If you know me, you know that I am very short— five foot to be exact. I have been short all my life and have heard all of the names and have experienced everything there is when it comes to being short.

If you are short, here are 6 things that you have definitely heard at some point:

1. "OMG, you are so short."

I hate when people say this because yes, I am aware that I'm small. Tell me something I don't know.

2. "How tall are you?" *You tell them* "No way!"

Um, yes way. I promise I am not lying. I can show you my license for proof if you really want (which I have actually done before).

3. "How old are you?" *says age* "LOL, really? I thought you were younger."

I have been told by people that I look like I should be in middle school. Someone once asked me if I was 7-years-old when I was actually 12 at the time... anyone else ever have this?

4. "You are tiny but mighty."

The best feeling is when people look at someone short and think we are weak and then all of a sudden we prove them SO wrong.

5. "Good things come in small packages."

Most short people love this saying because we are indirectly compared to diamonds. Who wouldn't love that?!

6. "You are so cute."

I don't know about other shorties out there, but everyone just assumes I'm cute because I'm small. If I'm going to be honest, that doesn't really bother me, but I know that saying can mean different things to different people.
