Do people tend to think you look young for your age?

Question

I voted today while on fall break and the ladies needing my ID and passing out the ballots thought I was 14. The first lady's reaction was hilarious, she was shocked. I told them I get it all the time, some people even think I'm 12 and offer me kids menus 😂😂

I still needed to show my ID when I wanted to buy alcohol when I was 29... now, when I say I have over 20 years of experience in my field, people joke if I started my first job in primary school :D

my grandma passed away being almost 100 years old, and she didn't look like... my great-aunties repeated this pattern... so I think it will be similar for me :D

Yes most people think I'm younger. One time someone thought I was my husband's teen daughter like wtf no I'm married to him 😐

teamvic · Accepted Answer

I have been told I look younger for my age, I'm not so sure anymore but damn not no 12 haha Lowest was probably like 15 a couple years ago

MicahRaine · Accepted Answer

14? Lucky duck, you'll thank your stars in a few years! But yes, people think I'm like 15 all the time. Even 15 year olds.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Yes, some people say that I don't look older than 60.

mandyfire98 · Answer

Yep. I have people still think I'm in highschool 😂

MoonFace2 · Answer

No, a few people have said I could pass for thirty or twenty five, but I doubt it. I do however, present as being more innocent than I really am, in person. My eyes are quite naive and innocent looking. I don’t look like someone who’s a recovered alcoholic who’s partied hard in their twenties and has an unusual past.

NathanDavis · Answer

that used to be the case before... now I'm catching up, but they're still off by some years, lmao funny thing is, some would think I am older or younger...

Grond21 · Answer

That is wild! I am often perceived to be younger than I am, but it's only like late 20s at most. Although when I was in my late 20s someone thought I was 19

TsundereMatrix · Answer

I don’t get asked for ID anymore but for some reason people who have known me for many years still seem to think I’m in high school which makes no sense to me because I’ve been out of school for like 13 years.

buzzword · Answer

Yep. Many times people think I'm 10 years younger than I actually am on looks. Health wise when I've done those real age things which check your health statistics usually they rate me at 12-15 years younger than my actual age.

Garud · Answer

Opposite for me,
People thought I was 18-20 when I was 14.
When I turned 20, people thought I was 25-30.
Even now people think I am around 35.
Maybe that's because I keep a little beard most of the time

Anonymous · Answer

I have for most of my age. I've always had people guess me younger than I was which has always surprised me because of how tall I am. I think part of it is I'm not very hairy which adds to my youthfulness. But I don't spend a lot of time in the sun either. I do think I'm starting to show my age now though.

Gwendoline · Answer

I'm really short and skinny, I sometimes have my hair in pigtails and often have to wear children's clothes

When I was younger, like in my early 20s I always looked much younger and had the same issues, now I almost look my age but some are still surprised

YourExLover69 · Answer

Well I'm in my mid 30s but almost all my colleagues think I'm in my mid 20s 😂 I look almost 10 years younger than my actual age. 😏💕😊

Benjiman19 · Answer

Not younger... I get told that I look 35-40 and yet I'm only 22. It has to be the beard, I know I look way younger without it.

I get that all the time. Most think I am younger then I am. Not quite as much as when I was younger but it still happens.
