If you’re the tall friend in the group, you’ve come to learn your role as being the least gravitationally challenged of them all. Whether you’re only two inches taller or eight inches taller, your head rises above the rest and don’t pretend that everyone chooses not to notice. There are many things that your friends do and that you do to adjust to your height. Most of them are perks, and some are habits that we all get used to.

Everyone offers to sit in the back because they know you’ll be more comfortable in the front.

Your friends always ask you to take the group selfie because you can get the best angle with your insanely long arms.

There are more than enough photos of you either having your head cut off or of you awkwardly squatting and bending your legs to be on everyone else’s level.

When you’re hugging them goodbye they either stand on their tip toes, or you have to bend really far.

You rarely walk side by side; instead, your friends are walking behind you as you walk, or walking quickly to keep up.

When you were going through your growth spurt, you often gave them the piles clothes that you quickly grew out of.

You can never wear your friends’ shorts or dresses because they are way too short.

When you borrow their shirts...

When your friends try to borrow your shoes it looks like they’re wearing clown shoes.

You are easy to spot in a crowd so they never lose you. You can always find your friends in a crowd because you can often see over everyone.

Your friends often avoid buying you shorts or dresses because they know they probably won’t fit.

When you're gathered together, sometimes it looks like you're watching over them.

When you all go shopping and they find shoes that are 10+ or a dress that looks long, they immediately run over to tell you.

Even though you are the tallest of them all, you have a lot of advantages. What would your friends do without you? Being the tall friend just makes everything more interesting and often comical. Even if they call you their “Loveable Green Giant,” you know they wouldn’t trade your height for the world, and neither would you.
