Well first you are having a distorted believe that you are only a shell of yourself. You don't think that you are going to be more depressed if you have the mindset that there's no point in trying. Instead of the woe is me mentality you should be.focusing on getting taller or die trying.

I am definitely far from being my maximum potential due to height.
I wish it was possible. But LL would only cripple me as a martial artist.

You can't have everything in life.
I could have been a pro bber but I sacrificed all my pro capabilities to do LL because I believed that this was more important for me.
If you think that martial arts are the most important for you focus on that but if you are not a professional athlete imo LL will make your life better as self confidence is the most important imo and I could never have it with my initial height.
Body builder do you think Batman over here should feel that bad as he writes. Did you feel like this when you were at your shortest.
I never felt that bad Bander only because since my teen years I knew about LL and I always believed that if I wasn't ok with my height I would change it.
If I could never change my height then maybe yes, I'd feel like that, I am not sure though.
However I never felt that bad because when I was down I always thought that I will be the one I want after LL and I only had to be patient to save the money and do it.
Now I live my life almost at max but I know that everything will be easier after another one LL, if things go well of course. It is completely different compared to before my first LL when I was 1.68 and I just waited to do LL but still I'd really wanted to have the money and do it the faster I can and also not have the fear to lose my job and all these.
If I was rich I'd have done it tomorrow morning. But unfortunately I just have a medium income and internals are expensive.
I can understand Wayne but I don't know if doing martial arts is preferable than seeing yourself as you want and feel completely free to live your life at max.
I hope he'll do the right choice. For me LL was definitely more important than pro bbing.

You at your original height (168 cm?)- I can live fully/feel happy when I get to (your current height) through LL
You at your current height- I can live life to the max when I get to (your height after the next LL)
You at your height after 2 LL's- I'll be fully happy and complete after (i get that next promotion, get married, become financially independant, whatever your goals are etc etc)
You realize the goal post always gets moved right? You get to your goal and the rush of victory is momentary. Then it's on to the next thing. Not judging you for it. It's literally human nature. Cavemen didn't invent fire and say, "Wow this is amazing I won't need anything else ever again". They wanted more, and that's how we ended up making skyscrapers and robots. Nothing wrong with that. Just don't chase your goals to the grave and make that your condition for happiness.
The point is not to prolong your happiness for an event in the future, whether it's LL, graduating college, finding a soulmate etc, because there will always be the future. There's always something you can improve on. Meaning if you life your life for the future, you wont ever really let yourself live life fully.
This is honestly why I get so peeved about all of these threads. It's because if you relay on external factors for happiness whether it's women or money or height, you will never be truly happy. Trust me I'm still not able to fully practice this, but this is something I think we should be leaning towards.
This isnt really about you, i think you've probably have not held back much after you got LL. This is for the people who have years to go to save and dont allow themselves to live fully at their original height. This is why i always same the same damn thing, dont relay on LL to make you happy. I remember someone commenting something about if your a loser before LL then you'll be a loser afterwards, fix whatever issues you have now, so that when you get LL you can go on to live a full life.
I know your not extreme like a lot of people posting but this forum has become very toxic lately and its pretty sickening.

I really don't think LL will even help you.

Zeo, You really make an excellent point here, for many of us to stand back and consider. We need to be honest with ourselves if that bar will always be moved. I like your honesty about not fully being to practice all the advise you give.
I think Bodybuilder also makes some great points. I am currently at his original height and preparing to do internal femurs to get to 5'9". I am a little older that most here, and have lived a happy, successful life. I've never had any issues with women, ever, although I also know that some have been off limits due to my height. Although most who know me consider me a very outgoing, secure and confident person, only I know deep inside that my full potential has not been reached or will not be reached for reasons directly related to height PERIOD. I know that my self esteem is not fully there, especially when surrounded by taller people. Unless I completed LL, that will never change. God willing I can complete the full 7.6 cm.
My confidence boost once I get rid of heightism will be enormous! As for myself, at my age, 5'9" (closer to 5'10" with dress shoes), will be sufficient. I will just continue to live a healthy and fit lifestyle and make the most of my new height. Where I stand now, I don't feel like the need to raise that bar further will be there.
As you said Zeo, it is truly important for those considering CLL to fix the issues they have now before venturing into LL.
All the best.

How do you know I am an incel? I just want hot women.
I don't know if you're incel but you're a complete utter idiot. That's being said with all honesty, sorry.
