    I’m only 6’4", male. My experience is that I need to slouch in the presence of normies so as not to be to intimidating. I am weirded out by people who tower over me because that is unexpected and anyone that tall doesn’t try to fit in - they just tower over all.

      Another 6’4" chiming in (6’5" in shoes). It’s weird to be walking in a crowd and needing to look up at someone. That always surprises me.

        Imagine looking all the way up! I’m 6’6 and ran into someone in a country store. Such a strange feeling. And you can tell he didn’t trust airpods to convey “don’t talk to me” at that altitude, cause he was wearing headphones that looked big on him

      When in doubt (and if possible), keep your distance. You don’t have to slouch as much and I don’t have to look up as much.
