Answer 1

I've worked with two girls both of whom were 4'9. They were some of the hardest working people I've ever known. They were very content with their height. You've just got to build up you confidence. I'm am a 6 foot guy that would love to have a 4'9 girlfriend.

You are beautiful!

Answer 2

Ok I am 29 and 4' 11.5 tall.  (Yes every little bit counts).  I totally hear what you are saying, we all go through it but not just us.  My husband is 6' 3' and while a lot of guys wish they were his size he has problems too.  He can NEVER find shoes.  He wears a size 14 and very rarely can he find that size.  I never have a problem finding shoes.  Yes, some clothes are hard especially pants but I don't have nearly the struggle like he does finding shoes as opopposed to me finding an ankle length.  All of my friends are really tall and I hear the same, yet opposite complaints.  Truthfully, everyone wants what they don't have....that's life.  Count your blessings, you could have it so much worse than just being short.  Opposites attract, my husband and a lot of other men like their women short.  You have no idea how often I still think how awesome it would be to be Giselle B from VS.  I think long legged women are gorgeous.  But again,  its what I dont have.

Answer 3

Yes. You shall learn how to acceptthe current fact. Besides, try to do this

Step 1: Ensure your emotion is controlled daily. Don't over reacted, stay calm and don't get worry easily

Step 2: Think before your action. Don't repeat her past experience on herself. Remind herself from time to time.

Step 3: Be confident to yourselves. Remember everyone is the winner. "Only One sperms out of millions fertilize an egg"

Step 4: Get a group of close friends to share your experience and get some activities that would occupied your time

Step 5: Increase scope of life. Meaning that she should involve in more social activities like dancing, outing and others.

Step 6: Put a rubberband on the wrist. If there is a negative thought, Tighten the rubber band and release it. Hence the effect of the pain would be able to reduce the possibility of negative thought.

Good Luck.

Answer 4

Being vertically challenged myself I felt the same stuff you are. Man , if you let it, the image you have of yourself will drive you to drink...or worse. If anybody has a bias against you due to your height, that's their problem not yours. It is they who are shallow and, unfortunately, there are some things about ourselves that we can do nothing about. How tall we grow is one of them. Besides, were harder to knock down, our center of gravity is closer to the ground. Were like weebles, we waball but we don't fall down.

Answer 5

As you can hear everywhere, guys like shorter girls ;)

But you are probably not ugly at all.  You probably beautiful but you think your ugly because you are shorter.  And you are only as weak as you think you are.  Join a gym, you won't feel weak after a few months.

My friend is short to and she likes to think about it as a blessing.  Since there is nothing you can really do about it, try and use your height to your advantage.

Good luck!

Answer 6

I am short, I feel short.  And most people are taller than me.

But there are heels.  I am comfortable without wearing it.  And some guys do like petite.  

I wish I am taller but being short doesn't make me feel ugly or weak.  It's another form of beauty.

Because there's nothing I can do about it and I don't have the large sum of money for height increase surgery (it can be dangerous, too if it went wrong).

So thank goodness that you are 4'11"  instead of a midget.

Answer 7

I'm somewhere between 5"0 and 5"1, so yes I'm short.

I dealt with it (to an extent) after several years  of crying.

I realised I'm not going to grow. And I try to make my petite appearance work for me- my mum is the same height as me and always gets mistaken for being a lot younger than she is!- that works for me!

Feeling so miserable about it is just a phase. You'll soon learn to love it!

Answer 8

If ur short, did u at least learn how to cope with it?

I am not short, I am just smaller than certain people and Ive learnt to get over it as there are more important things for me to worry about.

and how?

You could wear high heel shoes, talking with people who are taller than you is natural, not worrying so much about your height as most of the other people you are with are not worrying about your height, theyre worrying about things that effect them personally.

is this just a phase?

It is a phase that is repeated as soon as you pay attention to it.  Just relax and let it go.

Answer 9

Being short is great!  My Mom was 5 ft, and is now 4"11 and she's so cute!!  I am 5 ft 1 3/4 and I actually enjoy being short.  My grandparents were both the same height as they got older, between 5 ft and 4"11.  It never held my grandfather back and he was in the Signal Corps during WWII.

Please don't let it depress you, there are lots of advantages to being short.  They even make clothes for us now.  The Petite sizes are made just for us!  Heels can help, but I don't like them and wear them extremely rarely.  Personally, I am glad that I am short and it has never ever held me back.

Here is an example of a short woman:  I used to volunteer for the police in my area and there was one officer who I think was 4"9 or something.  It never held her back and I am pretty sure that she is still with the force.  You can do anything, don't ever believe otherwise.
