If you didn't know your age, what age would you guess?

I think I more or less look my age (21)... I'm not sure if I actually do however, as I have a tendency to get ID'd a lot.

In terms of how I feel, I don't feel like I'm an adult yet, even though I should. I'm jobhunting, I completed a university education, you'd think these are things that make me feel like an adult, but nope. I have no idea when that'll happen.

As for what age I act, it really depends. I'll admit I can be a bit immature sometimes, but usually when I need to be, I can be mature without much of an issue. It all depends on environment I guess.

I used to act very immature around friends when I was younger, but as I have gotten older and been in working environments that all changed

I am 19 (almost 20) but I still look like I just finished high school (albeit facial hair grows back faster now :lol: )
 
I'm 23 (already rounding up to 24, but that's next month), look ohhh, mid-teens. And people can only correctly guess my sex half the time (or they just awkwardly avoid that), so that's a factor. I think it lowers my apparent age.

But at age 17 I had a bad back, and only now is it starting to get better (I don't really know what happened).

I'm a NEET, just got over being sick for 4-5 months, but am still a bit sick. I really need a job. A job is sorely missing in my life. Meanwhile, I'm just taking care of myself and trying to lengthen my pathetic attention span and build some patience and something that resembles a work ethic.

I look the same as I did when I was 15, and unfortunately I really feel like I haven't improved at all since 18. My friends (IRL friends) have gone places since that age, and are doing what they love and get paid for it. I realized my big dream of being a Disney Animator is a pipe dream, and that really killed a lot of enjoyment of drawing for me. Now I struggle with the "what's the use, it's all a waste of time" mentality.

So I'm more concerned with stagnation than age.
 
I'm 23, but I look (and people I know say act) like I'm close to 30. Honestly, it used to bother me, but seeing photographs of my parents not aging too much after 25 or so is encouraging.
 
I'm 23 but people always think I'm in high school. It gets amusing sometimes. At my cousin's house, his stepsister (who I just met for the first time this year) found out it was my birthday back in July, asked how old I was now. I said to guess. She guessed 19 on the knowledge that I don't go to high school, lol. When I said 23, she called me a liar. I had to get out ID and prove to her that I'm 3 years older than her. People who don't know me or my life typically assume I'm 16 to 17. I get asked for ID to buy M-rated games, my 17 year old nephew never does. He goes to a tobacco store to get tobacco, they don't ID him. I go to get rolling papers, I get ID'd. On the other side of things, if I didn't know me I would probably guess 17 and have a hard time figuring out my gender. lol.

Did I mention I'm an expert at losing my ID? That makes things so much more annoying than they have to be!

I'd guess probably 17 or 18 considering other people who don't know my actual age tend to guess those two numbers. I'm 24, but my short height and petite build tends to throw a lot of people off.
 
I've been asked "what high school do you go to" and after being corrected the other person often comments they thought I was 16-17. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, since a lot of people in my family look younger than they actually are.
 
People tend to tell me I look younger that I am. I think it is because I have long hair, but people usually guess 20 or so. I recently turned 24.

I would say have the emotional maturity of a 20 year old. Lately, I have been trying to focus on what I can do for other people and be about something other than myself.
 
I literally have no idea, my face seems pretty ageless to me. Like, in one lighting/facial expression I can seem 16 but in another I can seem up to 25. I have tattoos though so everyone automatically assumes I'm at least 18

As recently as two weeks ago I've had people guess my age and get as high as nineteen.

I'm almost thirty. It's part of the reason I keep the beard these days.

Yeah, I know that. It's that babyface.
 
I actually look a lot older than I am since I am 4 (turning 5 on feb 29th next year) but I look like I am in my mid to late teens
