    Well over 2 meters… wow, that must be inconvenient. I’m just over 6 foot and everything feels like it was built for people way shorter than me. Showers, kitchen counters, airline seats, etc.

      Overall I like it, I’m a pretty introverted person and tend to stay in the background by nature, but being this tall means that I get noticed no matter what.

      That being said, I’m writing this from the back of an Uber and i can’t put my head straight up here. And the only way to fly is in an emergency exit seat.

      I can only buy clothes in specialised shops, but these days most have web shops, so that has become a lot easier.

        I appreciate you staying in the background for us shorties to be able to sit in the foreground and see anything 🙏

      Things like that are generally built to the “average” height to be comfortable for the greatest number of people, which in the past 80 years or so has been 5’ 8".

      I would imagine it would be more uncomfortable for shorter people than for us tall people.
