Well...I've experienced people thinking I'm older and people thinking I'm younger. For example, when I was at a Barnes and Noble chatting with a cashier she thought I was a college student even though I was just in my 2nd year of high school.

Until just recently (16 years old right now), every time I went to a restaurant the waiters would give me kids menus thinking that I was still quite young 🤣

For the most part I get mistaken for being much younger than I really am (2-5 years). I'm used to it since I got a baby face, but I still don't like it. only about 5 times in my life have ppl actually thought I was older than I really am and I really don't know what they was thinking though.

I think I look my age. Just like an average looking thirteen year old girl.

Not that I ask people if I look my age, but I believe that they wouldn't think I'm younger or older than I am.

***Much ***younger.
I have issues with getting into clubs.
And movies rated over pg-something.
Really, I don't think I look that young: I'm just baby faced and petite >:-(
(I rather like the way I look anyway...)

I get both "you look older/younger."

When I'm with my older sister, people think I'm the older one even though I'm shorter. (I'm quite petite :[ ) But among my high school friends, I'd look younger. It really depends on how I'm dressed that day XD

They sometimes think I'm older or younger... bah! Who gets them. I look my age. During Christmas someone thought I was in junior high =.= Other times, I get mistaken for a older person.. probably due to wearing heels and putting pencil skirts XD

depends who i am with, if i am with my brothers i am always assumed as the youngest if we get introduced as brothers to strangers, but with friends and peers generally around the right age give or take a couple years

This one time when I went out with my friends, this waitress in a restaurant mistook me for my friend's father, though lampshaded cause a guy in my group actually told me I looked like an old man when we met up.

if you asked the same question 7 years ago, i said that people thought i'm older than may age. When I was in high school, they thought i'm already college student.
But now when I meet someone they think that i'm a high school student or at least freshman in college ? ? ? 😲 that's pretty funny...

much younger, once a girl asked my age while we waited for the bus, she thought I was like 15yo just around her age, but actually I was 23 yo at that time, odd enough and I thought she was at least 19 or 20.

do asian really look younger >.>? ppl wont guess my age wrong in my homeland.

The sleek skin and lack of angular facial structure
can be deceiving.

Yeah, it's good at make people think you're your friend's father (in my case). 🤣 🤣 🤣

When I have a straight face ('cause I smile almost constantly when I'm with my friends), I'm often assumed to be in my 20s when I'm currently 14. I get to make all sorts of friends, though. 😀

Quote from Mamsmilk

Well, at least it is not as bad as with my sister,
who is assumed to be 10 years younger than she is.

My sisters have the same problem.

The eldest is 30. She tried to buy wine and they wouldn't let her because they didn't believe she was over 21.
The other is 25, and they didn't believe she was over 16 when she tried to buy a lottery ticket 🤣

Where were the I.Ds I wonder.
🤣
