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

Wow, I'm really surprised that everyone here says they look a lot younger than they actually are. I'd say that most people can correctly gauge my age (20). When I was younger everyone thought I was much older than I really was, but my growth stagnated since then.
 
I'm 20. If I speak with people over TS or Discord or whatever friends will assume I am much older than I am, as in late 20s even sometimes 30s. In person I've been mistaken for mid-late 20s as well, and that was when I was 17-18. Emotional maturity shifts depending on states of mind but I like to think I am pretty good at keeping my shit together, so I would say considerably more than my age. Might be how I carry myself, or it might be the fact that I have dark circles the size of Texas.

I'm 24 but people often mistaken me for being in my late teens. I think it's due to the fact that I'm short, have freckles, and have a bit of a baby face. Oddly enough, I don't get carded as much as I think I would.

Anyway it's a weird paradox. I currently live at home (Although I lived on my own for a few months and most likely gonna move out again in February), still work in retail as a cashier, and still working on my BA. But I consider myself responsible and emotionally mature (Aside from a few procrastination tendencies). And I think I'm doing "better" than most people I knew from high school in terms of being an adult. Still, there's a lot of room for improvement.

I'm also pretty damn meek due to Social Anxiety and thus, I think I come off as more immature and childish to people than I actually am. Or maybe that's all in my head.

Well, I'm 19, going to be 20 this January actually, but people seem to think I look and act older than I actually am...
 
I like to think I look younger than I actually am. Since some people express surprise when I tell them my actual age.

So I guess around 20 or 21.
 
I'm 21 but I very, very frequently get mistaken for much younger. I got mistaken for a college freshman (I'm a senior) recently, and I've had many people mistake me for a high schooler too. A few years ago, multiple people mistook me for, like, 12.
 
I'm 23 and regularly get confused for 26 or 27 due to my height, long hair, and very deep voice. In my senior year of high school, I was confused for a student teacher. In my freshman year of college, I was confused for a grad student. Now that I'm working on my masters, everybody thinks I'm a PhD. candidate.
 
I'm 26 and I guess I look it, although when I'm clean shaven I've been told I look quite young (which only gets me ID'd)
 
I look like a twelve year old boy. I'm okay with looking like a boy, that being the aim, but it's hard to get a normal boyfriend when you look like you should be watching spongebob.

edit: am over 20

When I was in my teens, people thought I looked like a college kid. I don't think I've changed that much physically since then. I maintain a clean shaven look and have done so since I was about 16 and compared to others my age, I'm a bit shorter than they are.
 
I have the misfortune of being short, skinny, and baby-faced, so that throws people off. The lowest guess I get is 16.
Mind you, I'm 25.

I'm 20 and if I were to guess only based on how I feel, I'd probably say anywhere from 19-21. I feel pretty well adjusted for my age.

Going off looks is an entirely different story though. People always tell me I look like I'm 16. Fucking always. People mistake me for being my 13 year old sister's younger sibling.

I'm only slightly bitter over how many times that's happened.

I'm 24. People guess anywhere from 21 to 28 (not kidding) depending on stuff like how I'm wearing my hair, if I'm wearing makeup, etc. (Granted, the people who assume I'm way older always do so because all of my friends are a lot older than me, but still.)

I'm 18. People either assume I'm a high school freshman, or in my twenties. I'm a pretty short and stocky person, so I suppose that makes it harder to guess.
 
I'm 23 but no-one believes I'm not younger (I think it's a retail thing to be honest- one of the other guys is like, 17 but he's as huge as a tree so no-one think's he's that age, and that's just one of us.)

When we went out for a meal with work, one of the guys who was 18 didn't get ID'd. I did. He laughed at me and then we did shots.

It's annoying, but it might be useful when I'm like, 500 years old.
 
I would guess based on personality alone 11 years old.
I have autism so I can't accurately guessed based on appearance.
