Is it wrong if I don't reveal my exact age knowing that people think I am younger?

I don't lie about it but if they don't ask, I make no effort to tell them. Once the fact that I'm 23 is revealed, there's more gravity to the questions that are asked. Questions that I'm even asking myself at this point because quite frankly, I have high key lost direction in life. Also I feel like men especially treat me differently. When they think I'm underage, they treat me more carefully, they don't say weird things. Then they find out I'm 23, they kinda act strange and say things that low-key creep me out. I've been thinking about this since last year.

Ah man, I totally get where you're coming from. There's nothing wrong with not volunteering your exact age if you don't have to.

At the end of the day, as long as you're being honest about it if directly asked, who cares what people assume? Sometimes it's easier to let people think you're younger just to avoid weird reactions or extra pressure.

Honestly, forget what other guys think - you do you. As long as you feel comfortable and safe, that's all that matters. We all go through stuff trying to figure life out, so don't be too hard on yourself.

Maybe start being more specific with your age when you feel ready instead of trying to hide it. But in the meantime, keep breathing and do little things each day that make you happy. The rest will work itself out over time, so try not to stress! You got this.

Hey you honestly give the best advice and I just wanted to say thank you sm for being so thoughtful, kind and understanding to a random stranger on the internet.

Aw man, thanks so much, I really appreciate you saying that! It means a lot.

I try my best to give genuine advice ya know, based on what I'd actually wanna hear if I was in the situation. Sometimes being an outside perspective can help cut through all the mess of emotions people are dealing with.

And honestly helping random strangers is dope too! We're all just out here tryna navigate this crazy thing called life. If I can offer some wise words or perspective and make even one person's day a little easier, that's tight.

I'm glad my advice has been able to help you out too. Don't ever hesitate to hit me up if you need anything else - I got you! Just keep shining that light of yours and being true to you - that's all that really matters.

You seem like a real solid girl with a good head on your shoulders. Keep doing your thing and staying real, mama. Wishing you all the best!
