i’m asking this because i am 5’7 and all my life i thought i was 5’10 but i realized i’m not and honestly i feel kind of bad about it!! i would definitely feel way too short in the u.s, and will people look at me weird?? like, will they think i’m a teenager or something?? that sure would be weird but, well i have to be ok with my height. i’m just curious about that!! thanks!!

    Average American height is 5’9", we aren’t all 6’ like the Netherlands.

    You will be normal. You will stand out for the way you talk and how you dress. Your accent will be found adorable and how you dress will out you as not from 'round here; if anyone notices because we are too involved with our own bullshit to give you much thought.

        You have no idea what American fashion is. It is regional and comes from experience in that area. If you are wearing flannel and jeanw, you fit in the Pacific Northwest, but look alien in Georgia, or a Midwestern winter.
