I am Absolutely Baffled
Posted by IMAP on 12/17/08 in Health
No one gets it. “Do you know Sarah?” “Which Sarah is that?” “You know, tall Sarah.”
That is the story of my life. I have had people come up to me and literally just fall over themselves, stuttering that “Wow, you’re tall. I mean, really, really tall. Do you know how tall you are?” I’m only 5′11″! I am not a freakishly tall giantess and I am not addicted to HGH. I have never taken HGH supplements and yes, despite the fact that they do not apply to me, I am well aware of the side effects of HGH. Now, if everyone I ever knew from high school, preschool, grade school, kindergarten and any and all social activities I’ve ever participated in could just get over the fact that I am, actually, quite tall, I would be a happy camper.
I have enough issues and complexes without everyone making me feel self conscious about my height and the fact that despite meeting the height requirement for such a position, I’m not actually a model. I don’t even want to be a model! In addition to which, I think objectifying someone for their height is just as cruel and ostracizing as doing it to those who are overweight or ugly. Leave us alone!
