I'm just curious, how many other people on here who consider themselves short and ugly and feel that its contributed to them ctb?

I realise there are many short and uglies who are happy in life and theres a lot more to it. Being ugly is subjective and there is often some level of body dysmorphia going on.

I hear people say it's superficial and dosnt matter, yet I just feel like the judgements over the years have accumulated and gone much deeper. Many people make up for being small in other ways, having a loud personality, being talented, very attractive etc In my case I could not do this and it's the combination of being short and ugly and quiet with a noticable tremor, that has contributed to my depression.

It seems like I have always gotten the short end of the stick. I've always come across as weak and vulnerable and an easy target. The last to be seen, to be included, to be listened to and chosen. It seems like I've always had to try extra harder than most people just to be noticed and taken seriously and it's exhausting.

I feel your pain. 🤗 I don't mind being short but ugly is awful. Being stupid as well.... 😭
I think if you are short but good looking life is better.

The human psyche makes prejudgments based on vulgar impressions. It doesn't matter who the person really is, just what they appear to be. The "image" is worth more than anything. Physical appearance produces an effect on human psychology called "Halo", in which all adjacent characteristics are overestimated just by appearance (he is intelligent, kind, strong because he is 'handsome'). Clothes transmit subliminal messages. You will always be prequalified by external and extrinsic things. Love relationships are selfish. No one wants to date someone considered less and inferior -- even without knowing them. I hate it.

I was always ugly and clumsy, my parents didn't teach me self-care, leading me to suffer social punishment. Performing Looksmaxing is the only salvation I have. I will make this happen with my ineffable hatred!

Being short is not the reason I want to ctb, but it I hate it nonetheless.

Other people cutting in line when waiting for something, other people looking down at me (figuratively and literally), this feeling of being physically inferior to other men and a dozen other things. No matter what I do, I will never get the same respect tall men get from both sexes. Because men JUST KNOW they could defeat me in a physical fight, so they can allow themselves every atrocity against me. Of course in real life nobody ever fights with anyone, but it's just human psychology, that tall men know they could punch me into the ground if they wanted, and therefor they can allow themselves everything, that they wouldn't if I were taller. It's not only them, you start incorporating it into your thinking and doing, when you know you are physically inferior.

Women on the other hand, will never consider me as a sufficient partner. I think I will never be considered "a real man" (whatever this means) by neither sexes. Even if I were get a girlfriend, I feel like she would never be satisfied with me and even if she was satisfied, I wouldn't believe it and be suspicious of her. I'm just too cynical, here is nothing a woman could do to make me believe, she is honest and loyal to me, when I'm obviously physically inferior to 99% of men.

So yeah, that's what I think. Being short is a curse.

Living life being short and ugly (especially after being super tall your whole life) sucks. It's definitely contributed a bit because you have to live with it daily.

I've heard a lot of people argue and say that you can change it but that's not always do easy.

I don't believe you're ugly, yes that's subjective but even the fashion industry actively seek unconventional looking people so maybe look at it that way? I don't believe it's worth ctb over it, especially if you need to spend money on your ctb method since you could spend that money on self improvement instead.

(Sorry for the long thread, I have many thoughts about this)

Yeah, actually. I'm the sort of guy that incels say should be mercy killed at birth.

I've had multiple women fall in love with me based on my voice or what I write, but they never seem to consider me if we meet in person first.

Tbh I don't mind being short at all cause especially the complaints about dating stuff is silly cause everyone is into different things. There are people that like short people and tbh whenever short people especially short cis guys complain about being short with dating stuff it's really unattractive. You kind of just need to own being short. Tom Holland, Josh Hutcherson, Daniel Radcliffe, etc are all short and people still like them smh. The REAL problem with being short is the bullying. Guys taller than me really do push me around more and are more aggressive with me and I've been physically hurt or abused by at least 4 of them now. Idk if it has more to do with being trans but either way cis tall guys have some serious issues to work through and it's nothing about you being short. Idk if I'm ugly I like how I look.
From what you've said this probably has more to do with you being short than whether you are attractive or not. Cis tall guys really want a power trip any chance they can get smh. Just focus on yourself and avoid them.

It's hard enough being a short woman. I really feel sorry for you being a short man, it would be a curse unless you have money or a very charming outgoing personality to make up for it.

It's not the reason that I am going to ctb. It's just that it's a contributing factor. I'm a woman so it's not as bad as it is for some men on here. I really feel for them. It's just that having people look down on you all your life, eventually takes its toll on your self esteem amongst other things. I think a lot of woman find tall men to make up for it. I was never lucky to find a man, let alone a tall one.
