Making Tall Feel Small

Im told that small people sometimes get a littke freaked, when tall people, stand next to them. Personally im 6 foot 1, which is pretty tall for women. A friend of mine is 6 foot 5, so he's used to being tall and feeling tall. Until two twins stood on either side of him. They were both 6 foot 8. Only 3 inches taller, but to my mate that 3 inches was huge, he felt like they were towering over him. This was the first time in his life that he ever felt short
