Seven Struggles Only Short People Can Relate To

Short people are the cutest, sexiest, and the most amazing group of people the world has ever known. I can relate to what it feels like being short, and the number of reactions, assumptions, and responses you get from people on different occasions.

The struggle hits differently when you are older, and the height in some cases becomes a barrier to acceptance, and that's when you understand the real struggle of being short.

Here Are Some Of The Struggles Short People Can Relate To

1. Always mistaken to be a child, or let's say "an underaged," which is a very terrible compliment and a breach of law to short people. You people need to be dealt with severely.

2. Commanding a room of children can be so tricky at times, especially when you all share the same height (heartbreaking).

3. I stopped wearing loafers because I got a pair, and I got the strangest compliment ever "wow! I will love this baby shoes for my daughter, you both use the same size of shoes you know".

People always have the notion that short people wear baby things (cloths or shoes). oh lord why!

4. This scenario is widespread and wicked as people often attribute there is a correlation between one's height and being troublesome. "na because she short she like wahala,", "short people are so troublesome,", "I no blame you, na because you short, the devil ministers directly to you as you are closer to the ground(devil) than (God) #lol.

5. For the short girls, your endowment ( big breast or big butt) is overly obvious and in some cases, you have to cope with people saying, "instead of you to be tall, you chose to gather it all up in one spot" or "the only thing I see on you is your big yansh/breast”  because it is half of you. Weird comments, really.

6. Dating is not really a problem for the girls because many tall guys love to date short girls, but the challenge is that the short girls will only embrace tiptoeing for a long time to hug or kiss and that's cute but the real pressure is on dating a short guy #lol

7. Climbing or reaching for higher surfaces is one struggle for short people. As a Nigerian, getting on a bike is something a lot of us are accustomed to, but for short people, it is somewhat tricky getting used to.

Sometimes I feel they should produce bikes with ladders or they should have foldable ladders for short persons to use as assistance when getting on a bike.
