Today I found out I am a half inch shorter than I thought I was, and feel very depressed, since I'm already quite under average. I know height is an immutable trait, but I feel like it severely limits any chance for me to be successful in life, especially in relationships. I've never been in a relationship and while I'm aware I'm not entitled to anyone's attraction, I know being short is viewed as very being undesirable for men, on average, since it's the opposite of masculine. I don't want to ruminate in a self-pitying way as its self-centered and not productive. The women I have gone out on dates with haven't brought up my height in a bad way, but I'm sure they noticed and cared about it.

I just want to stop fixating on this one aspect of my physical appearance and move on. Anyone in a similar situation to me?
