A CBT therapist would have a field day with that statement. Do you know people don't respect you, or are you just assuming that? Is your low self-esteem ("I'm a manlet") causing you to a behave in a defensive manner that people react badly to?I'm sure there are those who regard a small of stature male negatively, at least initially. But I have known many small men who are bursting with energy and confidence and are thus highly regarded. When you bring good energy to encounters, people tend not to pay attention to your appearance.
