Are lifts a good option for manlets or do they make you look disproportionate? Is it possible for me to get two or more inches even?

I'm 5'4" and I'm disgusted with how I look so much that I haven't left my house for over a month and I haven't talked to anyone in about a year. Whenever I would try to talk to someone especially a girl I would have a panic attack and leave because I would just think about them judging me and I felt emasculated. I am literally worse in every way to a guy who is taller than me. 5'6" will still be shit but maybe I won't kill myself then.

Also any other tips besides suicide?

>> No.6251701

i was waiting for you to be like 5'10"

5'4" is a height worth worrying about though

i would wear lifts if i were you

>> No.6251707

>>6251701
Yeah but what size lifts should I get? Like since I'm so short would lifts that add 2.5-3 inches just look weird on me?

>> No.6251708

Don't bring yourself down too much. Wear lifts inside of roshes and maybe you'll get to 5 foot 7 or 5 foot 8

>don't bring yourself down too much
Why not? That would be good advice if I were one of the faggots on this bored bitching about being a manlet at 5'8 or 5'9. Girls used to literally laugh in my face saying how short I was. 5'4" is not ok.

>roshes
This is another thing I was wondering about. Is wearing big lifts in low top sneakers a bad thing? Wouldn't they make it so your heel is basically sticking out? Should I wear high tops or does it even matter?

>> No.6251725

And what happens when you have to take your shoes off? Won't that be awkward as fuck? Even more embarrassing? Just embrace it.

>> No.6251731

>>6251717
I'm not sure, I have no first hand experience with lifts. I'm just suggesting the roshes because they add some height due to the size of the sole. If your heel sticking out worries you, look into some high tops but i believe lifts were meant to be worn with low shoes anyways

As far as girls laughing in your face, man if you're so worried about not getting bitches just go for philipino girls or something

>> No.6251732

>>6251725
I can't embrace it.

Also I won't take my shoes off in front of people. I don't have friends and I don't think I will have a girlfriend ever, this is just so I won't have panic attacks and want to jump in front of a bus when I leave my house.

exactly, I have a friend this height and never really thought about it much before i cam onto /fa/. He just has a good personality with the ladies. There are plenty of girls who are shorter than this. Just do something with your personality or have something special that makes you interesting. People will be amazed by your abilities and focus on the good qualities. Thats all I can say, there is a way to be happy and successful. Block out all that negative shit and focus on what you are good at.

let me tell you a story about "depression"
people whine about things instead of fixing them. People complain about things instead of noticing all of the good. People get "sad." People WANT to stay sad. Thus, depression becomes a real fucking disease. Out of thin air.

Fuck that fake "disease."

anything can be overcome with a strong sense of will.

An alternative would be to start wearing boots casually, they'll add about 2 inches and you don't have to be a short dude who wears lifts.

Not work boots, leather boots. Iron Rangers or Red Wings are pretty safe bets.

Or, wear heel'd boots AND lifts. But be prepared for the soul crushing reality of losing 4 inches when you take them off. I'd suggest just boots.

And I know this isn't gonna fix your problem, but for what it's worth, I'm 5'11 and believe me, you are the only one who cares about your height. When I look around at people, I don't even notice a difference in height between them and me if they're like, 5'8 or up. If someone genuinely thinks your lesser because of your height, then they're a fucking half wit anyways, why do you care what they think? Yeah, you're short. A lot of people are. The whole /fit/ short condemning shit is just that, it's a ridiculous echo chamber fueled by insecure pricks and unoriginal kids who think saying MANLET MANLET TOP LEL makes them more of a man. Be your own nigga

I agree with you. Although those are real illnesses, people often false self-diagnose themselves.

If that poster seriously suffered from those mind disorders, I would expect him to have already sought psychological help.

If he hasn't that is a great indicator of self-pity
and someone who uses excuses.

This so fucking much

Believe it OP. I am a 6'3 guy. I am so used to having to look down on people when I talk to them that I don't even notice anymore (unless they're REALLY short ie 4'11) My best friend is 5'5 and he gets laid all the fucking time.

What you can do it practice speaking to people, finding common ground, changing your personality to a more desirable, less pathetic one. Go out, make friends and live life. Dressing well is a perfect door opener. It shows confidence and can open doors to conversations. Compliment people you see and things you like. Open your eyes to the world and stop your putrid self-loathing.

I don't agree with the way OP is acting but legitimate depression does exist. people can be depressed without whining about their lives or pitying themselves. It's not just willpower
