Hey caveman, I replied to your other thread but you didn't reply to my post so I have no idea if what I said helped or not. As you have reposted I'll expand on my original reply, take what you want from it.

Social pressures of body ideals are tough on both men and women. We are bombarded with images of this ideal through various media. Most of us do not measure up to this ideal, in one way or another.

You are acutely aware of your height at the moment and believe your life would be better if you were taller, you seem to be investigating ways to increase height, you seem to have an option which may work but carries a risk of prolonged pain. That is absolutely your decision to make.

You also have an option of self acceptance. The emphasis here is on the word 'self' because believe me very few people would judge you as harshly as you are judging yourself.

You are posting this in the self-esteem forum, most of us here have issues around self acceptance. This is a good place to read up on others experiences and gain insight into what might help or not if you do decide to work on self acceptance.

Best of luck to you whatever path you choose.
