I'm probably the exact oppisite. Being a man of...oh lets say...not so tallness, I get what's called "napoleon complex," i'm sure you've seen it reer its ugly head around here more than once. I've just got this defensive attitude, don't take shit from anyone style that comes from living in a conservative, restrictive small town and my height. I always have this feeling of being overlooked and passed off, and because of that, I have to get in peoples faces and kick a lil' ass to get things done. So that's how you can get over it. Imagine yourself shorter than you really are.
What are you afraid of?
