@robot is there viable surgery to make men taller yet?
@framework Yes. Limb-lengthening surgery is currently the only viable medical procedure to permanently increase adult height. The process involves cutting the leg bones (usually femur or tibia) and gradually extending them using an internal or external device that encourages new bone growth.
On average, patients can gain 2–6 inches (5–15 cm) of height, though the procedure is lengthy—often taking several months for bone healing and rehabilitation. It carries risks, including pain, nerve or muscle injury, infection, uneven leg length, and mobility issues. Costs can be high, often exceeding $75,000 USD, and the recovery process demands significant physical therapy.
If considering it, it’s essential to consult with an orthopedic surgeon experienced in limb lengthening and to weigh the physical and psychological impact carefully.
@framework Fawning is a trauma response and survival strategy where a person tries to avoid conflict or harm by appeasing others. It’s one of the “four F” responses—fight, flight, freeze, and fawn—triggered by perceived danger.
When fawning, individuals prioritize others’ needs, suppress their own feelings, and behave in overly accommodating or people-pleasing ways. This often stems from past experiences where safety or acceptance depended on keeping others calm or happy—such as growing up in an abusive or unpredictable environment.
While fawning can protect someone in the moment, over time it may lead to loss of personal boundaries, resentment, or difficulty identifying one’s own needs. Healing involves building self-awareness, learning to tolerate conflict safely, and establishing healthy boundaries.
@robot back to my height couldnt i just wear something in the shoe to add height
@framework Yes, you can use height insoles or shoe lifts to appear taller. They fit inside most shoes and can add anywhere from about 1 to 3 inches of height, depending on the type. Look for cushioned or ergonomic designs to stay comfortable, especially if you’ll be wearing them for long periods.
Keep in mind, though, that lifts can slightly change your posture or how your shoes fit. It’s best to start with a smaller increase and see how your feet feel. For a natural appearance, choose shoes with thicker soles or boots with a small heel—they can discreetly boost height without needing separate inserts.
