How old do you look?

    I'm told I look to be in my early twenties, which is close enough since I'm twenty. After your teens you stop changing as quickly. I mean duh, but it gets harder to pinpoint someone's age, since, to me at least, lots of people from the ages of 20-30 look about the same age.

    Due to me having that look of a stereotypical autistic person, some people think I look way younger than 20.

    Most thought I looked like a 14-year-old.

    Within the past few years, I've had a few people think I'm still in high school (they thought I was ~17 or 18), despite me being somewhat past that age, based entirely on how I look. Doesn't happen a whole lot, but it does happen.

    Which is funny, since when I was younger people would continually think I was older than I was. Not that I'm gonna complain, though.

    I look like a twelve-year-old and I'm always given kiddie menus at restaurants. I'm just sitting there like "DO YOU THINK THIS IS A GAME?" Although I am pretty short and don't wear makeup or anything, so I guess I'm not helping my case at all.

    I've been told I look a variety of ages, from 12 to 18, though I rarely need to show my ID when buying alcohol anymore... I do get a few dirty looks from people when I go out with my baby daughter... That really sucks.

    I'm 22 and I think I look 22. Most people don't have trouble telling how old I am. Though from time to time I do get people coming in to work and telling me that I don't look old enough to be working in a liquor store, so perhaps I do look younger than my age! I hope I do, it bodes well for the future :P

    They say that I am 17/18 but I am actually 15. I am not sure why though...

    Three or four years older. To the point I'm asked for ID to buy alcohol when I'm 22 and our legal age is 18 XD

    It gets better when I don't shave for a couple of weeks though.

    I either look like I'm 14 when I don't have my hair styled or I look like I'm 22 when I have my hair styled. According to people who commented on how old I look.

    When I'm wearing glasses, it makes me look maybe a year older if I have my hair styled.

    I've always been told i look 15-16, even with makeup on. probably because i'm 5"2. i got asked for ID when i was going to book my tattoos as the tattoo dude thought i was 16, though strangely enough when i -was- 15 i was mistaken for a 19 year old. i rarely wear casual clothes, even to college... and people still think i'm like 15. ah well personally i'd rather look younger than older. X'D

    Nowadays, I think I look around my age. I don't get ID'd when I go out or buy anything that needs age verification, but I also don't get treated like I'm a 30-year-old or anything. When I was younger, I always felt that I looked about two-or-three years younger than my actual age which... wasn't great, but I learned to live with it. Now that, for the most part, people can roughly guess my age +/- one year, I feel much more confident in my dealings with said people. I actually look my age, which is nice.
