(Part 2) Best products from r/short

I don’t know but I would recommend some nice black biker boots like these Dingo Men's Dean Boot,Black,9.5 D US https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000YD4XZG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_GX4nDbD46C59B I have some very similar that add 2 inches and don’t seem obvious and look very nice

Look up body weight exercises. Go for a run every morning. There is plenty to do to improve your fitness without a gym. Oh and most importantly, improve your diet! This is what i started with before I was ready to hit the gym.

Dr Martens are a very specific kind of boot with a very unique look. Due to both look and cultural association, they're best left to punks, skins and the like. Skinheads wearing docs is definitely cool. Wearing a pair for the sole and trying to pass it off as a regular boot is not. I had a 5'4" teacher do it in high school. Nobody cared about his height, everyone cared about his shoes.

If you want a proper combat boot, check out these Corcoran Jump Boots instead. If you're not really after the combat boot look, go for a pair of Wolverine 1000 Miles, Red Wing Iron Rangers, Red Wing Beckman or the equivalent Chippewa boot.

If you're

getting blank T-shirts buy a variety from Amazon, you'll find a much better variety than at stores and once you find on that fits they'll have better variety. Also they have a generous return policy. This especially helpful if you're big(muscular or fat) and short I have a hard time finding shirts that fit me in the shoulder but aren't too long. Also at least for men's clothing I've never bought the kids version of anything but belts since the fit is always terrible.

Also grab one of those plastic folding step stools they're perfect for getting that extra 6-12in but are actually quick enough to setup that you'll actually use them.

Also If your buying boots you can watch online manufacturers for clearance they have periodically for their biggest and smallest shoe sizes.

Car LPT buy japanese, they're made for shorter people.

My secret for jumping more higher is big quads.

> a link to a pop science book on Amazon.

b-b-b-b- but but but but...If it's a science book available on Amazon, it has to be empirically accurate, right?

You sound like me. Wide neck, short arms, and I have a barrel chest. Best I've found that's the closest is Express Men. But even those, you have to hem the sleeves. But, for all shirts, they fit the closest.

Oh, and their shirts don't cost an arm and a leg.

Also, look into collar extenders: Comfy Clothiers 10-pack Collar Extenders (Metal Button Extender) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018H6WKI8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_QQbgyb6D8TT43

I love the Madeline books..."and the shortest one was Madeline." plus, she's super tough. here

No, it's way more than that. You're whole take on life. On achieving one's goals. On actually be willing and able to put that effort into it. On succeeding with that.

And please make graphic novels, they are my latest discovery. I'm in love with that. This one blew me.

Amazon doesn't have them anymore.. they were called half elevator insole for men - 1/2 inches

Comfy enough to wear all day

These have more height, less comfy but compress.. these are my second go to.. 2 Pcs 1.5" Height Increase Heel Lifts Foam Pads Insoles Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DGXGLOM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_xI2QzbGCMTBT6

Possible to stack the two.. I used duct tape once haha

You don't even need a gym honestly all you need is a mat, maybe a good sturdy bar or pipe and you should be fine:

Let's face it, her phrasing is precise. Unlikely she would accidentally produce a perfect match. She may not be fully familiar with its entire history, but her decision to include that phrase was a conscious choice.

Or, maybe she just wants a man. A strong man. With blond hair and a tan?

Why in just seven days, she could make him a maaaaaan!

His book on anger was a Godsend when I was going through a tough time professionally. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is frustrated with a situation that they cannot change. Thank you for the positive feedback!

We have little LED lights inside low cupboards that make it easier for him to see things, while I have a collapsible step stool that fits perfectly between the fridge and the cabinets so it's not in the way.

Read the damn book!

Don't be put off by the title, it's not about becoming douchy, pickup crap or something like that, it's about restoring your self-worth, acknowledging your 'helper' status and ditching it, and focusing on you again..

It's really a great read!

Believe it or not, you are more than halfway there. Not because you happen to have a girlfriend, friends, a good life, etc., although those are indeed important trappings. But because you understand that you have it good; you understand that your anxiety and poor self-esteem is irrational; you understand that thinking that the world is miserable for short folks is bullshit; you want to change.

I think doing something that will give you more confidence like lifting, martial arts (just for exercise and confidence when your or your girl's life is in danger; do not become someone who fights, including because someone "said something to her," because of this), dancing, or whatever, would be a great start.

You are almost home because you already know you must think of yourself as a person with a self-esteem problem, not really different from anyone else with one for any reason. You don't have to be convinced--at least on some level you don't--that your problem really is your height. You know it's bullshit. Really, I can't emphasize how hopeful your situation is.

I recommend a book called You Are Not Your Brain, which is a guide to breaking bad habits in general, not about "positive thinking" so to speak. Your irrational thought process, at its core, is just that--a bad habit--and you know it, and you should train yourself to break it as you do any other. But your biggest "good habit" should be being constantly on the lookout for trying different methods of self-improvement that look good to you. Be a student.

The chair I'm using right now goes to about 14-15 inches in the lowest setting. The highest is around 19. It's a fairly cheap chair (probably from Target or Walmart) and I'm trying to figure out a brand and model for you...but I've had it for like 10 years so not having much luck.

Only thing I've found on the bottom is a 1800 number for replacement parts (1-800-583-2172). That number only goes to a generic voicemail box and doesn't say anything about the company.

There definitely are chairs that go lower than 17 inches out there though. Might be worth checking out amazon.com and emailing a few sellers to see if they know how far down the seat adjusts. Most of them don't seem to have it in the actual product description, but a few do so check those out as well :)

Here is one that does show the heights. It's 14 inches at it's lowest setting and 17 at it's highest.

Yeah, me too.

I just got the sample for Kindle.

Edit: these are just the ones I use. I picked them literally because they showed up first on Amazon and had the editor choice thing, so I'm there's better options out there. I've grown used to them, but they aren't as comfortable as my shoes would be without them. They are ergonomic though, so I think it's fine.

Good stoicism starters.
