When I first met my SO during an internship, I found him to be cute, charming and funny. At that time, I wasn't expecting for him to like me. His 6ft 3" demeanor, for sure, wouldn't find a 5ft person like me to be attractive. Yet he found me attractive and we started dating. It was awesome. We had the best dates one could possibly ask for.
After he went back home to NL, he would send photos of what his life is like there. He likes going to parties and festivals. And whenever he sends photos of himself with his friends and family, I noticed that they are mostly around my SO's height.
This worries me because if I visit him there, because: (1) since I'm tiny, they may think of me as a joke. And, (2) I'm scared of maybe going to festivals with him because of how small I am compared to their height.
I guess it's a bit shallow thinking about it. But I feel insecure about it all. I feel that I wouldnt get the respect that I deserve just because I am smaller.

Also, I wouldn't worry about festivals. My SO is great to have around during rock concerts to keep me from getting smushed and we never really lose each other in a crowd. If they're his friends, of course they'll rib him a little, but they'll be happy that he's happy. You'll be fine
Thank you again. Everyone's comments made me feel better about myself and how I should deal with my SO and I's height difference.
I am Dutch, and yes, we are all very very tall. My SO is just as tall/maybe a bit shorter than I am and I am embarrassed about my height when I go visit him in the US in two weeks...
But, to comfort you: Yes there's a lot of tall people here, but some of my friends are really short too. It doesn't matter. AT ALL! Don't worry!!!
I dont know my height in inches but I am 1.78 M and I have friends that are about 1.60. And by the way, at festivals here there's a lot of foreigners anyway...
Don't worry!
