🚨 Body shaming 🚨

For context, I am 24F and 5'7", most of my life, I was bullied for my height. I understand I am above the average height of women in this subcontinent, but how does this warrant for unwanted remarks or jabs for a trait I can't control?

"You are way too tall omg, tomar biye hobe kivabe, jamai e toh khuje pawa jabena, tomar toh ekhon thekei date kora uchit, arranged marriage e chele pabana" "Nah amar pashe daraio na chobi tular time, tumi ektu beshi e tall, kharap dekhay" These were said by my female classmates in many occasions. I wonder what gave them the confidence to comment on someone else's personal life and appearance like some judgemental aunty? I could say something back regarding their appearance too, stoop to their level, but I was just too stunned by their lack of self awareness and unresolved insecurities. So I simply ignored.

"Lomba gulo emnio dumb hoy" this was said repeatedly by a teacher whose classes I always topped. He said it in way worse language in other times, commenting on my height every chance he got. I was 13, and this grown ass man had to humiliate me in front of the whole class, for what? Too salty I height mogged him at 13?

There are many other endless examples, said by men of all heights and women of all ages, and most of the time I try to joke back lightheartedly, but it doesn't mean I don't get annoyed internally by all these unsolicited comments. Why are people this bothered?

Eto baje baje experience er modhhe onek bhalo comments o peyechi...kintu I can't help but wish I was a few inches shorter so I didn't have to hear such backhanded remarks.

I don't know how to deal with this, or rather, how to be confident enough so that such comments don't get to me.

Majher koik bochor I spent rebuilding my confidence from scratch, healing past trauma, working on other aspects of my life... and now I am back at square one.

(And if any tall women are here by any chance please let me know. I just need to know I am not alone in facing these.)

Tl/dr; I need some advice from people who faced body shaming in any way or form, and how did they deal with it? I understand it is a common issue in our country.
