I’m 4′11″ and not athletic. I occurred to me that if I was afraid of people for being bigger than me, I’d go around being afraid of people all the time, so I pretty much shut off that part of my mind off. I grant that this is presumably easier because I haven’t be subject to much physical assault.
So far, this policy hasn’t made my life any worse.
You’re also female, over 21, and not inprison. When you’re a 11-year-old boy and don’t get to choose your own peers, someone being bigger than you is, well, a big deal.

I’m surprised at the number of upvotes my comment got. I think people took it as more general advice—and more generally feasible—than I intended.
Imagine you are 4′11″ and packing.
