What It's REALLY Like Being A Tall Girl | Why It's Such An Isolating Experience

What It's REALLY Like Being A Tall Girl | Why It's Such An Isolating Experience

Truthfully, being tall can be an isolating experience. I mean, it’s very rare to have a moment where you can just feel like everyone else. Whenever you walk into a room, you’re immediately noticed and get stares. People feel the need to make comments about your height. You see that cute fit your friends are wearing? Yeah, you can’t wear that because it’s not long enough. Experiences like these add up over time, causing us to feel like the odd one out constantly. Like the world treats you differently because of something you can’t control.

After a while, you start to wonder if there's a place for you or just anyone who can understand or relate or literally treat you like a normal human being. Today, I will be breaking down why many of us tall women feel this silent loneliness and why we shouldn’t downplay this or pretend it doesn’t affect us.

Ok, was this a bit dramatic?? Maybe. But also not really. Because high school me/middle school me felt this way. Felt really isolated, felt like the odd one out. And I wanna say super early on that this episode is to not complain about being tall or hating on it. Because I know people will say “oh you’re so lucky to be tall” and bla bla bla like I get it. For real. Being tall is a blessing but it also has its trying moments.

People will call you the weirdest names.

And say the most heinous things about your body and height.

Strangers will stare and point at you in public.

Even your friends will say/do some shady things.

All of this is on top of the fact that you're hyper-aware of your height in public and are constantly comparing your height to your shorter peers.

When living in a world where many people are shorter than you, it can be hard. Truthfully. If you can relate, I highly recommend checking this episode out!

Your Lack of Self-Compassion Is Ruining Your Confidence

Your Lack of Self-Compassion Is Ruining Your Confidence

Y’all we completed our first week of college!! And even though this first week went really well, I still somehow found a way to talk negatively to and about myself. I’d beat myself up for not making friends fast enough or I wasn’t transitioning into the new year seamlessly enough or I didn’t complete my work fast enough. And it’s like why??? It’s literally the first week. It’s SUPPOSED to be chaotic. The first month is actually SUPPOSED TO BE CHAOTIC. Why am I beating myself up because of something that is completely new to me? And then at one point, I began to realize that I used to do this to myself relating to my height. Why? And how did that play a role in my low confidence?

Wear The Short Shorts | How To Build The Confidence To Wear Whatever You Want

Wear The Short Shorts | How To Build The Confidence To Wear Whatever You Want

This episode is actually inspired by one of my Reels that I posted over on Instagram. It went something along the lines of “wear what you want to wear. I don’t care how tall or how short you are, wear the heels, wear the short shorts, wear whatever it is you want to wear. PERIOD.” And I think by all of the comments that I received, this video really resonated with you guys lol. So, I figured why not do an entire episode on it. I mean, c’mon, it’s summer. Albeit, more than halfway through summer. But it’s still summer. The Sun is shining. The birds are chirping. People are out and about. Now’s the time to get out there and work on your confidence and live your best life. Even though you can really do these things all year round, I argue that it’s easier to do this in the summer because the Sun’s blaring, there’s more daylight, and energy levels are up.So how can YOU build the confidence to wear what you wanna wear, long legs and all?

Become More Confident In Your Height By Romanticizing It

Become More Confident In Your Height By Romanticizing It

I have really been enjoying alone time for the past few weeks. Like going to visit new places by myself, going out to eat by myself, going on walks by myself. And I think that the TikTok and YouTube algorithms are picking up on that because all I’m seeing on my feed is romanticizing alone time. It's a little creepy that they know what I’m up to, but I think with the changing seasons coming, romanticization is gonna become more and more popular. We hear the term “romanticizing” so much, but I feel like I don’t actually know what it means. So of course, I Googled it ahA.

Getting Over The Fear of Standing Out As A Tall Person

Getting Over The Fear of Standing Out As A Tall Person

Today we’re talking about standing out. And this is probably one of the biggest reasons why tall people find it annoying to be tall. And this idea doesn’t even necessarily have to do with height. This could range from your hair to your style or clothing to your makeup to even your race. Just any feature that makes you extremely unique from the rest. And I can understand this fear. I’ve been there. Heck, I’M STILL THERE. I get scared when people stare. When they whisper and point. And some people are so shameless about it. Like they’ll do it super loud and in your face. They may even go up to you and say a bad comment right then and there. And it’s not a good feeling. It can make you feel like there’s something wrong with you. Like you’re a weirdo. So why do people do this? And how can you get over your fear of standing out?
