This is important.

PSA - being DIFFERENT and why it shouldn’t be a huge deal.

I know that this is a little different to my usual posts but I want to use this blog as an outlet for some things that I have had on my mind for about 5 years.

I am significantly smaller than my peers, I’m probably about 1ft 2inches off of most of the people I have to spend my days around. Yes, it’s frustrating to not feel normal and no, I don’t like it when people taunt and poke fun at it.

Because of my short stature, I found it and still find it hard to love myself and treasure the body I have. I’m sure we all have something we would absolutely love to change about ourselves but is that because of other people’s influence? I’d say about 50% of you would say yes to that. Including myself. Due to being smaller than my peers, I have found it hard to fit in, feel confident and have extremely bad anxiety around people. I even got to the point where I spoke to a doctor about my height and considered a extreme cosmetic procedure to add 5inches with a 50/50 chance of working. I didn’t take the offer in the end.

I don’t really have anyone to talk to apart from my parents but they always tell me the same thing: call them names back, be aggressive back and so on. I have found that none of this actually does anything. Being mean back, being nice, laughing it off; it still makes you feel bad about yourself.

I am healthy. I have my own interests. I have dreams. Are my so called ‘flaws’ going to stop me?? No. Have people made me feel that they will. Yes. I’ve been hit on the head, called a midget, dwarf, had people just come up to me randomly to ask how tall I am, I have been laughed at. Just for walking past others. And it’s bullshit. I’m done. I’m done with society FUCKING. with my mind. And others too. It’s bullshit.

I cannot EVER comprehend why people would want to suddenly make fun of someone who is different for no apparent reason. Is it right? Absolutely not. You’re one of those people? Check yourself.

One day it will get better and we will be able to be ourselves with people who we fit in with. People who won’t judge us for who we are. Please don’t be like me and fall into the trap of self-loathing because it is hell. It messes with you.

What I’m trying to say is; if someone is significantly tall, short, fat, thin has a skin condition, IS DIFFERENT. Remember to consider THEIR feelings. I know how shit it feels to be constantly reminded of (what I have been conditioned to see as) my flaws and it damn right sucks and it has ruined me for 5 years.

Society needs to fucking change before they ruin anymore people’s perception of themselves. Stop making people hate themselves. Your forgettable words can have a massive impact on the person you’re saying them to. It ruined me. And it can ruin others. Be kind. And stay kind. Make someone happy rather than making them angry or sad or disappointed that they can’t be how you want them to be.

To all my short people out there, I feel you.
