Mona Lisa is exactly right.
I have no trouble admitting the "short man syndrome", as you can tell from this post I've obviously got myself a case. I contend that this is brought on by the reaction I get to being short. You can't be compensating for something if that attribute isn't having some affect that must be compensated for.
There are a couple of versions of SMS. I happen to have the variety that is non-violent but very loud and joke-oriented. I tend to operate with a high-energy level and a lot of comedy/sarcasm. I personally find the fight-picking variety of SMS to be much more annoying and potentially damaging. There is also the less common wall-flower variety, but @#!* that noise, its too boring.
