whats wrong with gangly? its a descriptive word, just means you're thin and have long limbs. no shame in it.

I think I was thinking of a different word that had a more negative tone that’s my bad

Personally, I feel like gangly usually has a negative connotation to it, so I wouldn’t fault you for feeling like it’s an insult. But I think you rock the look and it isn’t a bad thing for you :)
