Ep. 219: Do Tall Girls ACTUALLY Hate Being Tall? | How Our Responses To Comments Reveal Our Thoughts About Our Height

We are BACKKKKK with another episode of A Tall Girl’s Podcast! So glad you’re here :) Before we get into this episode, I do wanna say, make sure you’re following me on my socials @atallgirlspodcast on Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest so that you can stay up to date on all of the latest podcast episodes and catch a glimpse of my everyday life. Also, feel free to leave me a review below and let me know how tall you are! 

Every single tall person known to existence has had a complicated relationship with their height. 

And speaking from my experience as a tall girly, I know I’ve had quite the tricky relationship with mine. 

There were times when I loved being tall. It was the greatest thing ever; it made me feel powerful and unique and beautiful even. And there were times when I was like why did my tall dad and above-average height mom have to make me tall again? From the self comparisons to my awkward tall teen phase to even the adults closest to me making me feel insecure about my height, it was a lot to deal with. 

Can any other tall girls relate? 

It’s almost like do the cons outweigh the pros? When it comes to being a tall girl, is there more bad than good? Honestly, it gets to a point where you have to ask, do tall girls hate being tall? 

Okay, that was a bit extreme, but we’re gonna answer this question and more in the episode, so make sure you tune in! 

Thank you so so much for tuning in to the episode; I really appreciate it, and I appreciate you. Of course, as always, feel free to hit me up on my socials @atallgirlspodcast on Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest and let me know what you thought about this episode! What do you think about the evolution of height comments and our responses to them as we get older? Do you think tall girls actually hate their height? Let me know; and until then, I’ll catch y’all in the next one! 

Goodnight and goodbyyyyyeee,
