Is Being Tall Awkward? Or Are You Making It Awkward?

Is Being Tall Awkward? Or Are You Making It Awkward?

For the question of the day…is being tall awkward? Riddle me that. Like what about your height/what about being tall makes you feel awkward. I feel like the more I say the word ‘awkward' the more I just don’t understand its meaning lol. By awkward I mean difficult, cumbersome, embarrassing, uncomfortable. Like what about being tall makes you feel all of these things?

If you asked me this question 5, 6, 7 years ago, I’d probably say that being tall is most definitely awkward. Listen, I was that girl who tripped over air. I was that girl who could never sit in class properly because my desk was too small for me. I was that girl who would feel weird standing around because I didn’t know what to do with my long arms. Can anyone else relate?

Being tall had its moments. And honestly, it still does. But the older I’m getting, the more I’m realizing that there’s more to it than just the standard tall girl problems. Societal expectations, personal confidence, and even representation in the media and other industries can play a big part in how we perceive our height. Let’s get more into this conversation! Check out my full episode!
