    When I was little people always thought I was older than I was after speaking to me for a while.

    Yes usually most people think I'm younger. I'm 21 and have been mistaken for anywhere between 12-14 years old. However it's great whenever I go somewhere and get in for kids price lol

    I'm 25, but get mistaken for younger all the time. I have a baby face and a young voice.

    Since I've started passing as male, I have people that think I am anywhere from 12-17. It's funny how they react when I tell them that I am actually 21.

    Someone once thought I was nine. At that point, I was already 6 feet tall...

    Yeah, it happens often. I look a lot younger. Only way for people to have an accurate guess at my age is to talk to me, but because I don't talk much, they don't know.

    Most people think I'm 15-16, but one guy asked my aunt for my number after seeing a picture of me when I was maybe twelve or eleven. He thought I was nineteen..

    When I was a younger, I was often mistaken as being many years older. If anyone thinks that I am older or younger, they haven't told me.

    Think I've got a case of the Benjamin Buttons because when I was younger I was always mistaken for older and now vice versa. Never got asked for ID when I was underage or anything, if fact once I got talking to people they thought I was significantly older (like mid 20s) when I was only about 14 and I had to show my bus pass to prove otherwise. But then from about 19 onwards I started getting asked for ID and now at 28 I keep getting told I look 'MUCH younger'.

    Quite a lot. Around 12, I looked about 8. Now, I can still pass for anything 2-3 years in either direction.

    I'm 43 and people generally tend to peg me at mid-30s. My partner is even more so--he's 49 and people often think he's younger than I, oftentimes the same people who thought I was mid-30s. That's a 15 year spread for him!
