I think the title says it all. but that didn't get it off my chest.

Nothing get me more frustrated and angry than making fun of me over something that I cant change in myself. I mean if you make fun of something that I do by my choice, I have a choice to stop it by not doing that thing or just accepting what I get from it.

Anyhow, being short is my problem here, I can't do nothing to fix it. and what is making it even worse is that the guys I hang out with are relatively tall. so in the middle I look like the dot in 11.111. and they are always trying to make a new joke of how short I'm. Although it hurts deep deep inside, I try to cover it and laugh with them. I tried to talk to some of them and convince them to quit doing that. They show some sympathy , which I really hate, and say that they won't do it anymore. but it takes only a week or sometimes a day to start making fun of me again.

and Damn it sucks !
 
If it bothers you so much, make it a big deal. Flip the fuck out one day and say "I'm tired of this shit!" That usually calms them the fuck down for good

Also, try countering with insults about tall people. There all jokes about tall folk everywhere. Just look them up.
 
Betcha you're taller than me! I'm 23 years old, and only about 5'4". I haven't got any weight to me, either, at about 120 pounds. I'm fine with my height, but I wouldn't mind gaining a little weight...which I can't seem to do.

A good number of my friends are also a fair bit taller than me, with at least a couple being close to six and a half feet.

I get alot of short jokes thrown my way, but I've learned to either just laugh at/with them, or make a quick comeback at the other person with a tall joke or fat joke or something. Sometimes my retorts bite a little hard, but usually they work, and the people I'm sayin' them to/about realize that it's just in fun!

It comes down to just being able to laugh at yourself. Sure, I still get embarrassed now and then when I do something stupid or screw something up, but I've learned to laugh at myself alot. It's hard to get through life being major self conscious.
 
:confused: why isn't there anyone making fun of my English !?
am I that pathetic ? :confused:

damn you people, it hurts !



done that, :D two days and jokes were back.
and Tall people jokes, humm, the thing is I suck in saying jokes. so that would give them another reason to make fun of me.



Let's just say SHORT, Why do you need numbers? I hate numbers!



at some point you get sick of it, that was exactly last night.



Hummm, for starters I'm, shorter than you :D. and I used to laugh on myself alot, at some points I made jokes on how short I'm myself. But, it's funny only when I say it.

Anyhow, thanks all for replying. I actually didn't post looking for a solution, because, lets face it I'm short and there is nothing to change about that. and of course, there will always be this someone who gets a joke in his head and won't stand not letting it out. I just posted here because I was so frustrated last night, but now I feel okay.

So, Again, thanks all :happysad:
 
If you want them to really stop all you have to do is this. The very next time any of them do it, ask them why they do, and what exactly do they get from making personal jabs at you. More than likely, no matter how quickly they might respond (usually it will just be a "oh, you know I'm just messing with you"), they will make an effort to stop. No matter what they say just tell them the jokes are no longer funny to you and it's beginning to annoy you. If they're really your friend they won't want that to happen.

EDIT: Don't lose your temper or yell. Sometimes people get a sick sense of pleasure seeing someone lose it. Just make the statements and then let it go. They'll know you meant it and won't like it.

I'm 5'2" and I'm constantly teased about my height (even being a female) and it does get old but I brush it off. I suppose they have bigger issues themselves if they have to constantly point out mine. ;)
 
It is better to be really short {you}than really reallystupid. { Ann the man Coulter or other various pretentious assholes who can be inserted here}.............
 
Then you didn't make it a big enough deal. You really need to learn how to build up drama.

Also, if you're not good at countering with jokes, practice a while. This should finally get you able to build up the ammo for the sky scrapers.

One of my faves I've ever heard was actually from Garfield that a friend of mine did in RL.

... except instead of shredding the guy's pants, he pulled them down. We were at a mall.
