Short man syndrome

Has anyone noticed, perhaps in a workplace, that short men tend to be randomly unnecessarily aggressive and always a little bit on the edge? It kind of comes out of nowhere. I remember one of them randomly just shouting.
It's kind of like they feel a desperate need to give off the impression that they are hard.
Apparently it is actually an evolutionary trait.
Lionel messi is a chilled secure short bloke. They should all be looking up to him (assuming they are a bit shorter than messi)
There's nothing wrong with being short. Just watch lord of the rings, the hobbit, have a beer and don't support Charlton.

I take comfort from being a strapping 6 footer and for having more than the average number of limbs for a human0

It's usually known as Napoleon syndrome after Napoleon Bonaparte.

Warwick Davis seems like a nice guy1

He is a nice guy yeh but he's not short, he's a midget.
This particular discussion is a bit unusual but it's down to short people I've recently met in a working environment and they have anger issues.
I put short 2 and 2 together and got 4foot 12
If you Google short man syndrome, you will find out that it is actually a genuine psychological difficulty.
There is nothing wrong with being short.
It's just the short person may believe there is something wrong and they can often express it.
I don't think short man syndrome is a problem for every shortish individual.
It's just every now and again you may meet an angry short Scott parker1 -
It’s no wonder short people get angry if you call them midgets. That’s seen a derogatory wordDave2l said:SamB09 said:Warwick Davis seems like a nice guy

It's about time the mods on here banned everyone under 5 foot 8.

In a previous role (nearly 40 years ago so really previous!) the CEO was about 5'. His office desk was huge with a boardroom table coming off it at 90 degrees - and somewhat lower. All the chairs were low and his big chair was high - and when you looked under the table you could see his feet dangling about 2 feet off the ground. He was a horrible little shit!Still, it was the workplace (Pearce Signs in New Cross) where I met my missus, so not all bad.P.S. I hasten to add that I'm 5'10" so totally agree with Blackpool!3

I try and borrow money off them.
But they're always a bit short.
Or in a rut.0 -
