Gotta love losing tiny friends in the bars

Have you ever thought to yourself ... but clearly you haven't ... how bullied tall people are? Yeah, we are. You make so many assumptions in what you're saying as if short people are always victims. You want to make assumptions based on our size. Let me remind you, most people my size and taller have had "be gentle you're stronger than you realize" beaten (literally in my case) into us. So to push back at the bullies was unthinkable; I’d hurt them. The only be time I did defend myself from the bullies (all of whom would be considered short) I was the one who got in trouble not the others who spent months on end harrassing me. You wanna complain 'cause I asked a silly question go ahead. Let me be absolutely clear: You have no clue about how "less than" your comments and questions to tall people make us feel. No, I don't want to be asked about basketball unless you want to be asked if you get your clothing in the childrens dept; do you throw the shoes out and wear the boxes? heard that a lot too; What's the weather like up there?; Do you get nosebleeds often being that high up? Shall I go on with the rude, mean-spirited crap tall people have to hear every day? Do you want to be seen as intimidating or a threat just because you are tall? I'm sick and tired of folks like you telling me what I'm supposed to feel and experience because I'm tall and how hard life is for short people. That's pure male bovine excrement. I’m adopted. I’m 6’5”. The next tallest person in my family is my sister at 5’6.” Mom and dad both come in at 5’3”. Aunt, uncles, and cousins all come in around 5’5”. You want to talk about size...let’s talk about my having to navigate that world: a world in which simply gathering with my family reminds me I’m an outsider. Explaining to every person that I’m adopted and so my height is different. The pathetic piece in this is acting as if you actually know something on this topic. I’m not defensive I’m telling truth you don’t want to know. So please take your self-righteousness attitude and go home I’m done being told what and how to feel by the likes of you.
