Your height, your weight and general size of your body and every single part of it can influence the way you think about yourself or anything around. Life's perspective depends on your physical conditions and is always affecting your model of your world inside your mind, this can change your experience more or less about certain matters in life. Did you ever thought about it? What's your opinion about topic? Does the big people think diffrently? How do we treat each other regarding our body size? I know myself that there is huge difference between me and my friends who are much smaller. I would like to focus on why is it like that to help us understand differnt point of view and life's issues based on our diversity.

Thanks for response, I'm 6'5 3/4 and I haven't finish my degree in music due to various circumstances in my life. I cannot blame only my height or size but for sure it had an effect on how people treated me sometimes. It is great difference for me. that's why I started this discussion. To find more about psychology of human being in real life. Althought I am very ambitious and creative person with artisic side in life and very practical, sensitive and joyful. Sometimes I assume that people can't see it beacuse of my size !!? Most of people always starts conversation from pointing on my height, which is taking a lot of time of my life answering same questions or comments every time. Eventually often I cannot express myself in a field I want to beacuse of the other side is allready impressed by something else (my natural look). Hmm.. ok.. I don't want to complain, there is some advantages too, it's respect, greater attention and this is why is afecting my life because of my size. Others with more normal shapes don't have to deal with it and can focus more on someting more interesting. I wish I was 4 inches less sometimes.

When I was 16 years old I was 16 stone, 6 foot 1 and I was ridiculed and bullied at school, even when I started school I was fat, I hated my body, I had a thyroid problem which made losing weight difficult, I had low self-esteem and I couldn't stand up for myself, I couldn't fight and I was useless, I hated school, even in work I was bullied, the size of my body got me down, I was "38 waist, I would diet constantly and fail, binge, and fail and I never had a girlfriend, no one wanted me, I had little or no friends. Then I joined a gym and I shed the weight I went from 16 stone to 12.7 stone, and I began to feel confident, my self-esteem rose because I was wanted. I never ever want to be fat, trouble is I am paranoid about getting fat, my father is fat and I am at the gym 4/5 times a week, sometimes doing 2 hours a time training, working out. My waist size has gone down to "32 now. But still the past haunts me as I think of myself as that bullied child and I fear putting on weight. My self-esteem still needs work on it but at least I can honestly say my confidence is high. Now my body actually actracts people and that makes me feel good.
