Do people mistake your age?

[Kyabetsuko 79]

...people thought you were younger or older than you really are?

It happens to me all the time. I'm 20 and people tend to think I'm 17 at most, the most common age they give being 15, and the most absurd was a guy in a WhatsApp group that thought I was 13 after I sent a picture '-'

 

So, how it usually goes for you?

[Caliboom 219]

Some people think I am younger than what I actually am when they see me.

[碇 シンジン 27,427]

Here on forums, and basically everywhere people find it hard to believe that I am 18 and that I'm male. I feel they think I'm  more like between 13-15 =)=)<3

[LittleMac 3,084]

People usually mistake me as older. I remember someone once asked me something along the lines of "so how's Uni?" To which I had to reply, "I'm...I'm 15 :P"

 

I remember that I was mistaken for 13 once as well, but that was online and the person was just thinking of someone else

[GuyNamedEarl 1,332]

Whenever I shave I look like I'm 14.

[DeadAccount 4,603]

Yes some people say that I look like I'm 17

[frecklesareblooming 225]

When I was twelve a woman at a restaurant asked if I was a college student, and even now while I'm in high school people think the same. 

[MoltenKitten 341]

People confuse me for being in middle school which is the main reason why I shave as little as possible

[Blue Moon 6,336]

People usually think I am older than my real age; both in real life and online. I'm not sure why for online, but in real life, I'm pretty tall, so people usually think I'm older than sixteen.

Some soldiers at night, on the beach, thought that I was a terrorist and didn't believe me when I said that I am 16

[Sunwalker 981]

Another day on the train an old lady thought I was on my early twenties. I am 31.

[White 189]

 I'm 16 years old. There are people who think I'm in my twenties.

Not so much now that I've got some facial hair, but when I was younger I could apparently pass for 3-4 years younger than I really was. I've had waiting staff look far too long at my ID and once when I went into a drug store to buy a few of those scratch tickets, the woman behind me swore there was no way I could be older than 15 at best.

[n0body555 334]

I've had some people think I'm around 20 years old.... and occasionally there are some people who think I'm around 14. It's weird. Mostly due to my voice, not appearance.

[Blackened 512]

It always happens to me. Everyone always seems to think I'm in my 20s when I first meet them.

[Venomous 18,813]

Yes! This has actually happened a few times.

I am 20 years old and I have been mistaken for a 15 year old.

 

A waitress once refused to serve me coffee because she thought that I was too young!

I looked at her and i'm like: "...I'm 20" 

[Magic Note 2,738]

I get mistaken for a lot younger than I am just about all of the time. 

[Starlighty 790]

Yea Hi I am 23 and I get ID and other stuff cause people say I look 15... doesn't help I am only 5'1 ._.

[RivkaBobble 110]

I'm 13 and I look like I'm entering middle school or finishing elementray school.

[SpikusFyre 486]

I get mistaken for younger all the time, or at least I used to not so sure anymore. 

[S.F. 1,560]

Depending on if I have shaved or not, or sometimes regardless of if I have shaved or not, my age seems to fluctuate anywhere up to 5 years either side of what it is actually

[SquipyCheetah 448]

Yes, all the time. I hate it. I went to a family party a year ago or so and people asked me if I was going to college in a few weeks. My response was like, I'm still in middle school damnit.

[cwhip9 1,078]

I got mistaken as the younger sister to my brother. There wasn't much of a height difference at the time, I guess, but now my brother is quite a bit taller than me.

When I was 15 people used to think I was 17. It was weird, cause it happened all too much to just be a coincidence. Hasn't happened since I've turned 16.
