Is it possible that some people are racist towards short people?

Im 4ft5, I find since ive lived here about 11 yrs, people dont seem to want to befriend me much, other places where i used to lived i would go hang out with people all the time, maybe cause i was younger back then, and even when i worked in resorts i always had a chance to visit with people or go places with them, where i live now, not even neighbors will visit with me, they'll knock on everyone elses door but never on mine, and yes ive knocked on theres but not as much now, i go to some of the christian churches out here, and yesterday i was at this bible study, and two people at the table where talking about going out to lunch together, i almost felt like saying can i join you or why didnt you ask me? but i didnt, at another bible study yesterday, i needed a ride home bad cause it was so windy that i just couldnt walk in it literally, i asked but noone could do it, i think some had to go to work or wherever and others had vans or trucks i couldnt reach so i asked someone if i could use their phone which they were nice enough to do and i called this girl that does rides with elizabeth, ive ridden with her before and asked her to pick me up and i paid for the ride, she owns her own cab company, i only lived a couple of blocks away but the wind was so bad i couldnt walk it, then when i go to church, noone ever invites me over for dinner, out to eat or anything, i go and then go home,so is this happening cause people see me as a child and dont want to hang out with a child or what, and no i cant wear high heels, i would trip over everything, i do look young for my age like you can tell on my picture, im just trying to understand whats going on and how to solve it. the senior center where i live a block away is doing trips again, i wondered if maybe i should sign up for some, i thought of going before but then the pandemic hit and they closed the place for 1 1/2 yrs, any ideas of whats going on and how to solve it? i want a life too. thought of doing stuff like volunteering to visit people in homes that dont have visitors but now thanks to covid i cant, also, had wanted to do stuff like be a big sister but couldnt cause they wont let you if you dont drive, i live alone and ive never married or had kids so its not like i can hang out with them, any suggestions? thought of moving away, so is it true some people dont want to befriend people that are short and look like kids?

4'5 isn't that short. But I could see how someone might assume you to be a child. You are the same height as a friend of mine. She never had a problem making friends, but she would get anxiety sometimes and hated getting teased for her height. And she would get creepy guys treating her like a child or wanting her to act like a child. She is married now. Also she is so skinny , she sometimes has to shops in the kids clothing section which doesn't help her. I told she should pick up sewing so she can alter things herself if she likes. But she always tells me she is too lazy.

I am sorry that you are feeling lonely and that it hasn't been easy... and that it's been difficult to make friends. Keep trying. Hope you make a friend soon. Try to pick up a hobby where you are around other people and hopefully you make a friend. You might have to do the initiating and the inviting at first.

@Scribbles Technically, anything under 4'10" is considered a midget. Or whatever word they're using now instead. I agree, though, it's not really that short.
