It may help to tuck in the pocket flaps and send us a new photo. This may correct the asthetics.

Looks like a Hickey Freeman jacket that wants to be a Prada. I'd toss it. However, for the regular population most won't even notice or care.

i think if you slimmed the jacket it would be alright seeing as right now the silhouette is quite boxy.
Button the middle button - it is quite common on 3 button jackets to button just the middle. I do in any case habitually.
Could be.By seems of it, you are like me, conservative with occasional taste for eccentricity.
I was going to suggest a trick my tailor once tried for me on an L-length jacket that had a high button stance. He raised the pocket flaps about 3/4", so that they still covered the pocket opening, but gave the jacket better balance. It seems like a small adjustment, but having the flap that little bit higher worked to bring the shortened jacket back to a better proportion.
Yes, the best buttoning point would be between the top two.But looking at your jacket, it seems that the button positioning is really too low to do much. If you button the middle button only, you'll really see how much the balance is off now. It seems to look better with the top two fastened than it might with the middle one only.
I don't know. As a newbie, I do not possess the keen eye for the details experienced members have but looking at it there's a feeling of something not right about it - a sort of nagging discord.
Nope. Proportions are too off. Sorry.
You probably mean this. This looks a bit like for the catwalk. But why not...But! You could go for the Black Fleece look.

Definitely better with the flaps tucked in
It would be interesting to research into common perception. I couldn't find in my literature anything (based on empirics) about how people actually perceive the fit and proportions of clothes and what attributes they associate with the wearer. I'm not thinking about something complicated, just making a kind of an A/B test and showing people different pictures with good and bad fit. Well, that's for another thread...and I think most people probably IRL won't notice apart from that taking off 3" makes it look quite short on you.
Yes! But people buy the stuff!
yup looks a tad too short. still wearable though as most people probably won't notice

Most people would just stare at you with a quizzical look as you ask them about "the balance" of the jacket. As for length, maybe some men will say its short, but only because the jackets they are wearing are too long, including the sleeves.
