do you look and act your physical age?

I'm 19, how old I act depends on who I'm with and where. I feel 17 at heart :redface:
I'm 16.

I look about 15 by my face only, but as soon as people see my height I look more like a 12 year old.
Honestly.

On the other hand, I act like a 40 year old man who's realised he has no fun in his life anymore. Basically, it takes A LOT to make me properly come out of the moral, introverted, slightly egotistical but relaxed person I am and into this outgoing person.

But I really do not look, nor do I act, like my age.

21 and a few months ago (when I was clean shaven) I got asked for ID when going to see an 18+ film :colondollar: That's why I've got a beard now (think I look better with one anyway) :u:

And I get told that I act like someone in their mid-20s :lol:


beards do tend to make people look older, in a good way though :smile: Suprisngly seeing 18's is the only time i dont end up getting id'd
Definitely look younger but think I act my age!

I'm 21, have been told that i look between 16 and 20 but act like someone in their mid to late twenties. (my friends used to call me a middle aged teenager)

What about you? :smile:


Now, you see...

I think that you're thinking that those people who're thinking that you;re thinking that you're 21 (see :tongue: ) that are thinking of this aren't those who're thinking of what i'm think. I think that you think you know what I think I mean, but I think that you don't think that! I think you'll find that you think it makes sense, though I don't think it does.

Make sense?

LOL :laugh: That's true, and there are some guys I look at thinking how did these lot make it to uni :tongue:

Whenever I've met older guys from sports and they've gotten to know me after while, they usually think I'm a postgrad student. Then I'm like "No mate, I'm actually first year undergraduate" :colondollar: They still treat me the same though, which is nice.


I have to admit, although i lived with third years for a bit there were points (especially with some of their werid cooking methods) where i wondered how someone in their 20's couldnt do that.

I guess i d take them believing you to be mature for your age to be a compliment.
I'm 16 but people think I am 12 or 13 as I am only 150cm tall :frown: . I really do hope I act my age

Physical age? As opposed to metaphysical age?
I'm 16

but I look older rip
so tall

it sucks

People expect me to be more mature *shrug*
I'm 22, if I have a clean shave I look about 9 but when I have my beard going people say I look about 25... as for feeling my age, I don't feel my age at all I honestly feel like I haven't aged since turning 17/18 lol
nope
im 16 but look like a 12 year old and with act..
it depends on who im with tbh, only my closest friends know how i really am ((and that's only two people))

Yeah, maybe laziness just comes into play with that and they don't grow out of old habits.

And for sure I take it as a compliment :smile:

I think a lot of people have told me that on here. It just proves my point. :lol:


I'm afraid it does, i did mean it as a compliment though.

I'll often be very mature about situations that somebody in my age group typically has no business being in, also I can get easily annoyed at people for doing things incorrectly, almost as if they were my own child. That's mainly just an annoying habit of mine.

I chose 40 specifically, because I always feel exactly like my father who - guess what - is 40.


So you're a bit of a perfectionist then? I get what you mean,used to mention things like interest rates as a teenager and my friends had no clue what i was on about:P

Kind of... but i m not thinking it, people have physically told me what they believe my age to be, its that annoying sentence "oh i thought you were 17, you dont look 21" or "you speak like you're 25, you cant be 21".
