Not in terms of size really, i'm 6'3 and 175. ( i was the same height 154 at the beginning of this year so i'm putting on a lot of weight ) but mentally i guess, or in terms of youth. i've always been the younger one at 18 while all of my main friends that i've grown up with are 20-25 . even though i work, goto school, and have done things that are much harder than any of them are capable of doing, i'm still the little one. no one else sees me as the little one that needs to be protected but them .. and now i'm getting a house with a couple of them so what the hell can i do to have them get rid of this paradigm about me? I kind of want to just stop hanging out with them and hang out with my other friends more but these guys are like brothers to me. should i still move in with them? stop hanging out with them as much and do my own thing? i'm sick of being seen as the little one.

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
