Is it really that short? I know it’s on the shorter end of adult female height but it’s hardly a midget/dwarf size is it?



My partner is 5ft11 and everyone he knows tells him that about me and people I know often comment it too. I don’t think nearly 5ft2 is all that uncommon. Even average height seems to be only 5ft3 / 5ft4 for women in the UK.



I find a lot of women are only about 1-2 inches taller than me so visually look like the same height as me but even they think I’m tiny.



I am fairly skinny too (on thinner side of healthy BMI) but for some people being thin makes them look taller and I have narrow shoulders and a 28 inch rib cage which is probably adding to the small stature to the point I feel self conscious about it.
