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?

My partner who was 5 ft and due to age is 4'10" is about to start telling people they are discriminating against short people.

@cherokeepatti she feels when someone says "Your so Short" its equal to saying one of the lines that have been excluded by society about other peoples size or other features.
