Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I would gladly donate a few inches. My back hurts and my knees hate me. Reaching the top shelf is overrated.

I love being told constantly how great it must be to be tall...no it's not literally nothing is designed for tall people pls take some of my height without killing me.

Plus I've got the double whammy. I'm left handed as well. The world doesn't ever think about me.

I injured my arm and was left unable to use it for any repetitive motion, or lifting motion for half a year. I had to learn to use my left arm much more. Gotten quite handy with stuff. Found that in some cases, left was more useful. But overall... I am sorry for your inconveniences.

My back and knees also hurt and I'm 5'7", and 24 y/o. I think we're not evolved to walk on two feet >:(

Being tall is not all it’s cracked up to be, I assure you.

My back and knees constantly hurt, I can’t buy clothes at stores, dodging chandeliers and low doorways isn’t fun, there’s nothing interesting on the top of shelves and cabinets, no I don’t play basketball, every airplane is uncomfortable, my feet hang off the end of the bed, and where are all these women who want tall men?

Idk bro; I guess we'll just have to settle for each other...

I stopped picking things up when shorts are around. They're closer to it.

[–] Vladkar 9 points 9 months ago

Yeah, well I probably smack my head on things far more frequently than most short people do. If they want my height, they'd better be willing to cough up some brain cells in exchange.
