Went had a health check, and all that time i thought i was 5 foot tall, when am actually 4" 11.....?

i feel s h i t. I know its not huge difference

its so embarrassing.

i feel so low about myself

am 24 years old

even with heels i still look small

i dont want to wear really high heels either.

my aunts are 4 5 they may be small but trust me their personalities make up what they are missing out on in height nobody in this world is perfect even those leggy models you see on TV are probably self conscious about themselves

I'm 4'11 too I know how you feel. It sucks, doesn't it? :[

That's ok - wear heels instead. Chin up - I work with a girl who is 4'9 so you're tall in comparison!

wow, if this can make you feel that awful, you really need more depth to your life.

you must get over this, what is the big deal.....you need therepy about your low self esteem. this is no big deal.....

You can still join the circus.

and your life must stop because of it...hey.

You're a female so should know an extra inch makes all the difference!

Is this a question? Don't worry, everyone hates something about themselves!! Thats not that short btw!

lol, I guess at that height every inch counts.

Seriously though, its just a number.

Look at it like this. Every thing that comes in small sizes is called fun size. Now go play with your dwarf friends from middle earth and be happy that your not 8" tall. That would really suck..

Why? That's a silly thing to get depressed about. Goodness, it's just one inch and it's not like you're a tiny freak or anything. You're just a little shorter than average. Stand up tall and move on. Wear big chunky boots or something if it upsets you that much.

there is no need to feel down life is life if you could pick and choose how tall you are what colour your eyes are and all that everyone would look perfect just accept it and move on its not a life changing thing

Same thing happened to me recently too, i thought i was 5'7" but i'm actually 5'4"

I'm 25, maybe it's just something that happens to us at this age!! Either that or the doctors tape measures are wrong!

i,m the same height and im actually ok with it, it aint embarrasing for me,

aaaaah shame rosie

never mind, both my sisters are the same height as you but you would never know cos they always wear high shoes, they always look really good.

i think the best things come in small packages-dont worry hun make the most of your petite size

I wouldn't worry about it. I have a bunch of short friends and they all laugh about it.
Just have fun with it! There are advantages to being short! Trust me, you can figure them out.
And a number shouldn't make a difference. It's the way you feel. You've always been 4'11", you've been comfortable with it, you just didn't realize.
Just relax and have fun. Height isn't something to worry about.

a lot of short women just look cute, i dont think a girls height has a lot to do with how good her appeanrance can be, ie; kylie minogue, her sister, salma hayek, the olsen twins, eva longoria...
It seriously cant get in the way of how you're living your life and any of your potentials, sheeh.

That's exactly how I felt when I thought I was 4'11" and then discovered I was 4'10"...
Don't worry, the embarrassment goes away.

tell everyone that your 5'

I'm five foot one and a half...
I thought I was five two until I got measured recently. I laughed about it. Who cares what your measurements are, you are still the exact same person you were when you thought you were five foot tall. Lots of people are much smaller than you.
It's cool to be short, I wouldn't want to be any taller than I am.

Don't worry at all. It will not affect your dating and you will still look great in heals. The heals are not made to make you taller. although they do that, but to help make your calves and rear look better to men. You will still knock them dead and will live longer, more energtic and healthier lives than taller counter parts.

and what question are you actually asking?
your not asking a question are you? u r stating something that no one can help you with, maybe u should stop moaining about something so pathectic and worry about something that is actually important, like all the starving children in the world, there are alot more ppl worse of than you, stop complaining and jus get on with life.

your pettie, theres nothing wrong in that and a lot of men think its cute

treefrog, had a bad day ? leave the girl alone or i will put ya in ya place i feel sorry for people like you, your not good either.
edit: a midget is under 4'8 so ha!

Hiya Titch!!! lol

Sorry to hear that, I am 5ft 8 and im 15yrs old.

You know what? Every woman wants another two inches - he he. But you need to establish hey I'm cute and short - play on it - like a blonde does and work it to your advantage!! Be proud - big things come in small packages as they say! Confidence comes in knowing what's in your own shell. xxx

don't worry about it. i know girls who are 4 foot 8 inches tall and they are happy. be happy with your body. think about the good things about your body. i'm sure your very attractive.

ha ha your officially a midget !

Go away.
