Being short: totally awesome for gymnastics, not so great for finding jeans the right length, reaching the high shelf in the grocery store and kissing tall guys. On balance, Us imagines Simone Biles is OK with her petite, 4’8″ frame all those gold medals probably take the edge off. But the Olympian gymnast has revealed that it’s a nightmare finding clothes that don’t swamp her, sharing a photo via Instagram of the teeny size 23/000 Abercrombie & Fitch pants she had triumphantly tracked down. While Biles, 27, is shorter than most, she isn’t the only petite star familiar with these everyday short girl problems.

Short Girl Problem 1: It’s Hard to Pose With Taylor Swift Who knew Sabrina Carpenter was only 5′? Taylor Swift, that’s who.

Short Girl Problem 3: People Keep Reminding You How Short You Are
Most people know their own height, right? And yet, if you’re very short or very tall, everyone just loves making sure you’re aware, something Zoe Kravitz, who’s 5’1″ and a half (every short girl knows the half is important!), encounters constantly. “The amount of times that I get reminded how small I am!” she told GQ. “I go to the airport and they’re like ‘you are so much shorter in person.’ Thanks for the reminder!” Kravitz, 35, is another star with a much taller partner too – her 6’1″ fiancé, Channing Tatum, has a full foot on her and yet they still look perfect together!
