    Either younger or older?

    I seem to get mistaken for a high school kid a lot. Not bragging, I actually find it to be kind of annoying.

    I'm 20 but people always think I'm way younger than that. They probably think I'm around 15-16 years old.

    It's like the same with me. I'm 19 but I got asked if I was 16. And even though my sister is two years younger, people think she's older than me -_-

    Many times , everyone thinks I'm in high school some people think i"m 16 others thought I was 18 or 17 .
    This happens all the time . One time I wore a sexy outfit and a lady said Little girl you do know wearing an outfit to sexy for your age , you should wear it when your older . I told her I was 26 and she was shocked . People always calls me young lady makes me so upset . Sometimes I even get little girl .:bang:

    Everyone always thinks I'm younger! I'm 19 but most people think I'm 16 or 17. I'm the only one out of my friends who gets ID'd in clubs

    I'm 24, but people have been accusing me of being in my late twenties since I was 17. In a way, it's flattering. But it's not accurate.

    All the flippin' time! I'm 28 and around 10 years older than the majority of people in a couple of my classes (still working on my undergrad). Until I tell them how old I am, or I remember a historical event that happened years before they were even born, most people assume that I'm around 18-20.

    Not so much anymore. But when I was a teenager, yes. I remember being 15, and passing for 18. I used to be able to see a lot of R-rated movies, like this. I used to be able to buy alcohol at 17, because I looked old enough.

    Nowadays, I look about my age.

    Oh, look! A thread made just for me! My age has been guessed only once, and I've been guessed to be older only once. All 50-ish other times, it's several years younger.

    All the time when I go to get my haircut. "What grade are you in?" "Um, I graduated college earlier this year. I'm 22!" "Oh..." :lol:

    I've been to a lot of open houses and for some reason, the real estate agents always say things like "Do you go to [local high school]?" and I'll be like "actually I'm a sophomore in college". One time one of them said "you're just a baby!" and I was like "uhh...thanks?" :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    People used to say I looked older than my age. Now, especially presenting as male, no one questions my age

    I get hit on by a lot of college students who think I'm 18-19ish. Although, people still think I'm younger than my little sister because she's outrageously tall for her age :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    People usually assume I'm about 3-5 years older than I actually am. Not really good thing once you're past your teens...

    Or to answer your question more directly - yes, constantly.

    Most people think that I'm either about 10-ish from my looks or 15-ish from the way I speak.
    I have been called a 20 year old online more then once.
