Your mom’s comments hit hard
You’re learning from your mother not to accept yourself for who you are. I’m sure she makes you feel shame in other areas of life, too. Is that a pattern you want to play out in life, or change?
What would give you more freedom, more happiness?
You have a choice.
Give in to the shame, find a way to become taller, and spend the rest of your life saying “gee golly I’m sure glad I’m 5’10 now because if it wasn’t for my height, I’d be completely unlovable because my personality isn’t nearly as important!”
It would taint every interaction you’d ever have. You’d become jaded, bitter, no matter who paid attention to you, you’d think they’re respecting you for your height, not who you are on the inside.
Or.
You can change that voice NOW, and start saying to yourself “wow im so glad I just accepted my height so I had time to spend 10 years focusing on building a social life and dating and wealth and success and fun sports like motorbikes… I can’t imagine what it would’ve been like if I gave into my impulse and spent all my time researching convoluted internet theories about how to increase height instead of doing all those cool things…”
So what’s it gonna be?
Are you gonna accept your height, go out into the world, be a proud man, date, slay, and make 6’2 guys jealous of how many girls you get and how confident you are?
Or are you gonna stay inside, online, on your computer, researching height, holding yourself back, not expressing yourself fully around women because you haven’t figured out how to hack height yet, and depriving the world the gift of your fully expressed greatness purely because of something that happened when you were a small child and teenager, something that won’t change the fact that it happened even if you grow to 7 feet tall?
And what are you going to tell your mom?
Are you gonna tell her “hey mom I’m lesser than you so if you tell me I’m not good enough I’ll do whatever it takes to win your approval?”
Or are you gonna tell her “hey mom, I appreciate the comment, except I really don’t, and I’m actually good the way I am, and people including me love how surprising it is to meet a 5’7 guy with such a deep voice and confidence, and most girls think I’m the most unique and alpha guy they’ve ever met because IDGAF, and I think I’m unique too, which I love.”
And what are you gonna tell yourself?!
Are you gonna tell yourself “I have to change to be loved?”
Or are you gonna tell yourself “people are willing to change themselves just to be closer to me, I don’t need to change.”
And what are you going to subconsciously communicate to women?
Are you going to say “I don’t have confidence in my own self worth but I do things like try and get taller and focus on other external factors so that you notice me.”
Or are you gonna say to those girls “baby I love me so much you’ll find it impossible not to.”
And what are you going to say to your kids one day?
Are you gonna say “son you’re too fucking short, you’re disgusting, you’re an embarrassment of a man, if you don’t get taller you’re no son of mine, get taller or else you’re not good enough.”
Or are you gonna say “kids it doesn’t matter if you’re short or tall, I love you no matter what.”
And what are you gonna say to god?
Are you gonna say “god, you made a mistake, you’re wrong, I’m gonna fix what you broke, you idiot, you can’t help me so I’ll do it on my own”
Or are you gonna say “god, i know you made me this way for a reason and I’m struggling sometimes, but I’ll work hard to find out why you made me this way and what perfect girl is waiting for me on the other side of this journey.”
.
. In all seriousness, women can spot a tall guy from far away but a dude with a huge d*ck, that’s a keeper right there, or so I heard rather.
