I am Absolutely Baffled

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!
