Are You Often Mistakenly Perceived As Looking Older Or Younger Than You Really Are, And Does It Bother

oh Over half the time that's older than them by several years. But I am a very short afab autistic who wears character t-shirts and tends to like fandom stuff. I've been told I'm VERY baby faced. Like they only assume older because of things I'll say or something having a set age requirement But the trifecta of my face I find it so annoying now. And stop saying younger by so very much I WISH people would at least think I was a little older because I usually end up almost a decade off. which is to say Like a lady at the fair who thought I was 15 when I was about 24. And sort of understood being assumed to not be an adult when I was in cooking school at 26 and the teacher had to ask if I could drink It was a funny story at first a person here and there but it just keeps happening. I had coworkers who thought I was 19 at 30. And only thought that high because it was a kitchen that required me to be 18. But I regularly get people assuming SUPER young. At over 30 Having people do the whole oh By people who because of my complaining then think MAYBE early 20s. Like assumed that 24 was an old estimate. Boy can I relate to Chilchuck from Dungeon Meshi on that count. xD
