my peers seemingly caught on and outgrew me once again).

I just know that I'd take looking a few years younger height wise if that means getting to show off my entire outfit in class photos and being able to fit into smaller spaces more comfortably than someone taller than me.

I was 5'5" but I've lost an inch in height, so I'm 5'4" now. Don't know where I've lost it. Down the back of the sofa! (No, at 64, I've probably got osteoporosis in my future.)
