I'm 6 feet 2 inches tall and for the most part, I find myself towering above the rest of the world. I look to my wardrobe and grab a pair of mules or trainers avoiding high-heels, as I don't want to add another 4 inches to what I already am.

I find my height can be a problem to some people I meet in my workplace, perhaps they feel that being smaller places them at a "disadvantage". Smaller being inferior.

Has anyone on this forum experienced problems due to being tall or short.

I am 6ft so know where you are coming from. I often find myself wearing lower heeled shoes to stop myself towering over people. I used to struggle to get the right length trousers but shops are now much better at doing ranges for taller people.

That can be more of a problem when you have long legs but shorter above the waistline or "reversed" naturally. I'm lucky having both evenly matched and just about manage. Most shop staff I meet seem to be shorter. It must be where I live.
