Is this a form of warped body image?

[didyouscoredarling]

I'm 5'3 and a half. I always feel so tall next to most other women I'd say! I always feel taller usually. Obviously not all the time

I feel like I tower over them. My DMum has offered her opinion that it's because of how I carry my shoulders/top half

My DNan is 5 foot and I feel huge in comparison.

The thing is, I've had a lot of hospital stays and I've always been measured. Midwives and doctors have often commented that they're surprised I'm 5'3.5

What's going on? Don't get me started on my ever so slightly heeled boots. I feel super tall in them but they're very tame and not a high wedge at all

Well I'm glad I'm not alone

It's a weird feeling? I also feel really butch sometimes. I'm not. I'm a fairly short woman of average weight, nice nails and make up. Yet sometimes I get one of those mornings where I feel like I look a bit butch

I'm the same height and people ALWAYS think I'm taller than I am - I've repeatedly had people come and stand shoulder to shoulder with me to "prove" I'm taller than I say I am and then be very surprised! I know I'm short but I don't feel short and apparently give off an air of being taller.
