Greetings. My name is Cam and I wanted to create this blog because I know firsthand that life, as experienced by a short male, is beset with multiple challenges that are not often acknowledged or talked about by people (short or not).
There is a growing trend of issues such body dysmorphia, depression and low self esteem among young men and especially men of shorter stature and having battled with these issues myself, I looked to the internet for advice. Unfortunately, the vast majority of information I found was negative, shrouded in self hate and self pity. Furthermore, platforms offering such advice either do not exist or mostly contain advice doled out by people who aren’t short themselves and have an opinion on rather than intimate experience of the matter.
Personally, I wish there was someone to teach me the stuff I know now at the age of 15 as it would have saved many years of depression, loneliness, and heartache.
Hence, the prime purpose of this blog is to create a platform where I can document my life experiences and learnings so far and to write about what it is like being a short guy – whether it is navigating the rather brutal dating world, progressing in your career/academia, or simply trying to understand yourself better. I plan on sharing tips of how I have overcome or am overcoming challenges in various areas with the hopes that it may be of some value to someone reading this.
A little bit more about me
My name is Cam. I’m a 5’3 Indian guy who was born and raised in Muscat, Oman before deciding to take the leap and move to England for University and after a rather convoluted journey, is living and working in London.
I have a keen interest in fitness, travelling, the outdoors, the outdoors, books, entrepreneurship, and most of all, self development.
