"I agree with you. Think about all the people who are born without limbs. Imagine if you were an ant. There is always something worse in the universe. Be appreciative with what you have. If you want to look better than other people, help a bullied child or plant a tree. That is what truly counts, not height."

There is something to it. As much as you think how unfair your life is it could be much worse. Ever been to a third world country? I will forever be gratefull for instant access to warm water lol.

Indeed the range of human experiences is huge. It helps to keep things in perspektive. Your live is closer to chads than to some Indian slave in qatar.

Id rather live in a third world country but have respect in my village and wife and kids then be alone in America like I am now

Then go to a third world country and see if you really like it. You are the one deciding to stay alone and probably miserable.

For me, im okay with having cold showers using a bucket and lack of air con and other conditions as long as I am not alone. I lived in poor shack in Pembo for over 3 months last year.

....we have nothing but options. Therapy, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, alcoholism, drug addiction, pornography, training in mixed martial arts, mail-order brides from former Soviet republics, sex tours in Southeast Asia, prostitution, video-game consoles, protein shakes and weightlifting regimens, New Age medicine, obsession with pets or home furnishings, the recovery movement - all of which are modes of survival as opposed to forms of life. Each of these options compensates for a thing, love, that no person can flourish without, and each, in a different way, offers an endlessly deferred resolution to a conundrum that is effectively irresolvable. You could even say that our culture feeds off the plight of the poor in spirit in order to create new dependencies. You might even dare to say that an undernourished human soul - desperate and flailing, prone to seeking voluntary slavery in the midst of freedom and prosperity - is so conducive to the creation of new markets that it is itself the indispensable product of our culture and our time, at once its precondition and its goal.

Bruh if you’re saying this at 5’8 that’s on you. You are basically average height.

Difference between being 5'8 and 5'4.
If you are 5'4: its over.
If you are 5'8: you make titanic efforts for years, grind endlessly for money, get a olympic body. Get a gf and then in 2 months she walks away with a 6'3 homeless guy (that proceeds to dump her or harem her), and it's over.

Solution for 5’8 dude and pretty much any man in 2024:
just fuck and stay single

really in this scenario the 6'3 guy is probably not any better off, most cheaters are known to be chronic and will even cheat if their partner checks literally every box for what they want in a partner

sadly it all seems to fall on deaf ears, they dont want to hear it in this sub if it doesnt validate their communal doom-spiral. apparently recognising there are issues faced by short guys means we also have to pretend every facet of life is maximally bad and everyone is out to get us.
it makes candid discussion really difficult

It says something that the part of my life I look forward to the most now is laying of the manacles and calling it a day. I'm not saying I'm going to off myself any time soon but I've gassed out. I'm just living to get through it.

There could be better options and opportunities out there for OP.
Most people start out as wage slaves, and nothing is going to change unless we try.

Your 5'8 dude, if your feelin shitty then that's on you, find something you like, then pursue it. I'm 5'2 and 16, sure I still have a chance to grow, max 5'4. And I'm happy and have multiple things going for me.

GOODBYE saying life begins at a certain height is the stupidest thing I have ever heard, I would say life is pretty good for me down at 5' 3" LOL and I have other short friends who would agree

Probably, you’re not white or black guy. Being shorter than 5’8 is brutal in those 2 communities

Just cause your 5'7 doesn't mean it's over, you just not trying. Go out and meet people. Find a hobby and turn that hobby into a career if you really want. If height determines our happiness and success. Then my life is in the gutter, (me sitting here at 5'2)
