Low self esteem in tall women
I get a lot of email and questions from women or young girls who write me and ask for advice about low self esteem and how to feel better being tall. I get emails from men too, but will address men's issues in a another article. The most difficult is for teenagers and single women because they feel judged the most by society.
Teenage girls want to be accept in school by their peers and being tall, skinny and lanky is hard for tall girls. As far as single women, they feel judged for being tall too, if they date a shorter man or if they can't find a man to date or have tall comments from complete strangers.
If you are a teenager or young woman with self esteem issues, read my advice, maybe it will make you feel better.
Having self esteem issues because you are tall and because you look different is the easiest problem you can face right now. If it's the only problem you got in your life, consider it as a blessing.
Most people focus on their problems and issues and I want to remind you that many people have a lot harder lives than you do. It's unfair you can't have everything you want but try to notice what is good in your life and you will feel better.
Tall women and self esteem issues
Most people want to feel appreciated and accepted. Tall women have low self esteem moments for the same reason. People get upset if they don't get what they want or if their expectations unmet. Short women have low self esteem issues too but then they worry about weight, looks and more. Even the most beautiful women feel unattractive sometimes and wish to be more beautiful.
You need to remember that no matter how you look and no matter how tall you are, you can't please everyone. Everyone gets rejected in life sometimes, even the most beautiful women face rejection and aren't always popular as they want to be.
That's why women have poor body image and low self esteem, they think if they can't get what they want, then something is wrong with them.
Let me tell you that nothing wrong is with you. If you are a tall woman, it's o'kay. If you are short woman or big woman, if you are too skinny or too curvy, it's all o'kay. Just because someone doesn't like you it doesn't mean you are bad or something is wrong with you.
For example, I think I am a beautiful woman, and I get very surprised when not everyone think the same. Some people in my life gave me suggestions how to improve my looks or tell me that I need to loose weight or anything they want to suggest. I don't take such suggestions seriously because I'm happy with my looks. Usually women judge other women the most and usually those women judge themselves harshly too.
If someone told you something or someone didn't like you, move on and find someone you like to be around. Try to find people who appreciate you for who you are and don't focus on those who rejected you. Sometimes people like to give advice just to see how you are going to react to it, so don't take it too personally.
If you think it's hard to be tall or short, then think about those people who are even less fortunate.
There are many people in the world who are sick, who are disable, who don't have any money or have to live on the streets and they haven't done anything wrong to deserve it. So, being tall or just look different will seem as blessing in your life comparing to other problems that people have.
If it's hard for you to be accepted and feel loved, think about those who can't see or who can't hear, or someone who can't even get up to leave their room or house...how difficult is for them to relate to others in a real world.
Appreciate what you have today because not many people are as lucky as you are. Also, remember that most people would want to have your looks. Most people think tall women are beautiful, tall women attract attention, so don't think it's bad just because you someone stares at you in a supermarket or made a comment to get your attention.
Find positive in being tall and learn to be proud for being different. Some people would love to stand out and be noticed as you do. People are affraid to tell compliments that's why you usually will hear "Wow, you are so tall" or "How tall are you?" but trust me, there are people who love your height and who love the way you look.
