6 Things You'll Only Understand If You're The "Tall" Friend

Being tall can be a blessing at times, also a curse, but it depends on what point of view you have.

It's got its ups (get it?) and its down. Being the tall friend is its own thing — you see the world from a totally different perspective (get it? get it?). Here are the six things that every tall friend knows is way too much of a struggle.

1. Borrowing clothes is nearly impossible

It simply ever seems to be an option — from dresses to jeans, everything looks like doll’s clothes on you. And don't even get started on the shoe size difference!

2. So, like, where am I supposed to wear heels?

Since you're already taller than the whole group, heels just make you seem like a tower. We all know, if we wear heels, we're always looking for our shortest pair.

3. Dating is weird

Your friends will suggest boys and dates but will start with “uh, I think you are about the same height” but it always means they are at least five inches shorter. This doesn't really work for us.

4. Pictures just become so awkward!

Either you are in an awkward position to try to be the same height as everyone, or you have the longest arm to stretch your arm super far to get everyone in the picture.

5. Nobody can seem to keep up.


Every three steps on theirs is one of yours. With your long stride, you can easily get to the destination in half the time. They always seem to have to have a slow jog to keep up.


6. Hugging...


When hugging, our arms always go over the others arms since any other way would feel awkward, but not everyone seems to understand that!

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
