Yeah I am very much so insecure about my height and body type. I am female and 20 yrs old. I box for 4 hours a week and I am 5,8ft tall. I am insecure as I'm about 90kg with measurements of 32inch waist 43inch hips, and I am a 36 D for my bust. I don't know if that is something I should be happy with, but I feel like I look massive on all photos. Especially when I'm with my BF who is only 5,3ft and of a slim build, and about 50-60kg. I did a body measurement thing and it said I am 55kg of muscle, 5kg of bone and have a score of 5 (on a scale of 1-12) for my visceral fat level, but my BMI is 30?! Any advice? its been really been getting to me lately

Yeah sometimes, i'm 5'4. I'm the shortest guy most of the time even in a big city. Its awkward as hell, but I just learn to live with it. I think short guys and tall women feel the same way. We both are the odd ones out for our genders and we usually stick out too. I feel like I relate more to tall women than short women on a societal level. There was literally never a time I even blended in with men, always noticeably short. You just have to get used to being the odd one out. Its something that you get used to. I've had plenty of people stare at me because i'm always the shortest guy and its uncomfortable so I just walk somewhere else. If people give you **** about it, tell them to **** off.

5'8 for a woman isnt really that big. I think a lot of the times we make ourselves insecure, honestly no one cares enough about how we look. Everyone is busy with their own lives working or going to school that they don't focus on appearance of others and have other things to worry about. BMI doesn't account for muscle. You have more muscle mass so thats why the BMI for you is 30 but thats better than a BMI of 30 mostly of fat. Muscle weighs more than fat. I get what you're saying about photos, but remember that everyone is built different. Some people are fat, others are skinny, some are tall, some are short, some people have different facial structure etc... Its likely that in group photos there will be several people that are just different and its normal. We all can't be the same. Human beings are meant to be different biologically and its just something you have to accept. Its out of your control. You just have to have self acceptance that this is how you are and you have to embrace it.

In the real world, no one really cares about physical appearance and if they give you crap for it then theres something wrong with them. I'm also smaller than like every guy, it can be awkward sometimes and I do look smaller than every guy in group pics so literally the opposite of you, but i've learned to accept it. If it helps, try dressing nice because sometimes short guys and tall women are noticeable right away especially amongst are own gender. Making yourself look presentable will be important because people will notice the height (something you can't avoid unfortuantely) and looking nice will give an impression that you care how you present yourself to others. Also treat people nicely. Its good to stand out in a good way, not a bad way. Its not easy, but it takes time to gain self confidence about our bodies. At the end of the day, we're all human and honestly as long as you just have a good personality then thats something to feel secure with and thats really all that should matter.

I usually find that people that point out someone's height to be weird and are usually not good people to be around with anyway. I personally have never really had anyone point out my height. I hear of other short guys like myself getting made fun of, but I never have. I generally have this vibe with people when I talk to them that if they were to say anything about my height they know I will get pissed off and they can sense that so they don't. If someone does point it out you can tell them to stop and its making you uncomfortable, you have every right to.
