I'm 21. I recently went to a buffet with my family. The cashier asked me my age, thinking I would get a discount. I told her I'm 21, and she was like, "What? You're 21? I thought you were like 13!" I went to a casino where the guy asked "can I help you?" He assumed I was underage, since you have to be 21 or older to enter the gambling floor.
Not really good or bad, just is what it is. In our society for the most part, youth is valued and age is bad; the older you get, the less value you have. So in that, it's good, as many people have said already giving examples that when you are 65 you'll look 45, with the connotation that it's better to be younger or at least look younger, as older people are, the less valued/attractive in our society.
Though right now, it's maybe a detriment if you want to go to a casino or have an alcoholic drink as you will need ID always, and some people might even think it's fake. When I was 19, I grew facial hair to try to look older so I could buy alcohol at the grocery store (it worked).

Same boat here. When I was 21, I also used to get told I looked like a teenager.
now I’m 25 and people usually think I’m like 18-21.it definitely gets annoying but I won’t say it’s a bad thing. When we’re 40, we’re gonna be looking like we’re 30 🤪🤪
I don't know but my grandma says you’re gonna miss that when your older, she wished they would card her at stores when buying alcohol
literally have the same problem lol. I’m worried I’ll get my ID taken or snapped one day because they’ll think it’s fake lol

When I was a teen, my buddy's older sister took us to see one of the many 80's horror movies, probably a Friday The 13th sequel. She was 19, my buddy was 16, and I was 15 - BUT... my buddy was 5'9" and I was 5'10", while his older sister was 4'10". They let us right in without question, but hey carded HER to get into the movie. We laughed endlessly about that, but to be fair, she could have easily been 14.
I’m 24 and people think I look 19-21. It means you’ll age slower.
Not bad at all. You'll love it when you are 65 and look 45.
The girl was insulting you becuase she likely was an old bag. Coping with her own insecurity about her aging body.
No, not at all. As you get older you will appreciate that a lot.
That it as a compliment. I know how it feels but you'll appreciate it later
when you really get older you will embrace it more. at your age its just anoying haha
No, its actually a compliment that you will appreciate more when you are older. :)

Not bad but it can be annoying.
