CreepyCrawler Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 I don't have a digital camera and I don't know enough about computers to scan my pictures so I'm not going to post my pic. But I am 23 years old and EVERYONE I meet thinks I'm in High school. If I tell people I'm 14, they believe me. If I mention I'm in college, they think I'm 17/18 (a freshman). When I tell people I'm 23, their eyes bulge out and their jaws drop -- even people YOUNGER than I am think I'm really young. I'm not sure how I feel about this. Part of me is insulted b/c who wants to be thought of at 14 (no offense voici) when you're 23? 14 was bad enough the first time around. Part of me is kind of glad that I don't look like I'm in my 40's at 23. What do you think? Should I be insulted or is that just stupid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 CC, it happens to me, too, especially when i don't wear make up. most of the time i just shrug it off, and consider it a blessing and hope that i look this good when i am forty. rarely though, it really torks me off.

MrsFrozen Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 This happens to me, too, especially when I don't wear make-up. People think I'm 18, though, not 14. I am 24. Don't let it bug you. I am complimented by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prov31girl Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 People usually think I'm older than I am. I like it now, but I probably won't in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalscout Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Wait about 10 years. Enjoy it while you can. The worst part is when everyone gets carded [i]but[/i] you. You will be looking back fondly when people used to mistake you for a younger person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lil bull 04 Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 I have the same problem except for the fact that I'm only 17 and people usually think I'm 12. They almost wouldn't let me in to see the Passion of the Christ because they didn't believe me until they seen my drivers liscence. Of course I look all of 12 since I am only about 5ft 2in and and really skinny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 it's funny that you bring the topic up, CC, because when my hubby shaves he looks about 16 again, even though he's almost 26. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin D Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 It's good to look young. You may not like it [b]now[/b], but you will once you get older. Look at me, I'm 17 but I look a couple years younger.

mamalove Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Yup, I look young for my age too. In fact, the other day a salesman came to the door and asked if my parents were home (I will be 25 in August). Imagine his surprise when I told him I [i]am[/i] the parent! Kinda made my day, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
