Assuming that you are a female, you are below the average height for women in UK...which I think was 5ft5.

It is desirable to be little and cute when you're female. Height-conscious people are either short males, or overly tall females and some males. You don't fall into any of those categories.

That’s fine for females. Not so for males (let’s be honest here).

what? I thought you girls liked feeling small and "petite" lmao anyway, you are not short for a girl, just around average to below average. 5ft or below is when I'd consider a girl short.
