For a very long time I've been paranoid about my height, I didn't like being tall, I didn't like standing out. Of late however, my self-confidence has slowly grown since the lows of early 2000. It has had little to do with me personally, but receiving compliments tends to build self-confidence, even if you lack the natural ability to be absolutely positive. Not to say that I feel 100% confident about my body image, I still feel somewhat reserved about exposing my broad shoulders and somewhat flabby waist. But today I wore my boots with the 3-inch heels, I now enjoy being tall, and sometimes I guess I like to show off the fact that I can be taller still. Perhaps this same enjoyment will one day extend to the whole of my body.
