scared of growing taller

Hi, I am between 6ft4 and 6ft6. I am 21 years old. I had my last major growth spurt when I was around 17 or 18. But I think I might have grown another 2 or possibly 3 inches in the last 3 years. I really do not wanna grow any f**king taller. Apart from having had to adjust to awkwardness and banging my head I really don't wanna grow any f**king taller. Have I stopped growing? Should I eat less to prevent myself growing taller. Is my anxiety making me grow taller. If I will myself to grow taller will that make me taller? Sorry these are probably stupid questions but any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm thinking of going to my doctor to ask!
Do you think it's normal?

There's nothing you can do about it, you're doomed to be tall.
i was 6ft 7 at one stage, so i decided to chop my legs off just below the knee. worked a treat!
Starving yourself won't prevent you from growing taller if your genetic makeup is predetermined to do just that. At 21 years of age, I would think you've just about reached the end of your growth potential. Good luck, chicks like tall men.
Are you a girl or a guy?
I am male
I don't think you can grow anymore at age 21 or 22 for a guy. You can't do anything to stop growing..it's your genes
start up smoking cause its spose to stunt ya growth. and like george said put a brick on ya head
y dnt you think on the positive side of ur prob? being in good height u can try for a place in basket ball team.only few people get a chance and you are one of them.be proud of ur self for that
Women like tall men because they think they have bigger penises so start using this to your advantage.
Alternatively join the local basketball team.
Its better to tall then too short
you should not grow anymore after this, unless you have a problem with your pituitary gland. If you do grow any more i would see an endocrinologist
