Being a girl that's taller than 5'11" means people are probably going to stare at you weird or make random comments or questions. Being tall definitely has its advantages, but most days, it's a pain in the butt. Here's just a few of the things that we struggle with on a daily basis.
1. People constantly telling you that you're tall
Really? I had no idea.
2. Getting compared to a giraffe
Good one—I've never heard that one before.
3. Wearing heels is almost always a "no"
I'm already 5'11", and you're asking me to add an extra four inches to me? No thanks.
4. Finding jeans that aren't high waters
You've probably already made friends with American Eagle online because you can custom order your jeans to be "extra long."
5. "You must be a basketball or volleyball player"
6. Your legs don't fit under a desk
The struggle is so real.
7. People always ask you to reach for things
8. When people shorter than 5'10" complain about being tall
Don't get me wrong, I love being tall, but sometimes it's too much to deal with, especially when you hear the same few questions/statements all the time. So to all my fellow tall girls, keep your shoulders back and walk tall. Embrace your height because you are beautiful.
