I have a Napolean Complex...?

Question

Hey, Im 21 and 5'2. Im a girl. I have a Napolean Complex which I think has made me always want to compete in aggressive sports or try to make myself pretty to stand out from taller girls. I dont even like to go out because I know that in crowds like clubs I will just disappear and feel like a small child. I know guys prefer taller, long legged women. It bothers me when people assume that Im weak or passive because I am short and skinny and quiet. I wish I could say that I dont care about what anyone thinks but I get offended when people say "shes so cute/little/tiny". I also get offended when bigger girls act superior or like they are automaticaaly better because they are taller, they kind of shrug me off. How can I deal with this? Any relating stories? Surgeries? lol

Answer 1

I can relate, I'm only a little bit taller than you.  I wouldn't get surgery.  Try wearing heels--they're awesome 'cause they control your height and depending on the height, you can be 5'5, 6 ft, 5'3, whatever height you want!  Also try dressing in all one color scheme (like white pants, beige top, or maybe purple shirt, indigo skirt, etc.).  It makes your body look longer.  Dresses are cute too, if you're skinny you can make the mini look work.
