Well, I have been running from this for a long time but more and more people are recognizing me on the streets and I’m having literal nightmares about what I did so
Many many years ago I experienced what I thought was an Aha moment. I could add soles to the inside of my shoes and viola, be as tall as you wish.
…what in all that is good and just, holy, and virtuous was I fucking thinking… Even I don’t have an answer. But my dumbass went out in public like that for a while.
I went to clubs, work, hiking, I basically wore my home made height boosting shoes until they were just a tragic, preposterous cry for help.
Fast forward a few years, and I finally fucking snapped out of the delusion. By then, though, it was too late.
I guess some people made a YouTube video of me without my consent and it got a lot of attention.
Ok fine, I ignore that for a good decade.
Now it’s tiktok I guess, because people straight up ask me if I’m ever recognized.
I’m fucked.
TL;DR tried to be taller by altering my shoes to make me stand taller with them on. Completely backfires, there’s a video out there, I have to deal with the reprocessing the rest of my life.

Stop making it your whole identity still, then. Just own it and move on.
there’s a good chance that absolutely nobody noticed you gain or lose an inch or two of height
You get recognized from a ten year old video making fun of your shoes?
Like, you’re claiming random people, that don’t know you, stop you to ask you if you’re “that guy from the video?”
Send me a link to it.
A decade? This is the kind of thing people laugh about for a few minutes and then never think about it again, you’ll be fine
