Rich: I don't feel so bad about my height as I used to. I'm actually pretty ok with it.

How do I deal with people joking about my height?

Rich: They usually back off. My friends know it's a bit of a touchy subject for me even if I'm fine with my height. I don't like being bulled, or joked about. My entire early life was filled with crap about how my growth was stunted, even though both my parents aren't much taller than me. I will put someone in their place if they talk to me like that.

However since my Squip was flushed out I've been a lot calmer about it. I usually walk away or ask someone to help if it gets too much. Jake is usually really supportive of me, so I can joke about my own insecurities a little bit without getting violent or going into a rage like I used to.
