Being short definitely has its downsides but it also has its "upsides".
I'm here to share to all of you 2 advantages of being small (based on what I've experienced).
1. "Don't mind me, I'm just passing through!"
I've been to play screenings and concerts and usually there are a lot of people. It's packed with people! Once I'm inside the stadium or the place, I just simply squeeze in. I have a very thin body and I'm short so a perfect combination! People usually help me get from the back to the front.
2. It can keep you humble, if you let it.
Petite life means you get lots of practice with people dumping obnoxious, knee-jerk commentary on you without thinking. People have a tendency to say very blatant things to short folks (and probably very tall people too) that they’d never say about other, more sensitive physical traits — and they usually don’t even realize how offensive it can sound. This can be ammunition in life, because by the time you’re in the grown-up world meeting all kinds of people who are were raised differently than you, you’ll know better than to ever make a rude offhand comment about what makes them stand out — and if they try to pull that on you, you’ll have plenty of well-practiced snarky-yet-graceful retorts to reply with.
