    People think I'm in my mid 30s. I'm actually in my late 40's. Not a bad gig!

    People think I look younger. Most of the time they are only 3-4 years off, but a good portion think I am only 16-17. I am 23. I get annoyed now - because HS girls are not my favorite age, however, I know in 5 years and so on, I will be happy that I do not look my age. :D

    I'm 30. A few weeks ago a student (I work at a college) said he thought I was 24. Two days ago I was with my little sister (5 years younger) and someone asked which of us is older. ;D

    People have always thought I looked younger - i got carded until I was 35. (I lalways aughed really hard when they would ask to see my id.) Turned 50 last month and had to convince some of my co-workers that i really was 50. But hey, I'll take it!

    I'm 43 and most people say I look younger. Especially since I've lost weight.

    People generally think I am younger, and I am okay with that. :)

    A lot of the students at uni assumed I was much younger - but when I talk at work about my eldest being 21 soon I get some odd looks - I am 45 but hear quite often that I look in my mid 30's - I dunno if that will change when I lose my weight lol.

    I'm 30 and recently someone asked me what grade I was in...haha. Normally most people assume I am between 20 and 22 years old.

    People think I look younger. I'm pretty sure it's because I'm immature.

    Always younger since forever...or at least as long as I can remember. It's somewhat better now that I've started getting gray streaks. People at least don't assume I'm "just a kid" anymore but I know I don't look my age. It was bothersome when I was younger and wanted to be considered "mature" but now that I'm older, it's not so bad to look younger than I am. Whenever people find out how old I really am, they are amazed but at least the estimates are now in the 30 somethings and not tweens or teens. I suppose it helps when I go out with a 10-year old and 13-year old in tow to prove that I'm not fresh off the turnip truck. :o)

    I'm 20 and I have a 17 year old brother. For the longest time I would get "so, how's your older brother doing?"

    Or "Oh, did your brother give you a ride today?"

    And I can't even tell you how many people think we're twins!

    Someone didn't believe I had a 10 year old today...she thought I was 27. I'm 35. Aside from my copious grey hair, which I color, people generally think I'm younger than I am.

    I'm 34 and people usually think I'm younger. Someone guessed 24 the other day (they're crazy ;)) but the usual guess is 26-28. Probably has something to do with the fact that I don't spend time laying in the sun and I wear sunscreen religiously.

    When I was young (talking like kid age) people thought I was older
    When I was 12 - I could pass for 18
    Now that Im in my mid to late 20s people think Im in my early 20s

    When I was a kid, everyone thought I was older. They thought I was my brother's older sister. From between 16-24, people thought I was 16-18, depending on whether they knew my profession. Now that I'm 27, I get around 25 =( I'm starting to look closer to my age. Nooooo.

    When I was 14, 15, 16 people thought I was 25. But now I'm 25, I guess I look my age. People guess 26, 27, 28 I just always acted mature
