Do you look younger or older then you really are?

[J.R. 3,183]

I'm really 15, but I don't know. You tell me:

 

[Princess Periwinkle 3,775]

When I shave I look like a teenager.

[Clover Heart 978]

I have a hard time judging myself, so I can't really say how accurate I think other people's perceptions are. However, people tend to think I'm younger than I am. Not by a lot, maybe, like, 5 years. I'm in my late 20s, but people think I'm in my early 20s.

[Swift Wind 49]

I'm 13 and my sister always said I looked like I was 16. I'm 5'6.

[Axel 1,059]

I'm 19 and i'm normal height i guess i'm around 5'9 I still have a baby face, but now that I have facial hair, people say I look my age now which is fine with me

[OptimisticNeighsayer 478]

I think a lot of people who have met me would say I look younger than I really am.  It doesn't help that sometimes I act younger than I really am.  It's probably cost me a job offer or two.

[Lord Bradley 1,319]

Yeah, most people mistake me for being around 16-18, though I'm actually 13. Maybe It's my "early" deep voice. Or the beard. Or the fact that i look like a gorilla under my shirt. Could be any of those.

Younger apparently, a lot of people think I'm about 20 but I'm actually 26, last year someone thought I was 17/18 when I was 25.

 

I can't see it myself, but then I know my age, I guess it's a good thing not to look old though.

[MLPFanatic34 3,234]

I look younger than I actually am, I'm 24 years old, but I've been told I look 17, 18, even 15 years old sometimes.

[Creamy Arty 6,252]

Younger, most of the time. Frequently mistaken for being about 16 when I've got a fresh haircut and I shave like I should. If I let myself go, I can be mistaken for being much older than I am. Right now I look my age.

[verycreativeusername 1,800]

I'm 14 but people say I look 16.

[Jennabun 1,579]

I look much younger than I am. I'm a 25 year old woman, but I've gotten carded for rated R movies recently. People look at my ID for a verrrryyyyy long time when I buy alcohol. Also, I teach at a middle school, and I frequently get mistaken for a student without my ID badge. I'm just short (5'0") and have a baby face; it can't be helped I guess.

[HeroSparks 232]

I'm 23 but most people think I'm still in high school

[BrawnySpirit2000 33]

Most people I meet think I sound/look like I'm around 18.. They're only a little over 3 years off so I guess it's not that older.

[Smarts 1,623]

When I was younger, people used to think I was much older than I really was. Now though...it's still the same. I'm 20, but people think I'm 28.

 

What?

I think I look at my age, all acne ridden the way I "should" I guess but people say I act a lot more mature than my age.

[The Leafeon Pinkeh 3,603]

Well last year all of the juniors dressed up for school and a lunch lady asked, confused, "What grade are you in?" ... "Oh I thought you were in 8th grade." 

No, I don't look my age. But, I figure, when I get to be older this will be a good thing. I can keep my youthful appearance when I get older.

 

So next year when I graduate high school students will be surprised that I am not, actually, a freshmen. 

[NonbinaryDuck 362]

Under 16 and I've received confused comments of people telling me they said I look like a short 18-21 year old. Literally one time a guy was hitting on me when I was at Walmart and my dad started making fun of me while we were there. I told him "I'm [how old I was] creep!" and he just gave me a weird look and walked away. My dad stopped laughing as I repeatedly punched him in the arm and he went back to laughing again.

 

Give me one reason why I shouldn't move out. ONE REASON.

[QuirkyChaos 68]

I'm 22 and there are days people think I'm around 15

[Frostgage 7,976]

Definitely younger. I could pass for 10 years old when clean shaven ;-;

[CheeryFox 23,822]

Probably a few years to the minus. 

[Kira Dogeikage 230]

At my summer camp people come up to me asking where things are thinking I'm a counselor, so people think I'm about 20, I'm only 16. XD

[Denim&Venöm 19,341]

Don't know how young or old people think I am, but they're usually surprised to hear I'm 23. 

[Fawkes The Phoenix 737]

People are usually surprised when i tell them i'm 16, but i don't know if it's because i look older or because i'm too young to be in college.

[Vertigo_95 572]

I have been told multiple times that I look younger than I actually am. I am 20 and as of recently, multiple people have told me that I look 16. I guess looking younger than I actually am is a great thing.
