Does being tall make you toxic? This week on Disengaged , we’re talking Tall Man Syndrome with Dr. Susan Heitler, the clinical psychologist who literally coined the term. We get into why narcissism often hides behind height, charm and success, and how it can even look a lot like autism—especially when it shows up as what she calls a “listening disorder.” From dating app traps to emotional entitlement, we're breaking down how height, ego and culture all get tangled up in today’s dating scene.
