If you're meeting a tall person, you may be surprised by their height at first. Most people are. Believe me, us tall people know all about the "mystique" we can provide. Who would ever think that being tall could make people so surprised sometimes?
If you're tall, you know exactly what I'm talking about. People seem so surprised by our height sometimes! They look. They smile. They make comments. It's great to think that I can provide someone with a smile or an "amazing" moment for them. It seems silly but some people really are amazed at seeing a very tall guy or girl. To be honest, there really aren't that many of us. Very tall boys and girls are hard to come by. I do think people genuinely mean the best when they have a reaction and tell us about our height. They might wonder what to say or do.
If you see someone really tall, just keep in mind that we love to get smiles! (and hugs too!) But it's really up to you how you react. Some people will ask about our height and others won't say anything. I actually believe that lots of people realize tall people get asked about their height all the time, and so they make sure not to say anything about it. Each person will react differently to these questions. I have learned to become ok with them. I don't mind telling someone about how tall I am. I don't like it if someone makes a comment in a teasing way, but I am generally ok with everything else. Each person is just different when it comes to how they feel.
Tall people are just like everyone else and are nothing to be afraid of. If you're intimidated by a tall person, please don't be! We drive cars, eat food, and like to shop for expensive things just like everyone else. If you meet tall people, maybe now you know what to do. :)
