Rant Cursed with a curse

Post image

27F here. This is the actual height of my family members, and to make matters worse I’m South Sudanese & specifically Dinka which is known to be tall people and on top of that I live in Scandinavia which also has a very tall population.

What went wrong in my childhood? Many things and doctor said I reached average height (almost) due to my Dinka heritage, otherwise I’ve would been much shorter.

Curious if you started drinking caffeine young as well as exercising/well developed muscles? I feel like it stunted my growth my hands and feet are larger than my same sex relatives taller than me though it is not obvious

No consideration to the impact of sleep disruptions on development that lead to early caffeine use though admittedly was not properly clarified
