1,75m / 5'9" here.
I have to say it, it really sucks.
When I was in the UK i felt like a dwarf. I play sports and it's always been a serious issue for me.
It's even worse as a teacher/lecturer. Even when I taught in China, my male students (I didn't have that many, but still) were almost all taller than me. As in, out of the 20 I had, 15 were taller, 2 shorter and the other three around my height. They even made fun of me (which I didn't mind because it was by no means mean spirited [I taught them the concept of sarcasm and they said "Oh, teacher, you're so tall and black"]).
