Hi all I occasionally work with someone with Dwarfism. They are pretty chill and funny but I’m never sure how to act when speaking. I’m well over 6ft and have tended to crouch down but I’m not sure if this is rude. The person is approx 4ft 5. Any advice please? Am I overthinking this?

Ask your co-worker what they prefer instead of random people on the internet.

Wear a false beard, and depending on your workplace, carry an axe. This will set them at ease.

Keep your body completely vertical and align your head as you were looking directly at the face of your identical twin but give the little person acknowledgement by only directing your glance down at them with your ocular system.

I mean the obvious answer is no. Either talk to that standing up or preferably find a chair and talk to them sitting down (even better if they have a chair too).

Lie down on the ground and look up at them to prove your empathy and humility.

Attach shoes to your knees and shuffle round the office like that.

Hell I'm just average height and I've talked to a very tall person who bent over from time to time while talking to me and it was incredibly weird. I never wanted to talk to that person again. Imagine Spud Webb or Muggsy Bogues having the other players crouching down to talk to them at eye level at games like it isn't weird. hosed up. Anyways hope this helps

Never kneel when you're dealing with this dwarf! If anything, you should project yourself even more so they understand just how truly small & insignificant they are!

Take a picture of your face and stick it to the end of your member. Be sure that every time you speak to them, you expose yourself.
