When you look much younger than you are. I'm 21 & people are always saying are you 12? You're not old enough to work in a pharmacy! It gets old lol.

I think youre lucky! It's better in the long run to look younger than your age! Maybe now its frustrating but when you're 50 but looking 30, everyone else will be 50 looking 60 haha! Love yourself hun xo.

That's a good thing.. that means you'll age well. It probably gets old.. but take it as a compliment. you shouldn't complain about being told you look young. I love being told I look younger than my age.

I'm 14 but everyone seems to think I'm older and they all say to me "what college are you going to?" and it's really annoying :(

Def a good thing to look younger than you really are. It'll be very beneficial in the long run.

I get it all the time. I teach in a middle school and the lunch ladies are always asking me what grade I'm in! Guess it'll pay off later!

I also get it a lot, I'm 31 and I often get 18-early 20's... I will just appreciate it when I get older.

When I has on high school I always look older and I love it, but in college I get really mad if someone told me I look older. But now most people guest my age correctly!

Oh I know the feeling. It's a compliment but I am 22 and people think I'm like 16 on my YouTube. We just have good genes 😊 you are beautiful by the way!

I wish I had found this thread earlier! :-P I'm 23 and I've seen 15 year olds who look older than I am. And I definitely do not consider it to be a blessing, it is more of a hindrance due to my career (and I simply don't like it). I work in airport operations and am a part-time commercial pilot, it is essential for safety reasons for people to take me seriously, but if I look like I'm 15, they assume that I am inexperienced so being taken seriously is hard to accomplish. Some people treat me like a child upon first meeting me, and I occasionally receive some pretty impolite comments on how young I look. That is in no way a blessing!
So no, I will never appreciate looking younger than I am. It is not a compliment in my eyes. I don't understand how some women can place so much value on trying to look decades younger just to be "pretty," when women who actually do look younger than they really are struggle just to be taken seriously.
