Is shortness a gene deficiency?!
Question: Is shortness a gene deficiency!?
My grandfather is 6'1" and my dad is 6'!. Each of my dad's 3 brothers are no shorter than 5'11"!. Each of my mom's five brothers are all at least 6'2"!. Unfortunately, I am 5'7", the same height my mother is!. My paternal grandmother's father was short as are her brothers!.
I am curious though is shortness a deficiency!? I was healthy and athletic growing up and experienced no unusual illnesses!. When speaking to someone taller than myself, I feel less than they are since I must look upwards at the person I am talking to in order to make eye contact!. How do I get past this complex!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
It's not a deficiency of any kind, it's just genetics!. You inherited your mother's genes in the height area, but you probably have other characteristics that come from your father!. If you're young, you may not be done growing, as well!. Most guys aren't fully grown until about 25!. If you're the height you're going to be, then don't think about your height having anything to do with your personality!. Just because some people are taller does not make them better, healthier, more attractive or more likely to succeed!. The most attractive people are the ones who aren't trying to make apologies for themselves in anyway!. You are who you are, and be the best at it!. All those people you may have to look up at have their own issues, too!. They might wish to be in your shoes sometimes!. So be you and be happy! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
just blame your mother!.!.!. that's what my biology teacher would say!. my mother, grandmothers, sister, and father are all average height while my grandfathers are tall!. this has led me to be 5' even, way shorter than the rest!. its just the luck of the genes, and we both got unlucky!. with the complex, i've had trouble dealing with it mysef!. but being a woman helps a little since some men like that!. with other women though, i do understand and can sympathize with you!. to get over it, i think of how well off i am and loved by someone!. eh it works most the time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
No, shortness is not caused by a deficiency, it is just the luck of the draw, and it seems that you got short genes, possibly going back several generations!.
Being short can be caused by very poor nutrition in childhood and adolescence, but in the developed world it is fairy unlikely that anyone would be affected by this!.
I understand how you feel when you negatively compare yourself to others!. I am disabled and feel very inferior when dealing with able bodied people!. This is apparently easy to pick up on, particularly for people who are bullies or who will gain by putting you down!.
I certainly cannot give you any advice as to how to overcome this complex, since i cannot overcome mine, either!. From my experience before the stroke, I found that when I developed highly desirable talents that were better than those of other people this automatically gave me confidence, even if very few people knew of them!. Apart from that experience, I really cannot help you!. I will not tell you to do any of those self help courses, I have never felt that you can learn a positive character trait, just be mimicking someone who was lucky enough to be born with that trait!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
