I'm 26 years old, not 14!

[Blastin'Tyruntz]

By the way i talk to people on the internet, until i tell them i'm nearing 17, they usually think i'm about 21-22.
irl, i somehow passed as 18 and 14...weird. I don't think i look 14,and i'm 5'8...which is pretty average around here at my age. So i guess some people are dumb...

I used to be mistaken for being younger than I actually was, but it hasn't happened in a long while. The most likely reason for that is because I haven't talked to anyone who doesn't already know my age. Though people tend to agree that my face looks like an 18 year old, even though I'm currently 23. Even my beard looks like it is a teenagers first facial hair.

That sort of youthful looks seems to run in my family. My parents are both around sixty, and (if they tried to keep themselves healthier) could easily fool anyone that they were around 40 or possibly even younger.

I'm 24, and haven't really had anyone ask my age recently other than older folks who think I just look young in general. But a year ago, I was pretty frequently asked my age (lived in the city at the time. Now I live in a small town, less people, don't get asked as often), and people were often surprised. Some people thought I was older than I was- I'm a bit of a workaholic and perfectionist, so some of my coworkers found me more ambitious than other people my age. Others thought I was younger than I am, because I'm fairly naive and energetic.

I actually get mistaken for older than I am, because of my beard. I like it. :]

 

[Pendraflare]

I can't remember if I was ever told this, but if you were to tell me I would not take it hard at all. Because while i'm 23 2/3, I definitely think I don't look that old. Some have told me they think I do look as old as I am, though.

In the span of the past week, I've both been asked what high school I was going to (despite having graduated almost 5 years ago), and not getting ID'd when buying lottery tickets (not only is it against the law to sell them to anyone under 19, but it's against the law to not ID anyone that looks under 30). Not that I have a problem with people thinking I'm older/younger than I actually am, but it always baffles me that I get such a wide range of ages guessed depending on who I'm talking to.

 

[Bellsprout]

Me at 14-17 years old.

I'm 19 and still look like I was 14, just with longer hair.

all this time I thought you were 16 lawl

Usually people think I'm older. In fact I don't think I have ever been mistaken for being younger.

This is gonna sound like I have a huge ego, but I think most girls can relate to the creepy old-dudes-hitting-on-you side of the age guessing mistakes? T-T

I'm 17 years old, and for some reason I get thought of AND seen as much older. Late last year when I was working at Taco Bell (*long exasperated sigh*) I wore bangs, which made me appear much older. I had college age guys (and..much older) come in and hit on me from time to time and then get very weirded out when they all played 'guess her age' and realize they were about 7 or 8 years off. x: Merp. Kinda awkward enough when it's from a mental standpoint, it's a whole other kind of weird when the physical aspect is brought in, especially depending on how far it goes.. and people like to take it there. -.-

I've had my fair share of guessing way off with people's ages, though. I remember a few months back meeting a girl (who has thankfully become a pretty good friend of mine) what high school she was currently attending, having her embarrassingly reply that she was about to graduate college. *shrugs* It happens to everyone at some point, I guess. The less awkward that both people make it, the better. I'm sorry though, if they make it super sexual or over-the-top rude, it's their own damn fault for being weird/creepy/a jerk if people get mad. XD

I'm 24 and people think I'm 17 or 18. I've been told that for years. :(

 

[Espurr_Kawaii]

Honestly, im 24 of age. Damn its too older lol. But the look / see with other people of me im 14 of age haha its too young than i though. But i accpted what they say..Its depend what people they think about you! ^_^ ..All of us, is going older and older XD .

 

[Sylphiel]

Not recently, but a few years back at least I kept getting mistaken for a high-school aged person - I think people kept guessing around 18. Suffice to say...I was definitely not still that age, and definitely not still in high school.

Although it was a pleasant change from when I was younger, when people always thought I was a few years older than I really was.

 

[Toddler Naruto]

I'm 25 years old (26 in Jan 2015), but alot of people think I'm 20 before I correct them.

TBH, I wish I looked and was younger, like grade school age...but until science can make aging backwards become a reality thru DNA/genome coding stuff, it's only in my dreams and ageplaying etc.

 

[Dedenne1]

Umm usually people think im older due to my maturity haha. Although sometimes i do forget my age like people ask my age I'll say 1 year younger than i am sometimes thats how forgetful i am haha.

 

[Skip Class]

It can get incredibly frustrating sometimes since age-wise they'll think I'm way younger than what I am.

When I was 17 people would think I was somewhere around the 12-14 range and because I had short hair they'd think I was a young preteen boy which is kind of depressing.
Now that I'm 20 it's become 14-17 which is a little better, but still kind of sad.

Played at a casino for the first time since it's R20 here, and even before I got there, a lady asked me outside what my age was (and it wasn't even the R20 zone). Still wasn't convinced even if my family was there and I showed her my ID so that was kinda annoying...

 

[Mesty92]

I'm 22 but people think I am 18. Kind of annoying sometimes.

 

[Hannah]

Online, a lot of people think I'm around seventeen because of my so-called maturity. It's very flattering, considering the fact that I do kind of think of myself as mature, but now that I've heard tons of people tell me that, it's getting a bit annoying.

Offline, however, many people think that I'm the older one between my sister and I. (She's sixteen and I'm almost fourteen.) I think it's because I'm taller than her by, I don't know, several inches? So whenever I say, "No, I'm the younger one," people tell me, "Oh, you're just so tall" and I just kind of smile all smug to make my sister angry heh.

I never thought I would end up posting here but...

I was at the beach last Sunday. Let's just say that someone thought I was still in Junior High when I'm already attending College. Man, now I feel short. Again.

 

[MoonLight]

Oh God I deal with this all the time im 32 years old and people think im like 16 I always get hit for Id. I usally just have it out now because I know they are gonna ask for it anyways lol been dealing with this for years lol

 

[skyluigi2]

People pretty much always think I'm younger than I am by a couple of years. It's kind of funny, to be honest... I'm the second oldest person in my group of close friends and yet I look the youngest. Shouldn't complain, I suppose!

 

[Blade_of_darkness]

If I shaved my huge beard, people would see me as 20 years old. I'm actually several years older than that. Whenever I told them my actual age, they were taken aback from that.

I'm sure that it would be a different story if I still had a portion of my beard. I'll likely never know.
