Is it normal i feel really offended over looking young?

I am mid 30's and easily look early 20's.

The worst bit is when you are in a position of authority and are required to give an informed, educated dissemination of information or opinion... and people don't take you seriously because they think you are younger than you are.

When you're about 35 or 40 years old I suspect you'll feel differently.

boo fuckin hoo

clown

People can be rude and hurtful and Im sorry you are going through that crap.
Just be strong and laugh at their stupid asses

I remember when I used to get asked for my ID when going out to a club or bar. It used to be a bit irritating.

Not nearly as irritating as these days when the girl in front of me who is only 3 years younger got asked for ID and so I had mine out at the ready only to be told "Your fine ma'am I dont need to see yours"

So enjoy it while it lasts cause once its gone you REALLY miss it.

I feel you! I'm 20, and I don't look as young as you, but people often think I'm 15. It's annoying. I got carded to see Deadpool, because you have to be 17 to see R-rated movies. My (younger) friend didn't. Everyone says you'll appreciate when you're older, and I'm sure I will, but right now it suuucks.

I'm 30 and people say I look very young too... but, after reading all your replies to the other people, I can honestly say that atleast I am not being a bitch about it

solid, your a man. and …. no its not normal because, your a man.

My sister could not buy cigs when she was 21. She filled out with time and had a nice figure.

Im 22, I wear make up all the time (foundation, blush, eyeliner, mascara, eyebrows coloured with eyebrow pencil) and people still think Im 16-18 but someone told me I look like 14. However I was never asked for my ID in a club, so I dont know if I really look young or just people around me are dumb. I guess people think Im a teenager because Im small and slim and I usually wear sneakers+jeans+tshirt and I hate it when I have to dress formal, and I have to run to catch the bus everyday so sneakers are the best option for me. And it really sucks when people tell me I look like a teen because I hate teenagers and I hated being a teenager because everyone around me was just stupid and annoying. (they still are but I give less fucks about them)

Its worse when youre 21 in an adult prison and you look about 15

What Rose said, you're gonna look young for your age when you're older aswell and that's a blessing. I can imagine it's gonna be a pain for now but you'll be glad later down the line, bud.

I've come to think of it as a blessing to look like a kid at 20. A tall kid with big boobs.. People still ask if I'm 14 or what grade I'm in.. Are you short? It might be worse for you.

Do you play into or against this image? I had grown men hitting on me when I was 12 becos at least they said I looked old enough to be legal. Make up how you dress how you carry yourself all become part of your presentation. If your wearing no make up or in a way that accentuates a very young look or dressing like a child or have the hair style of a child and act like a child thats how alot of ppl will perceive you.

But the bottom line should be... why do you care what other ppl think? Ppl that will judge you like that aren't worth your time.

When you're 30 or 40 that's going to be great for you.
