difference between tall and high

here are two sentence about this question. So read it and then understand.

• It is more normal to say a TALL building.
  
  When I think of the difference between "high" and "tall," it seems to me that I tend to say "tall" whenever talking about something that is based on the ground/floor and stretches up. I tend to use "high" more for when I'm describing things that are not based on the ground/floor.
  
  For example, a tall bookcase, a tall girl, a tall flagpole, etc. However, a high airplane, a high painting (as in one that is hung at a high level), a high ceiling, etc

• It helps to remember this about the difference between tall/short vs. high/low:
  
  Tall/short refer to something that starts on the ground and goes up. Things that can be tall or short are people, buildings or other constructions such as towers, and trees, to name a few.
  
  The one glaring exception to this rule is mountain. We normally talk about how high a mountain is.
  
  High/low refer to something that is in the air or at a certain elevation, in other words, that is not touching the ground. Things that can be high or low are clouds, birds or airplanes flying, and jumpers or balls in sports, to name a few.
