    Wouldn't exceptionally tall people also get tired of hearing about it all the time or standing out that much?

      I knew a ridiculously tall guy once, like 6'8" I believe. He was black but non-athletic and so traumatized from people trying to get him to play basketball his whole life that he constantly moved huddled over, like bowed head and shoulders rolled forward, to look as small as possible. It was pretty sad.

        I knew a tall guy that was really confident but stood like this all the time and he said it's because he can't hear people talking at normal volume without hunching down.

          I'm very tall. That's part of it, but also you kind of just default into a hunch if you're not actively doing back exercises.

      I know a very tall guy about 6’11 or 210cm and he constantly complained about back and knee pain and having to switch jobs due to his health. He is 22 and he became a cop lol
