How can I accept that I will never be a petite woman?

I’ve always been jealous of the tiny/petite or smaller women. I’m jealousy of average height and shorter women. I’ve alway been taller and bigger than most women. Probably 95% bigger than most women. I’m 6ft, large built, 235lbs, wide hips, broad shoulders and I feel manly. I’ve been dumped twice for my height and size. My first boyfriend dumped me for a petite, short girl. He broke my heart. I would look on the internet for surgery to make me shorter and have shorter feet but I know it’s impossible. I still look up surgery to make me little shorter. Im currently losing weight. I don’t understand why short or average height women want to be as tall as me! I’m tired of hearing “Oh I wish I was taller/as tall as you! You’re so lucky and you get taken more seriously.”
My friend called me “intimidating” and said that I’m so intimidating that I scare most guys off but it’s a good thing and people listen to me and take me seriously when I’m pissed.
Anyways I am still jealous of petite and average height women. I hate my size 13/14W feet! So tired of being disrespected and people making a huge deal about my size. I’m 20.

I've always accepted that I will never be a petite woman. I'm big, and as it happens my husband loves my plus size figure. You'll do yourself a massive favour if you think like that and remove the word "ugly" from your screen name for a start.

It is not a good thing if people take you seriously when you're drunk. Do they take you seriously when you're sober?

Above all, DO NOT BE JEALOUS. If you feel jealousy towards someone, seek help.

@Crazychick Exactly. I was very jealous of taller friends as a teen because I'm petite. I met guys who mocked me for how tiny and skinny I was.

One guy even measured my thighs and length etc and laughed at me and then dumped me because I was too skinny. I thought it was something wrong with my body. I felt ugly and worthless.

But then I learned that everyone has different preferences and that what others dislike doesn't have to do with my worth. And that his behavior was sick. It tells more about him than me.

And today I have gained lots of curves and are not underweight, and yet I felt insecure, I had to yet again face to love myself and accept my new size and shape. It was a process but now I have accepted it.

This was just yet an evidence of how our appearances are something we all must accept. And that it's possible to do so no matter what we look like. And if we do. We'll notice others who do too.

@Queendragonfly @LaylaTheTallGirl Where I come from these mean comments are rare. People come in all shapes and sizes and it's Live-and-let-live City here.

@Crazychick Yeah. I understand men and women have preferences but it doesn’t mean they should dump us because we’re not the ideal body shape or figure for them! It’s not our job to please them. Right?

@LaylaTheTallGirl That is rarely the reason why people dump their partners around here. Couples here split for other reasons.
