Hello dear
I can understand what you are going through. It is easy to say 'get over with this thought' but to actually reach a point can be lil tricky sometimes. You might be feeling like others may take you less because of your height. Might be trying to avoid social gatherings and feeling pressurised inside
Don't worry, consult a Psychologist or a Counsellor.
You can also contact me and I will help you recover from your complex. Let's discuss your issues so that you could reach your solutions.
