I try to correct my posture sometimes but everything is just build in a way that automatically makes me hunch over a bit. At 1.91m tall Im not even that immensely tall yet I already am affected by how things are for obvious reasons designed for the standard human. Even while cooking I need to hunch over otherwise I will be uncomfortably far away from whatever Im doing since the countertop just feels too far away to do anything like chopping etc. This applies to other countertops too. And just because I need to rant about the chair in my student accommodation: Fuck the person that decided to equip this student accommodation with a chair where the headrest digs into my shoulders when sitting straight and isnt removable. Am not even allowed to sit straight. (Luckily its just an internation trimester though so Ill be leaving soon but still, I paid way to much money for this crappy accommodation)

As a fellow tall person I have accepted the fact that I will almost certainly have back issues in my 50s/60s as an inevitability. The world is very much designed for the “average height” person.
