Being short can undermine one's quality of life, scientists have discovered. Scientists used virtual reality technology to reduce the height of volunteers travelling on a computer-simulated Tube train by 10in (25cm). The experience of being shorter increased reports of negative feelings, such as being incompetent, dislikeable or inferior.

I’m not incompetent!
Also the ugliest.
I think everyone has some sort of issue with either height, weight, looks, body parts, or bone size, it’s built in from childhood projections of acceptance or rejection. Either warranted by experience from bullies, parental approval or disapproval, but mostly from self evaluation in comparing ourselves to others.
The Bible says ‘those who compare themselves among themselves are not wise’. DNA genes are a random draw at conception, so no one is to blame.
“Learning to be content with ones own body is paramount to being confident to pursue success without distraction.”
“Also the ugliest.”
She’s a dim ain’t she? of course she is. lol

Actually we only want our fair share....(your tagline).
Danny DeVito made the most of a short situation. Did you know he was Michael Douglas roommate? That may have helped him immensely....along with studying acting.
And I suppose you want the government to make sure you get it?
And my photo is of Louie De Palma, not Danny DeVito. ;>]

Yeah, being a FLAMING LIBERAL didn’t hurt either.
I'm reminded of the double humiliation suffered by a recent Disney World visitor. First, the park tells her that she's too fat (225 lbs) for a rollercoaster ride. Second, the news reports that she had lost more than 2000 pounds of excess weight....

“I am 4’10” (after having shrunk from 4’11”). The main thing that aggravates me about it is grocery shopping because it seems most of the things I want to buy are on the top shelf. I have gotten really good at climbing on the bottom shelf to reach them. I also have no problem asking perfect strangers to reach them for me which they are always glad to do.”
I am 6’4” and as my knees have gotten worse and worse with age, I find more and more often the items I want at the store are located on the bottom shelf. When I ask short people to get something off the bottom shelf for me I get odd looks at best and most frequently I get told to get it myself.
