Because I was just disappointed to find this inconsistency. For instance, I always had measured with shoes, which gave me probable certainty of being 5' 9", I merely imagined what might be added by the shoes. After measuring on several occasions without shoes to control for error in the trials, I was promptly astonished to discover I had had it all wrong. I was not even as tall as I had told myself all along.
On my state driver's license records, they even have 5' 10". This means at one time, I was in serious denial. I suppose after passing through my teenage years and burning off some steam, I was fine to acknowledge that I wasn't really 5' 10" at all, that I was 5' 9".
But alas, I am not even that now.
Maybe it's spinal compression. They say as you get older, you tend to lose height, from the weakening of the matter between the bones of the spine.
