I am 5'8 and 21 years old.

I was always devastated about being short. It was so hard for me to deal with it but I somehow ignored it and worked on myself. Managed to get an amazing girl but I became a beta and she left me and cheated on me.

It took me a year to forget about her. I start talking with my long forgotten best female friend.

Now, she rejected me 3 years ago and never told me why but I always thought its because of my height. I am much different now, muscular, more successful, have my own place. Life is great

And she notices it. I can see she is highly interested in me. She even sent me nudes and we planned on meeting up until she asked my about my height...

She just asked me out of nowhere how tall am I since she claimed she forgot and we didnt see each other since we were 17. I told her I am 5'8 ( didnt grow at all since 17...) and she starts making fun off me.

She told me she "cant believe she criticised her ex for being 6 feet tall when I am only 5'8" After that she just ghosted me and we never spoke again

I am absolutely devastated. Not because of her. she is shallow and rude. Its just that I got rejected for something that I can never change and never work on it..I would rather be 6 feet tall but the ugliest dude in the universe, at least I could work out and do something about it ... if nothing at least theres surgery to fix nose/ears/jawline or whatever. Theres nothing I can do about this and it devastated me because I know I will be rejected plenty of times in the future because of this as well.
