Why do I often receive the signals that the men who are shorter than 5'7 hate me a lot??

Question

At least there are some serious big gaps we all could sense! Unfortunately my boss is about 5'5, I think he is always trying to give me challenges! How can I get along with him well? By me myself abusing and making fun of my height? I'm about 6'4 in height. he would friquently say to me such as" you're too tall", " sit down first, your standing straight like this makes me uncomfortable", " how did you grow so tall, how much time did you wasted to height growth" etc. etc. I swear I've not done any artificial works to my height growth! It grew natrallly! I didn't even care about it ! Why is he so picky? What should I do to make him be not so picky on me??

Answer 1

It is happening to you because people who are short suffer from inferiority complex with the taller people. You need not worry about that, he is able to do that to you because he is your boss. Do you think he would do the same if you were his boss. Hi is just trying to show his superiority on you. Maybe he was joked about by someone taller than him so he thinks that all the tall people will think of him as shorty or something like that. You can just hate him for being rude to you because of the hight factor or you can sympathize with him for him being short. Unfortunately you cannot make a joke of him on being short because he is your boss. But if someone else who is not your boss passes comments like your boss, you can also reply with the same weapen on him being short. I am able to tell you this because I am myself 6'2 and I faced same kind of treatment when I was in my college. I followed that above said things and It never bothered me much after that.

I can't answer your initial question because no two people are alike.  Me, myself, I'm 5'9 and I dated a woman was 6'1.5, and all was well.  So don't dwell on it too much, because when you think about it, why spend time worrying about what someone else thinks, when 9 times out of 10, they're not thinking about you after the fact.  

  As far as your work situation, it sounds as though you're facing a form of discrimination by your superior.  You could even file a harassment suit if he's making comments that make you feel, not only uncomfortable, but causes you mental anguish, hence you're dwelling on it now.  But before actually considering legal action, try talking to him and expressing yourself.  If that doesn't work, go to his superior and notify them of the situation.  And if neither attempts work, seek legal action.  

  But anyway, best of luck to you.  And I don't think shorter people hate you, they're just being people, and people make light of situations, although the other person's feelings might not come to their attention.

Answer 3

in most cases, men desire to grow much taller than the women around them. when this happens, they somehow get jealous of the heights of the women with much heights than them. dont mind him. he's acting out of fraustration.

Answer 4

Why do you take tall jokes so personally?  Maybe you should "grow-up".
