Answer 6

I'm tall for my height, and because of that, I find it better to slouch a little when I sit. If I sit all the way up, I will tower over everyone! [: I also don't stretch out my legs while I'm sitting either, unless it's under a covered table. Stretched legs will make you seem even LONGER.

I used to have a friend that was tall..she used to put her weight on one leg and then bend the other one slightly at the knee..she also used to slouch her shoulders.  

Not such a cute look..

Why do you want to look shorter? Don't wear vertical stripes, short shorts, short skirts, or wear your hair up. Don't wear very tight clothing either because it'll elongate your limbs and make you look taller.

Answer 18

If you would love to be shorter it is easy.

It is all about clothing and colors, while people wear 1 color to look taller, you should wear 2 colors, like, white shirt, with black pants and white boots, this will makes you look shorter because of the colors combination, while wearing a whole color, like black all over, even if you are short, you will look taller.
