Everyone suffers in silence—poor folks get ignored, women called emotional, queer folks fear rejection, men hide pain, leaders can’t look weak, kids aren’t heard. It’s not just men it’s universal.

you’re correct in your assessment, everyone suffers. To imagine one identity group has a monopoly on that is obviously wrong. But I do think there’s a dimension of male suffering which is different, otherwise why the suicide rate?

Even if it isn't completely 100% even, it's certainly far far far healthier to hold this as a belief vs hyperfocus on individual flavors of suffering

For some it’s attention and others it’s legit suicide because of how shitty of a system it is for them. I am a 6’ man. My life is fine. I know a 5’5 man, if that. His life is hell.

Ppl who really suffer aren’t even thought of. Their suffering is just unacknowledged.

The suicide rate is because women have the fallback of other women(most of the time, women together strong all that), but men can’t fall back on other men because they will get judged(for the most part, or at least we feel this way). So it’s kinda men’s fault for the way this is but it’s not any individuals fault.

Well I guess you wouldn’t realize lol but it’s a big thing, the world you live in changes based on just that. I went from 5’1 in high school to how I am now and it’s basically 0 attention / people caring and being looked down on, metaphorically as well. You feel unworthy and unvaluable. Unheard, alone. Constantly disparaged. Nothing is fair, the same hateful things or whatever said in jest that is normal for you, and then equivalent insults for others based on similar attributes are not allowed.

That’s all in your head bro. I’m 5’4” and no one treated my that differently. Sure I got bullied a little by some people, but kids will bully you for anything. My dad is 5’5”, he’s successful and doesn’t think the way you do. My whole family is short. Don’t make being short some sort of “minority struggle”. You are trying way too hard to feel discriminated against

And the short men I HAVE known that feel how you do, usually tend to be miserable assholes or have some sort of mental illness that is clouding their view. Honestly it just sounds like you have depression, and you should really seek help for that. Therapy did wonders for me

Yeah, and why do they have mental illnesses lol? Seeing as you needed therapy too you agree.

You literally can’t comprehend the different world that I or any taller individual lives in. It’s so much better that’s why I’m saying this. Maybe you’re Italian and handsome as many of you are, short and handsome so it’s no big deal. but you’re getting in the way of others being heard for how being short is literally drawing the short end of the stick. just because you’re doing fine doesn’t mean they are. don’t speak for everyone and undermine their difficulties.

Also not Italian and definitely not handsome, I just don’t throw myself a pity party like you are. Seriously go to therapy, you have some deeply rooted insecurities you need to deal with.

Lmaoo, I’m calling you out for having a complex. Being tall makes dating 10x easier but you were making it seem like short peoples only option is to be miserable, which just sounds like projection to me
