Any tips on how to get over feeling insecure about being short, especially when it comes to approaching girls? I know logically it shouldn’t matter and I shouldn’t care about it, but man, the insecurity is just so deeply engrained.

I’m a 5’5 guy but I haven’t earnestly tired approached. But I have been approached a couple of times (not all is lost !). As a math grad student I’ve noticed that one helpful method is to struggle with and attempt problems that are way beyond your ability to solve. Likewise you can try to approach girls you think you have no shot with, inure to rejection and build confidence

It’s a bit paradoxical unfortunately because shorter guys can be wonderful but their insecurities about being short tends to ruin their personalities, especially if they assume any rejection is due to their height. Try not to let it get to you which i know is tough advice but that’s really all you can do (source: my bf is 5’6)

Your confidence shouldn’t only come from your appearance but who you are as a person. Focus on your personality, work ethic, hobbies, going out to events and exploring different environments to thrive in, etc. You can even learn how to communicate better with people and being clever but respectful with flirting with women you find interest in.

Still taller than most women. Besides- women are more interested in your personality, habits, goals, and sense of humor than your height anyways.

It’s short, ngl, but not so short that you have no chance. Not even close

This is so right. In order to be in any kind of (successful) sexual or romantic relationship you have to really really believe deep down that you are worthwhile and that you can trust others. Insecurity kills these beliefs
