This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I'm 5'3 and I've had other dudes that are around the same height as me get pissed off and argumentative when I say that because they're trying to pass themselves off as taller than they are (or maybe they've convinced themselves of that). It's always funny to me because I'd have to be like 8" taller for it to improve anything with the people that give a shit about height. There's no amount of lying that will cover that.

I have the opposite problem. People always insist that I'm taller than I really am because I have a long torso. I guess it lends to a better outcome in some social interactions? Maybe?

You would look higher when sitting, I guess. Not sure if it counts as a social interaction
