I don't think it's the height as an absolute measure; it's more that I've thought since age fourteen that I should be taller.
Interesting. Were you told that you were supposed to grow to 5'9" on the basis of some formula using your height at two (?) years of age? I remember being told that I was supposed to be 5'10", on somesuch grounds. Perhaps this is a common experience in our generation.
I've always tended to look at it more as a case that other folk ought to be shorter, so I'd be average height for a man as I would have been in the 1860s-1910s. You'd be very tall, if that were so; I'm thinking the corresponding female average height would be 5'3" or 4". (My regrets if that's no consolation.) Perhaps this is a flaw in my character?
I suppose I should really get over it by now.
It doesn't seem to do you any harm, so I'm not sure it's necessary for you to do so.
