Do you look younger than your age?

Post Reply New Topic

Yes. At 18 (19 next month) years old, I still look like I'm about 15-16.

This is weird I just mentioned this in the 'do you look Autistic/Weird' discussion.
I'm 37 but people regularly think I'm in my early twenties and still at college,
though I dress like a skater and have done since I was a 15 year old skater.
I got refused sale on some wine at my local supermarket two weeks ago.
Anyway I'm glad I look young - I don't have a baby face - just my skin is very young looking.
My wife is 8 years younger than me and I feel closer to her age than my own.

Definitely. I get carded all the time, and I always get asked what grade I'm in (I'm 22). A few weeks ago someone even guessed that I was 15. :S

I'm 18, 19 in august. and i still get told i look 16 -17. i have been graduated from high school for 1 yr, and i still get asked what grade I'm in. ha ha no worries. i can use it to my advantage when I'm older

I spent a lot of time in the sun/smoking when I was younger and do believe I look at least my age. My mother, however, looks much younger than she is.

I'm 18 but everyone thinks im about 15. Just last week my mom took me with her to work because i needed a ride to the doctors (she works near my doctor) and the next day she was talking to someone about me and the lady said "shes 18 now right" and the man next to her said "wow, she only looked 15"

I hear anywhere from twelve to sixteen on average, but it has been lower and higher. I'm twenty-one, but being petite and skinny as well as having a young-looking face just makes me look so much younger. Mentally, though, I'm already past my years, probably about ten years older. I don't really care for a lot of people my age as they just seem really immature to me.

I used to look sixteen when I was in fact 21. People told me I would appricate it as I grew older but I already appricaited it.

I'll be 24 in September.

While I tend to look a bit older when I haven't shaven, clean-shaven I do appear to be younger. My short stature helps this.

I've been told that i look like 20 or around that when i shave my facial hair... It does grow back rather fast though.

I have been told that I look much younger than my age, though I feel like the dimple on my right cheek is collapsing into a black hole....I am 34, and don't feel like I look much older than the girls all around me who are in their early 20's, but I am sorta paranoid about it because most other females around me are an average of about 12 years younger than me,,,,and my youthful appearance matches up with my impetuously childlike ways...I can't drive, and have really crappy theory of mind...there are only a few people I am able to bond with...and all the young girls have these things over me....so I guess it seems only fair that I have the advantage of looking youngish at least...My very ASish mom looks very young for her age as well....
Here is an ok pic of me I guess....
It helps that I have not had kids and whatnot,,,,

I do. A lot of people tell me that I look younger than I actually am. People have also mistakened my 19 year old brother (he's almost 19) for being older than me or for being a twin of mine (I'll be 21 in October). And I've noticed it in my pictures, I do look about 16-18 in some of my pictures. Though if I grow out my facial hair, I look about my age. Maybe I should just let it grow?

Yes, I do definitely. I am not sure if that is an Aspie thing because its also a hallmark of having ADD.

Whats more, not only do I look younger than I am, I also feel younger. Excepting those moments when I feel like ten thousand years old of course.

I'm not sure if I still look young for my age, but when I was 18 or 19 I used to get mistaken for being about 12. When I was in my late twenties people used to ask me if I was still at school and I actually had school-aged children of my own by that time! The worst thing was up until I was in my early 30's children used to ask me 'Are you a little girl or a lady?' That used to happen a lot. I am short with long, unstyled hair, don't wear make-up and I suppose back then I did dress in quite childlike clothes. I felt totally like a child still and not at all adult. It was possibly (at least in part) my behaviour, the way I carried myself and the way I came across that made me look so young.

There have been a lot of little kids who could not tell whether I was an adult or a child....
