Q: Help My Body Is Improportionate!
asked by: younglad on July 20th, 2007

Hi...I thought I post this on the women's section because I believe women are far more aware of their body and more caring towards it than men. (No offense to any guys).

Well, this adds to my whole life problems, I have many and this is one of them. I am an 18 year old guy. The thing is, when I see other men and women, I analyze their bodies. They are proportionate. I look at the clothes they wear, and they look good in them. My problem is haunting me, can someone please inform me if there is anything I can do about it...

Basically, my arms and legs are long and skinny whilst my body length is tiny/small!!! I cannot wear a shirt and tuck it in my trousers as I look so awful Crying or Very sad !! I have tried to wear my trousers lower down for a year now, but it is not helping. I feel like this >>> My arms and legs are long thin pencils stuck into a piece of blue tac, which is my body! Embarassed Sad

I cannot wear decent clothes and look good! I have to wear a larger size so that my body looks longer, meaning my bumb is always covered up! If I buy my normal size, my arms look long as well as my legs, and my small body length is exposed!! On the whole, my physique looks odd and ugly despite what I am wearing... The word I get called by my sisters is "ODD BOD" i.e. odd body. They are joking, but it hurts... I cry over this and it haunts me whilst in my bed at night...

I mean fat people (no offense to anyone) can do something about their problem! But me!!! I cannot. Or can I...????? Is there anything I can do???? Crying or Very sad

My arms are skinny and so are my legs and they never ever gain weight. You can literally wrap your hand around my arms i.e on forearm and wrists. But I am not skinny on my stomach and chest, they are okay. I want my body length to increase only NOT THE length OF MY ARMS AND LEGS. I want my body length to increase and gain more meat on my arms and legs. I do not want my legs and arms to grow as they are long enough!! Only my body length!! Crying or Very sad

Have I got a nutritional problem? A weird growth? Anything? My cousin used to be skinny as hell, he had worms, the doctor gave him a specific course of medication, now he is TALLER & BIGGER than me. His arms are THICKER than mine now, before they did not used to be.

Could my problem be the same? Anything please? Because my body length is disgustingly small in comparison to my skinny long arms and my skinny long legs! My self esteem has gone out the window and is far behind in my dark tunnel that I ponder in. And I have cried enough, enough, enough and never enough Crying or Very sad. Please can someone help me... My friends sometimes call me names as jokes and so do my sisters. Me and my friends were all training including my COUSIN. They looked so good and proportionate. Where as I just looked improportionate and that caused me not to focus on anything, nothing at all, even at school. I have already failed my exams due to all this depression. (This problem caused it and so did my other problems as I will tell you, but I want solutions to this problem, which is my improportionate body). Please can someone give me any advice? Please!!! I am going to see my doctor about this and let her anaylse my body. I am depressed, feel ugly and feel like I don't want to live any more. I look at the mirror and any reflection where ever I go and become so depressed. I try to look at myself positively, but I cannot as my problem is real and is staring right back at me. I am seriously depressed... On top of this I have erection, testicles and foreskin problems to cope with... Crying or Very sad. (Never had an erection in my life, testicles are underdeveloped and foreskin is too tight). I am researching and getting the help I need...

I have not fallen yet... I am on the edge fighting on... My erection, testicles and foreskin problems are being dealt with and with lord's blessings and by science, the doctor said I should be cured in no time. I have another battle to fight in, and it is "my lonely improportionate body battle." Please can someone tell me any advice from any personal/general experience or/and any scientific/educational knowledge. Any advice for any solutions? Please I am on my knees, with all these problems in my life... I sometimes think do I want to live??? Crying or Very sad... I am on the edge and I am trying my best to sort myself out as I have seen my doctor and I am getting treated with my problems on my sexual organs (I will sort out my sexual problems 1st then I will go to my doctor about my improportionate body)... but my other battle is my improportionate physique (I came on here for an early start to help myself)... please can someone help me, have I got some sort of poor growth etc i.e. like my cousin? But he was not improportionate as I was & am. I cannot wear tight shirts with jeans, as my small/odd body length/size is exposed! Can I get treated so that my body length increases even by an inch i.e. by pills or growth pills anything that may help me or that my body may lack such as my cousin for the worm bits? So that my arms gain a bit of meat (like my cousin did on his arms etc). My cousin increased in height, could it be possible for my body to increase in length even by a tiny bit as I may have some growth problem. Please help me... xx Crying or Very sad... I do not want loose my battles... and when I say I cannot live with this, and my problems, I literally contemplate can I live in such misery.

I cannot even buy decent clothes as my body is not right and I look awful. This is the reality and the truthfulness about my situation as well as my other problems. I am a good person, I don't know why I deserve this... Crying or Very sad

Can you feel my state of mind... Please can someone advice me on my body problem with realistic and possible solutions please... I am growing insane and weak... Crying or Very sad...

There is no way to make your body longer. The only surgery you could get would be to shorten your arms and legs and no doctor is going to do that to you.

Please, you sound like you have a lot of medical issues, and you need to keep bringing your concerns to your doctors. You are beyond our help...

Of course it's not impossible to chop off sections of your arms and legs to make them short; but it is incredibly scarring, deforming, and dangerous which is why no doctor will ever do it.

I think you need to talk to your doctor about this. I think you may have some kind of genetic condition that is causing all of your problems.

"Genetic" means your genes... your DNA... How old are you?

I believe your sexual problems are also caused by your genetics. Talk to your parents about this! They are there for you!

You are only 18. Men have until their 22 before their growth either stops, or slows almost completely down. Just be patient with yourself, & your body. Your body could turn out to surprise you. & if all else fails, do things that'll boost your self-esteem. You'll look hott, even if you don't feel it.

look hot???? hey please,,,can u get a ruler,,,stand,,,up,,,,and measure 4 inches from ur hips and up (vertically),,,,then imagine all of that part gone!!!!!!!!!! u will have a smaller tiny body,,,making ur arms and legs disgustingly LONG! now u telling me to look hot? clothes dont even suit me!!!!! can u not see why!

AND THE ADVICE U GAVE IS WRONG AND DANGEROUS,,,ive learnt i need to see a specialist in growth disorders!

dont u understand that invidual body parts dont grow at different times!!!!!!!! so why will the body length somehow catch up with the legs and arms???

no one can see,,,its easier said than done!!!!!!!!!!
