Nobody is perfect and that’s something we can all agree on. However, at times, no matter how hard we try to embrace our imperfections and be alright with our flaws, life still hits us hard. During those times, it’s hard to stay confident.
If you are someone who’s vertically challenged, know that you aren’t alone. The disadvantages you are experiencing are things almost all short girls understand.
To give you a better idea, here’s a list of 45 things short girls will be able to relate to.
1. A solution to most short girl problems
What do you do when you can’t reach your favorite ice cream at the store? The answer is simple. You just step on anything that adds height.
2. About the car seat
If you have a short friend, avoid asking him or her about the car seat being too close. It’s the only way they can reach the pedals.
3. Even with heels
I feel bad for this woman. Even with heels, she still looked way too short next to her friends.
4. Not fun
This man might only be resting his arm on his girl’s head out of fun, but she’s clearly not impressed. If I were her, I’d probably be pissed, too.
5. When you’re short and light
It’s amusing how that man can carry the woman with just one arm. He doesn’t even look like he’s having a hard time.
6. Reaching the bottom
Reaching the top shelves isn’t the only hard thing for short girls. Reaching the bottom of the washing machine can be a huge problem, too.
7. Finding a good pair of jeans
Finding a good pair of jeans with the right length isn’t always easy when you’re short. You will always have to do alterations.
8. When washing the car
Washing the car can be twice as hard when you’re short. You’ll always need extra tools and stools just to reach the top.
9. Strong calves
This woman got some really nice calves. She probably got them from always being on her toes when reaching out for things at the mall.
10. When a design doesn’t work for you
This pair of jeans looks like it’s going to need a bit of remodeling. The ripped knees ended up on this woman’s shins.
11. When you wear high-waisted pants
This just proves that high-waisted pants don’t always look good on everyone. While some people look taller wearing them, others just end up looking weird.
12. A different ladder
One of the good things about being short is that it teaches you to be resourceful. When you can’t reach the top, use the shelves as a ladder. Just make sure they are strong enough to support you.
13. About the seat belt
Seat belts are supposed to keep you safe. For short girls, however, they can be quite dangerous.
14. When cooking becomes a workout
It looks like short girls can save on gym membership fees. All they have to do is place important items on the higher shelves.
15. On a bus ride
I bet this doesn’t just happen on the bus. Her feet not touching the floor could also be a thing on every chair and every bench.
16. Trying to look cute
Oversized shirts don’t always look good on short girls. Sometimes, they just look like a tent on them.
17. When your boyfriend is tall
If you are going to live with a tall person at home, it’s best to start rearranging the appliances. That way, you wouldn’t need a chair each time you need to use the microwave.
18. When you’re not sure
If you’re still not sure if you should consider yourself short, then think about this:
If you need to climb on top of your kitchen counter just to reach the items in your cabinet, then yes. You are short.
19. On a swing
If not for that glass of drink and that beautiful smile on her face, I’d say this woman isn’t having fun on the swing. She almost needed a step stool for it.
20. When driving
Most short girls end up with their chests on the wheel. This position is both uncomfortable and unsafe. A good pillow or a few books can solve the issue.
21. Finding the right dress size
Most short girls aren’t able to find the right dress size in the women’ section. They have better luck in the kids’ and teens’ sections.
22. Getting out of bed
When sitting on the edge of her bed, this woman’s feet are about 9 inches from the floor. Getting out of bed surely does take a lot more work for her.
23. Stepping on the driving pedals
For safe driving, your feet must be able to comfortably touch the pedals. For this woman, that’s easier said than done.
24. Reaching the top shelf
This lady always have a hard time picking an item from the grocery’s food section because of her height. She found fridges and shelves make excellent ladders.
25. Looking at your reflection
Sometimes, it’s the simple things that hurt the most. Just take this mirror as an example. I bet this woman was on the tip of her toes just to see her reflection.
26. Finding clothes that make you look tall
Heels, high waist, and skinny jeans are the perfect combination if you want to look taller. The right pose helps, too.
27. Getting something from the pantry
Countertops are quite useful for short girls. They aren’t just handy when preparing food, but they are also helpful when you need to get something from the top shelf.
28. A good pair of shoes
As a short girl, sneakers aren’t probably a part of your everyday attire like this woman. But when you find a good and comfortable pair of sneakers, you’d probably wear them even with a dress like that.
29. Getting in a Jeep
If you’re a short girl and you really want big vehicles, make it a point to invest in a good stool, too. It might look odd, but it makes getting in and out of the vehicle a lot easier.
30. At the grocery store
Why does it always have to be on top? This is probably what most short girls have in mind when they’re grocery shopping.
31. Too short for jumpsuits
Jumpsuits that are too long can always be altered to fit your height. Just get them in solid colors and avoid anything patterned because they can make you look shorter.
32. When you’re smaller than your little sister
This woman’s little sister is getting married. Yes, the woman on the left is her younger sister.
33. When decorating the Christmas tree
Decorating Christmas trees can take a lot more time when you’re a short girl. The time multiplies if you’re too proud to use a bench or a ladder to reach the higher parts.
34. When rock climbing
Short girls can definitely do rock climbing like most people. They just have to put more effort into reaching the rocls and moving themselves up.
35. Not the RV
Most RVs are made without considering short girls. See the way this outdoor kitchen was designed? I don’t think you can comfortably cook and wash the dishes at that height.
36. Sitting on a sofa
This woman is already short. Sitting on that couch, she looked like she shrunk herself.
37. Wearing maxi dresses
Wearing maxi dresses can be a huge problem for short girls. Fortunately for this woman, the dresses still look good on her despite the length. With minimal alteration, they’ll be perfect for her.
38. Playing basketball
Even if it’s just a wax figure, you can tell how hard it’ll be for that girl to get that ball. It’s like she’s going to need ladders just to win.
39. Getting into the truck
Getting into a truck that high can take a lot more effort than usual. You’re going to end up with really strong legs if you do that everyday.
40. Fitting a pair of pants
This was supposed to be a pair of Capri pants. For this short girl, it looked like a pair of full length pants with super high waist.
41. The struggle is real
This illustration perfectly sums up what it’s like to be a short girl. Reaching high places is always a challenge.
42. When you’re trying to be a model
Not all places are great for poses when you’re not tall. This spot, for example, makes this short girl appear even shorter.
43. Taking pictures with tall people
Getting the perfect photograph is quite tricky when you’re with someone way taller than you. Even when you’re standing on your toes, you’d still look small.
44. Removing snow from the car
It’s hard to drive when your glass is completely covered in snow. And when you are short, cleaning it can be twice as hard.
45. Using the toilet
Toilets aren’t really a problem for short girls unless they are installed at this height. This one looks like it’s made particularly for people who do leg days at the gym.
