I'm about the same, and I've always wondered the same thing. I'm a little over 5'6, and 115 pounds, and people are always remarking how tall I am. Sometimes I think the fact that I'm so skinny, is what makes me seem/look taller.
When I was really little, my doctor told my mom that he thought I would grow up to be about 5'8 or 5'9. Well, looks like he was wrong. :p And in elementary school I'd practically tower over people. Haha! People would say, 'you should get into modeling' or 'you should play basketball'. But once I got around middle school age, and into high school, I felt like I was more average, and maybe even shorter. People who used to be so much shorter than me, just sprung up, and then I was no longer one of the tall ones. :p
I think its probably a good height to be at. I think average height is probably 5'5ish. Either way, it doesn't matter much to me what height a person is. We all come in many different shapes and sizes. And a lot of times I've noticed how short people wanna be tall, and tall people wanna be short. Its whatever to me really. I guess as long as everything is in proportion with your body. ;)
Is it normal that people think I'm tall?
