I’m 29 but I get told I look 18-19. And the people who tell me this regularly see a lot of people on the daily, from police officers to nurses to salon workers. When I tell them my actual age they literally gasp or laugh at me. The older I get, the more pronounced their reaction is. Doctors were saying “you definitely have something wrong, I can tell just by looking at you” but then the hormonal results all came back normal and they just shrugged. Another weird thing is anti-loitering devices hurt my ears, and those aren’t supposed to affect people older than 20.

    I’m old now but look nearly identical to how I did in high school. Its annoying to answer after a while and have everyone be completely in awe or disbelief. So no, its not.

      I get told that whenever I run into people from high school, unless I’ve got my beard. My beard is gray enough to show my age.
