This is me when I'm not doing the stuff for my regular blog. That means not necessarily as careful, not necessarily as able to do things, lots of things could be different than usual. I don't do trigger warnings, and I have genuine well thought out reasons that aren't just some kind of callous BS.

Yeah, I'm really short and small. People try to pick me up and I'm usually on eye level with people's nipples.

Stranger:
I'm really tall. I can't imagine what it's like to be short.

Me:
I always get tucked into people's armpits when they hug me.
-
Stranger:
Great, now I'm going to be self-conscious about my pits whenever I hug short people.

Me:
We're looking up your nose.

Stranger:
I KNEW IT! I KNEW SHORT PEOPLE WERE DOING THAT!

Me:
Only if we're mocking you.

Heee, the funny thing is, I (a fellow short person) do actually often look up people's noses. Not on purpose, mind you, it's just that they're THERE. What I've learned from this is that, on average, most people's noses are incredibly hairy on the inside regardless of how hairy (or hairless) the person is overall.

Also, randomly...I've noticed this weird thing where people I meet for the first time on the Internet (or via email) assume I'm tall. Like tall for a woman, even, in the 5'9"+ range. When in actuality I barely hit 5'3" with shoes on. I guess even in pictures I just seem to have a type of wiry build that's more often associated with tallness (to the point where unless I'm standing next to average-to-tall people in said pictures you don't get much of a sense of my actual height, or lack thereof.

(youneedacat replying):
People think I'm very tall from Internet pictures too and I'm only 5'2". And I'm fat so it isn't that kind of build. Someone once said its because I'm in a wheelchair accessible apartment and I'm therefore taller than my fridge etc. but that doesn't explain all of it either.
