I'm a short dude and sometimes I really feel this pain. Idk, I got bullied a lot a lot as a kid, and even as an adult I can still kind of feel this whole power dynamic going on. It's there, I can tell.
Vanity is one thing but the emotional insecurity that society imprints on those that are short, fat, bald etc. is another stigma. Other people are terrified of taking on that baggage. People need to learn to be happy with themselves first somehow.
IDK that making mental health a matter of strict personal responsibility makes any more sense than that of physical health. Obviously we live under Neoliberal Capitalism, and as such our options for addressing any of these problems rationally, at an organized social level are functionally nil. So one needs to do what one can to care for oneself; but I don't think that the solutions that we are required to pursue as a result of the limitations of our present social formations are ones that are actually going to really fix anything, tbh.

who on earth do you hang around?
all men hang exclusively with taller men its just science
Except for the Tall Man of the group, who refers to everyone in their social circle as "short", regardless of actual height.
every Tall Man is short in the next group up, and so on and so forth until we find the men taller than trees and shorter than ants :very-smart:
Hello that’s me, the Tall Man of the group.
