I do look a bit older than I'm, in school when I say what year I'm I get asked 'did you repeat a year or two?' No, I never repeated but it gets annoying when they assume I'm older than my appearance it's really offending, especially the most common questions. At time I had stalker at middle school and when I told my parents, mom caught him he apologized and he wanted good to still for a good marriage... I want to laugh from where did he gets his confidence from... but it's painful to my confidence that he paled when he was told I was actually 13 and in 3rd year of middle school, he never realized he was after a minor 😳

I was sad for myself the rest of the night and the following morning

When I was in college I was 26. There was a girl there that was/is a hater, I had to do a project with her, so when she asked how old I was and I told her, this bitch burst and laughed at me and said “nah, you can’t be 26, you look 40 already” to which I responded, “you’re 21, 3 kids , with a job at Dennis, you look more frustrated for your age…” and there was silence 😂🤣 one of the girls sitting next to me said “You don’t look 40…”. I knew she was trying to be nice. I’ve always being aware that I look older than I actually am, I dress and carry myself differently and it doesn’t sit well with some other women.

People that don't know me often think I am 8 to 10 years younger than I actually am. Probably because a combination of working out and good genetics. I can do physical sporty stuff better than many young people, my genes let me keep my hair, and I never did drugs and don't drink alcohol which ages people's face.

Typically 5-6 years younger.

Maternal side genes keep my face a bit on the cherub-ish side.

Paternal side genes gave me flat feet and took most of my hair, so as long as they don't look at my feet, I look a bit younger.

BeMuse · Answer

When I was a teenager I was told I looked older. I was 6'3" when I was in 7th grade and I had a deep voice like Barry White. Now that I am older, everyone assumes I am much younger than I am. For the most part I have aged well.

Th3ft · Answer

Lol! Younger. I actually got a woman’s group discussion going on it at work one day I was talking too a couple of the girls and next thing I knew each woman that came in the room they would ask and how old they thought I was and if they believed I was actually 32.

Sugar100 · Answer

I’m 25 but people think I’m 15-20 because I got bad luck was born with a baby voice , it’s so squeaky that I sound like a cute kindergartner & im so short in height of a 5 year old. And I have a baby face. I’m not a super tall grown women 😔 I’m sad cuz I’m 25 and people don’t treat me with respect or see me as a mature women. I’m prob seen as a teenager.

Justmeyouknow · Answer

Actually yes, a lot. I have a sister who is 4 years older than me and when we meet new people they always ask us if we're twins! So this year we started to do a sort of game. We tell the people we are not twins and we ask them who, in their opinion, is the older one. And they always say I am!! It's so annoying!
