Can someone dislike me just because I’m a tall female?

I’ve been mocked, commented and been criticized for being a big, large young lady. I used to be slender before I gained so much weight during puberty. I remember being 165 in grade 6 or 7th and then after that…..BOOM!!! I’ve gained so much weight! I was 5’9 in 6th grade and 5’10 in 7th. I’ve been 5’11” 3/4 since I was 13. Kids though I was the teacher and I got called out for slouching. My dad would criticize me for slouching and sternly told me to stand up straight and be a lady! Even my own family (not everyone) commented on how tall I am and how big my feet are. I was left out because I was the tallest and biggest girl. I got picked on but never beat up because of my size. Boys never wanted to be seen by me because it would be too embarrassing to date a tall and enormous girl. Ouch that was harsh. One time a middle age woman looked shocked and said to her husband, “OMG honey that girl is HUGE!! 😳”
And they walked off quickly. I could HEAR her and that hurt. Why are we hated so much? Sometimes I wish I was 5’6 or even 5’4”
Even tall men don’t like big tall women.

Any man who doesn't want to be with you is intimidated by you. They cannot handle someone who can look them in the eye. My brother's daughter stands 6 feet, wears a size 11 shoe, and loves to wear 3" to 4" heels. She's studying Law in college. She once had a guy tell her that he cannot stand tall women because he cannot look down and admire their boobs.

Stand up straight and be the strong woman that your father believes you to be. Don't worry about idiots, since that's all they'll ever be.

And just remember Heidi Klum, Tyra Banks, Charlize Theron, Elle McPhearson, and many others are tall powerful women.

@dakotaviper DANG!!! He said that to her face?! Jeez! I can’t stand guys like that. I swear most guys no offense are very brutally blunt when it comes to women and their sizes. Guys have no filter. How did she react to that?

I do like Charlize Theron.

@LaylaTheTallGirl Melania Trump is 6'0". She was next to me in an elevator and I had maybe 1" on her. I was hoping the elevator got stuck
