His candid reflections highlight the unique hurdles and experiences associated with being exceptionally tall.
“I am a 27-year-old Gen-Z, and I stand at eight feet tall. When I pass by children, they often wonder where I came from. Some of them stare, while others seize the chance to take photos. I usually take their phones, delete the pictures, and then return the devices. This is because some of them post these photos online and make discouraging comments about me,” he explained.
