I Am a Very Tall Woman

Here's my story. I'm a large woman, 6'0/6'1 and wide built. I was big for my age. Like when I was 5 people though I was 8 or 9. At 10 people though I was in high school. Kids were afraid of me. I didn't have much friends accept my best friend. Even my best friend admitted that when she first met me in grade school she flat out told me she was terrified of me. She thought I was going to be a bully. That hurt my feelings so bad. She's 4'10 and average/slender built. She said it took her weeks to come up and talk to me. We're still best friends to this day. Middle school was the worst. Well I had no friends, NOBODY accept my bestie wanted to me friends with me. I was 5'10 in middle school. Kids though I was the teacher. My mom would scold at me to stand up straight. Dad too. He told me a young woman should not be so crooked. He said, "You're tall. What did you expect? People WILL notice you. STAND UP STRAIGHT! AND SMILE!" He and I would butt heads about it. High school is when my best friend moved away. I had 0 friends. I was left out a lot because I was 6'0 and large. Guys refused to go to dances with me. I got rejected and laughed at. I tried to fit on but I always get excluded. I was lonely. Even in my special ed class. At least kids never bullied me or tried anything. They never messed with me. I got teased for my height and size. I tried to lost weight but I always end up gaining it back. I'm 230lbs but nobody believes me and dont think I need to lose any weight because I'm TALL. People make a big deal out of my height.

@IAmBianca96 I am not buying that your height scares people. I know bigger women than you. They see their height as power and are confident in themselves and they PUT THAT CONFIDENCE OUT THERE! What you put out there...you get back. Whatever message you're giving people is what the problem is...not your height.
high schoo is the worst place for people to be who they are, it is a ridiculous mistake to put all those still developing persons in a place where the worst human instincts are being encouraged

Hugs sweetie. I'm so sorry. I can't really understand, as I'm 5'2".I had a dance teacher that was 6'. Look up a thing on instagram and youtube, search for "body positivity". I think you might like it.

people are attracted by confidence and a sense of humor. Got me through school with my own "difference"

Nothing wrong with being tall. You aren't alone.
