It’s never easy when your body doesn’t fit into society’s “norms.”

For people who are very tall, the whole world looks like an obstacle course filled with objects to bang your head on. In the United States, the standard doorway entrance is 80″ high, or about 6’6″. That means anyone over that height has to duck simply to walk into a room! Meanwhile, in other countries the population is much shorter… and they have the doorways and ceilings to match. It can be tough out there for tall folks!
