Ok so many of us on this forum all have the same goal we want to be taller I’ve seen ppl on this forum as short as 5’0 wanting to go through with ll and seen ppl as tall as 5’11 wanting to do it and while there is a lot of support shown to these people on both sides you always get a few who say no you don’t need to lengthen go do something else etc well if that’s the case why do they believe they deserve to and a taller person doesn’t,
There are more then a few reasons why people might want to do ll even if their on the taller side me for example I’m 5’10 with 3 brothers who range from 6’2-6’4.5 and even have sisters who are like 5’8-5’9 this is my reason for wanting LL because I feel like an outcast I got so depressed about it one time I ever started to believe I was either adopted or my mom had an affair which led to me, which after I questioned to them directly we had blood test come back and proved I wasn’t adopted nor was my theory about an affair true.
What makes this even worse is the fact that I’ve got tall siblings and a tall father my potential children could out grow me big time which doesn’t help the feeling of depression related to height go away. Also if your curious to know my dad is 6’1 and my mom is 5’7
Sick of hearing you don’t need to do LL
None of that reasons is serious enough to do LL at your height.
But don't try to convince anyone, it is your personal choice and you don't have to apologize to anyone about that.
In all that cases I just say that the risks and long term effects of LL don't justify a so crucial surgery but if someone feels really bad about himself and is comoletely sure that height is the main reason then yes, he should do LL.
Thank you for actually looking at the bigger picture with the whole LL thing and not just being one of those guys who basically says this or that you actually have a good view on this kind of thing
Because of scenarios you made up in your head about your mom visiting the milk man justifies you sawing your bones in half to grow a few CM? Do you think your parents love you less because you are a couple inches shorter than your siblings? Your family would be more devistated by you doing LL than by you staying your height.
You can be sick and tired of hearing it all you want, doesn’t make it any less retarded. You don’t need LL at 5’10”.
And I suppose I could say the same to you should you ever choose to get it done it’s called Limb lengthening forum not Limb lengthening forum unless your over such and such height no one asked you to share your thoughts on my choice with this if I do it I do it that’s it and just because one guy says it’s retarded changes nothing that’s your opinion not the opinion of everyone

The reason people say this to you is that most of the people who even consider LL or post on boards like these are people who are actually short and have faced a lifetime of discrimination and oppression because of it.
There is a world of difference between being physically and emotionally attacked and humiliated, passed over for jobs or promotions, unable to attract sxxual partners (what happens to actual short men), and developing a neurosis about being the "runt of the litter" of your family (what happened to you). You are not short anywhere on Earth except maybe a few select European countries with relatively small populations (Denmark, Montenegro, etc). To the overwhelming majority of the rest of the world's population, you are either average height or tall.
Nobody has the right or authority to tell you what to do or not do with your life, but the reality of the matter is your "problems", compared to my and the problems of most actually short men, are laughable non-problems and absolutely ludicrous justifications for spending hundreds of thousands of dollars and years of recovery on a painful, potentially life-threatening, athletically crippling, literally deforming surgery.
Like bodybuilder said: Do whatever you want. You don't need to justify your actions to anyone. But don't expect people with actual problems to sympathize or support your decision.
I agree with what you said bro and I kinda see where the other guy racurz is coming from with feeling short it probably isn’t really that nice of a feeling but I can agree with what you have said based on the whole thing about being laughed and ridiculed about your height and I’m sure a lot of people would give anything to be 5’10 but on the other hand would you really like to be surrounded by giants I suppose it’s also one of those there’s good then there’s better 5’10 good 6’0+ is better
Remember guys we all want the same thing here we all want to be taller who cares about the reasons I tend to believe that a small community that the LL community is we should stick together

It’s not my thoughts it’s the truth. You want people to encourage and be validated by the community so you can feel good about making the decision at your already good height.
For most people here it is a pipe dream to be 5’10” AND have their athletic ability 100%. You are not going to get any pats on the back or sympathy rubs over your sob stories that pale in comparison to people with actual problems.
You are taller than virtually everyone here. Of corse you can do it and hopefully it goes well but at your height, you face no obstacles, so chances are it won’t fix your deeply rooted issues. As there are none.

Unfortunately bro you can’t really do anything about him wanting it I agree with everything you said 100% but nothing we say can really persuade people who are determined to do something as extreme as LL like you said hopefully it goes well and he recovers but his height will lead to a vary touchy subject on this forum and actually could divide the community

I'm in the same boat as you, I'm 5'10.. probably stopped growing because I'm 18 now, might've gained half an inch from 17... How old are you and when did you stop growing?
