i'd take your guidance and expertise seriously

i look a lot older than what i am, which isnt always a good thing

[Voldey]

@ForgetTheLie I don't think i'd like it very much if I were mistaken for being older than I am.

I also find this annoying, especially when it's used as a response in its own right.... 'Oh, silly you, you're just too young to understand. I'm going to run away now because I don't have a proper response for you, because you are entirely right.'

They soon come running back when it comes to dealing with computers though, don't they? Hahaha... I actually get a masochistic pleasure out of giving tech advice to oldies, just because of being treated like an idiot as a child.

[Voldey]

@OrgasmandTea Yeah, they all do come running back every time they need help with computers. "Oh, you don't know anything about this but you sure do know a lot about computers!" -_-

That is annoying when you dont get listened to because people presume your not old enough to understand. My problem is a whole different one and that is being treated like i dont know what i'm talking about in regards to maintaing my car and guitars... granted its mostly the older generation who seem to do this moreso in my experience but its still a bit annoying.

Least as you say when the years go by you will still look younger which will be pretty awesome :)

[Voldey]

@Katest3r I completely understand your problem. People don't think you know what you're doing because you're younger than other people who know what they're doing. It sucks.

[blisterpacman]

i feel the same way, i just use it to my advantage

[BeaNieRoka]

I hate when so many older people assume that teenagers or young adults (im 18) are wrong or make bad decisions all the time! I've been through a lot in my short time on this earth and I like to think I'm just as understanding/sensible as most adults!

[studentdotcom]

Looking young for your age is something that is just going to keep getting better and better for you over time, so hope that you'll always look younger than you are. Oh, and I knew very early on not to take you at all seriously. :)

In Vold I trust!

[IdkMurray]

So do I

[DreamsMelody]

I look younger than I am as well. It can get really annoying in certain situations, but I've kind of learned just to brush it off. People's instinct is to make generalizations based on appearances and I know that sometimes I can be guilty of that.

@Voldey :/

False beard then?

[llamaindisguise]

oh my god. the twins thing. I have a sister that is a year older than me and everyone thinks we are twins or I am older. It's so annoying and I'm getting ridiculously sick of it so I know exactly how you feel.

[shaylaluna]

@Voldey Then we should talk about it!

[theshortestkumar]

but hey, if you look younger you can get into movies for cheaper. oh wait...
