Dear Felix,

Can i really get ride of the core problem if i still wanna wear tall shoes/sandals? Or i can wear it, but i must accept if my friends find out how tall i am when im barefoot?

You can wear tall shoes – it’s similar to women wearing make-up to look better. What’s unhealthy is when you start freaking out if you appear short in a photo. In this recent situation, you started having an extreme reaction – you hit the wall, screamed and couldn’t calm yourself down.

If a woman would start panicking if people saw her without her make-up, you would probably agree that it’s an overreaction. Same as you: if you wear tall shoes to camouflage your height – fine. But if you freak out when the camouflage doesn’t succeed – that’s what’s not healthy.
