It happened to me again today, I?m new to my job and I was chatting with a coworker and he asked me where I went to school when I told him what college I go to he sat there for a minute then asked me how old I was, I told him and he was like ?ohh I thought you were so much younger!?

Good grief.
Yes, if not slightly older.
It seems to swing both sides of the spectrum. Sometimes people think I'm in my forties, sometimes they think I'm under 15. I've been out with my husband and someone thought he was my son, I've been out with my sister and they thought I was her daughter. I think it's because I'm short, but sometimes I have that harried, mother of 7 kids look going on so they don't know what to make of me.
I'm 26. I feel like I look a bit older than I am, but I've met a lot of new people this year, and those people kept telling me that they thought I was 19 specifically for some reason. I think it might be because I have braces, also I'm average-sized, but my cheeks are a little chubby. Maybe my energy has something to do with it too.

lmao no. I look much younger than I am. I'm coming up 21 and most people guess between 15 and 18. I remember when I first started my job people were shocked when I said I was a third-year university student, they all thought I was 18 or younger xD

I've always looked significantly younger than my age, which annoyed me back then. I think I look more my age now, but am often told otherwise.
It doesn't bother me now, mainly because I'm comfortable with who I am. It's simply a nice compliment now.

When I was younger, people always thought I was quite a bit older. I remember I went to the bank when I was like 12, and the people there somehow thought I was in my 20s o-o People usually thought I was older because of my height (which I was never super tall or anything so...?) Now, I think I'm starting to look a little bit more my age, but I'm curious to see if I end up looking younger (when I'm older x3)
People always think I'm younger because I'm a little short and have a baby face. Just recently a coworker I just met (who's a couple years younger than me) asked if I was still in high school. I'm starting my fourth year of college this fall ��

No. I'm turning 23 soon but when people meet me they think I'm around 15-18.
No, I look a lot younger. People usually think I'm in my early 20s.
Nope, often people in my college think i'm younger than I actually am. When I tell them my age, they're usually shocked and say "I thought you were 16!" or "If I didn't know you i'd think you were twelve" lmao. It doesn't help that I don't dress my age and I stopped aging at 10 years old. One time a guy approached me in the street and asked me how old I was, and I lied and said I was 14. He believed it... even though I was wearing my college ID.
