At 6'1 half inch tall I'm a total freak. I'm suffering from deep depression. Feeling so along. Help me please?
I'm a 20 year old guy.
I'm depressed.
I'm hate my huge body!
I have no life.
I wish I were only average height which is 5'7.4 for a man.
At 5'7.4 I would be a much happier person. I would not think of myself as being a freak because I would be just average. I would not have to suffer the daily challenges of being so very tall.
I would not have any trouble making friends because my height would be average instead of way abnormal. I think that people look at me different because of how tall I am and that hurts me a lot. It also makes me quit angry at the same time. My parents are to blame for this. I believe strongly that I'm my parents had truly cared about me, (which they didn't), they would have taken me to a doctor to have my height stunted at an early age because they KNEW I was going to be above the norm in terms of height at a very young age. Why didn't they do something?! I guess I will never know because I've not communicated with my parents in over 3 years now. I've really had enough of their carelessness. If they don't care about me, then I don't really care about them.
It's so hard to accept the fact that you a different from everyone else around you. You feel out of place, like you were a freak experiment by God himself. Gosh! My parents and God are both SICKOS!
Everything from finding cloths that fit, finding a car that will fit a 6'1 1/2 inch monster is next to impossible, finding massive size 14 shoes is only possible if ordered online. Worring about the future and what health problems lie ahead such as joint and back problems due to my extreme height. It's particularly embarrassing to have to bend down so you can hear people talking to you because you way above their level. That REALLY bothers me.
When you are of average height you are able to find girlfriends that fit you! I just looked up the average height of a women in the united states and it said the average was just above 5'1. Well seeing that the average height for a man in the united states is 5'7.4 it makes since why it was made that way. it looks so natural for a 5'1 women and a 5'7 man to be together because those are normal heights. At 6'1 1/2 inches tall, I'm anything from being normal. These guys who are average are able to get girls around their own size, something that I've always dreamed of having but never will due to the fact that women really don't get much taller than 5'1 inches tall! I'm so screwed!
I know you might say that women love tall men.
WELL THEY DON"T LOVE GAINT MEN THAT'S FOR CERTAIN! I don't know why God decided to curse me with this! I did nothing to get this, I never asked to be this humongous, and I never wanted to have bum *** parents who never took care of me in the first place.
Way was I born so far above the average height?
I read somewhere that I might have suffered from a condition called Gigantism. I this it's where the brain tells this one gland to produce too much growth hormone, making those who are a victum several inches above the average height for an adult human being. It's just too bad this was not stopped by my parents.
How can I ever accept that I am different?
What could of caused this? Both my parents are normal in terms of their height. Mom is 5’3. Dad is 5’6. All of my family members have been about as tall as they are. What the hell happened to me?

You know, I kind of understand what you are saying even if it is a bit dramatic. I am 5’8" and a girl and I like my men taller then me, think about how hard it is to find guy taller then me when everyone seems to be shrinking. i used to hate myself because i was so tall, but you have to put your head up and realize how awesome it really is, hell I wouldn’t be able to be a model if I was any shorter, 6’1" is an awesome height, in fact most of my friends are taller then that, maybe you just live around short people and if it is affecting you that much you should move? But realize that being tall is an awesome thing and be happy with yourself! You are special not a freak trust me, I’m one of the tallest in my family too and I have two other brothers :) Really, being tall is a great thing!

I would kill to be 6 1. Also you are a negative downward spiraling thinker, yes you are. You are so self critical. I would journal my thoughts just like you just did and take them to a therapist and work on cognitive behavorial therapy or self talk therapy (same thing) and learn how to deal with this.
I can say it is easy, but I could also tell an alcoholic just to stop drinking. It is Obsessive thinking and that is the issue.
Good Luck,
Your assistant

Okay you have some deep seeded personal issues to work through, but personally, I’m 24, and I’m also 6’1. I feel short and wish I was a little bit taller (wish I was a baller, wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her)…everyone has insecurities. You learn how to make the most out of them!

You’re way off. The average height of women in the US is around 5’5”, whereas the average height of men is about 5’10”. 6’1” is not freakishly tall at all. I’m 6’2” and a half or so and I’m pretty tall among my family members, but nowhere near being freakishly tall. 6’1” isn’t a strange height, and I’d rather be tall than short. 6’1” is a good height.
Honestly I hope this question is a joke, because 6’1” is not THAT tall, and I don’t know who would think it is…

I don’t know what you are talking about but I love tall guys….and I’m only 5’3". My uncle is 6’5" and he doesn’t have any issues and other tall guys that I’ve met….around 6’4" were all fine with their height and didn’t have any problems like the ones you list. There are tons of girls who love tall guys, so be happy…you are not a freak. I used to hate being short but I got over it, and there are plenty of people in the world who are a hell of a lot taller than you and who are getting by just fine in life.
