To be getting a complex?

[PanPinPon]

I'm in my 30s
5 foot 3 size 10.
I've noticed people have started saying I'm unusually short! I mean I'm not tall but surely I'm not teeny?

I'm only an inch taller than you, and people don't say this to me. I'm not a size 10 though (I wish!) so probably appear less petite.

5.3 isn’t that short. I’m 5.5 which I think is average and wouldn’t notice if someone was a couple of inches shorter or taller.

I am the same height and have had this when I've happened to be around (imo) taller people- at the moment I'm often socialising and working along with people the same height or shorter than me so of course they don't think I'm short!

You're the average height for a UK woman.

I'm 4'11'' - let me tell you about beingSHORT

Oh fuck off..........

Who are these morons you're listening to. My bestest GF is under 5ft and I love her to bits. You'll never meet a more empathetic caring person.

These comments from dickheads really annoy me (as you can see)

It's about what is inside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You’re only a smidgen under the average, surely?

I'm 5'3 and I've never come across anyone who thinks it's unusual. My family are short-arses, my DP is also 5'3 and his family are short-arses too.

My beloved Nana was 4' and built like a sparrow, with a bouffant hairdo that made her a solid 6'6.

You're short. It's not a big deal.

I'm. 5ft3 and had these comments when I was skinny... Not so much now I'm a mum and have a bit more weight than I'd like on me 🤣

I have short legs maybe that's why😂

Yabu to be getting a complex, yes. Your height is normal for a woman.
How often are rude people saying to you that you're unusually short?
Practise saying "no I'm not, I'm a completely normal female height" with a neutral unsmiling stare.

Honestly it's been said a lot!

A colleague who is 5 foot said her husband said panpinpon is tiny isn't she

I mean that’s short to me..but I’m 6ft (183cm) without shoes so I consider most people short!

Same in 4"11

Do people mention your 4 foot 11 height a lot?

Only ever on days ending in Y.

When I'm meeting somebody new, yes a comment is usually made. But people tend to get used to it in time.

I'm 5'3 and the tallest of my group of friends. I think it's quite bizarre that lots of people have commented on you being short, because you aren't. Nobody has ever said this to me, because I'm not.

I am 5ft and will soon be under 5ft the rate I am shrinking 😆 You are probably just under average height in the UK.

I’m very similar in size to you and no one has ever said this type of thing to me.
Commented on how small my feet are but 🤷🏼‍♀️.
I’m very comfortable being the size I am. I can’t change it so what’s the point of worrying about it.
Only you can really give yourself a complex..

I’m also 5’3 the odd comment from tall people but can’t say it’s frequent ! However at my old job there was a cohort of short people who all worked together , our corner of the office was known as ‘the shire’ !😂

I'm 5 foot 1 and size 10 and now 41 so noticing how small I am. I think the fact my dd12 is the same size has made it more obvious. I wear comfy heels (boots) most of the time.

It's a bit infantilising going on about it. My 5 foot friend feels the same lol

Same height and always told how tiny I am. It makes feel so small after a while.

Yeah it's an odd one! I used to work with a woman who used to tell me I was short. She was 5 foot 4.

A patient just called me titch 😅
