Huh, I get the opposite and keep getting "this is too difficult, can't you do it?" I'm not at all convinced it's my relatively enormous 5'7" stature; nor that I look fat and bad-tempered, on the basis of being fat and bad-tempered. Actually it's probably that "wisdom: nul points" thing as I've repeatedly injured myself by lacking the insight to say "actually... I can't do that" and then after I discover I really can't do that, I do it anyway, being too bloody-minded and generally stubborn to give up. And then something breaks. Which is usually me.



xD This hurt my soul. I'm so sorry. Tbh, I've always been very conflicted. On one hand, yay someone else doing something for me. On the other hand, 8 times out of 10 I can probably handle it but people looove Infantilizing short people. So I could sit in impotent rage or shrug it off and let them do it.
