I wish it wouldn't be that complicated just to sit. I'm a short man (5'6") and it's impossible to sit correctly in most office chairs, as the seats are simply too big. My knees can't bend if my back is against the backrest.

Also they are often too tall and my feet don't touch the ground, so I need a foot stool.

Even fucking desks are too high.

So I have a chair that's too big and too high, and a desk that's also too high when I'm sitting.

I hate that the world is standardized around an average. Finding an appropriate desk or chair for smaller people, at an affordable price, is a pretty good challenge.

They make smaller chairs. Blame your employer for not buying sufficient variety. Also a proper ergonomic chair should be able to bring the back forward or the seat back

Or get a cushion to put behind you

Worldwide average height for men is around 5'7", you're average. I'm guessing you just live in a region that skews taller.
