I'm 24, but facially I look 15 at best. Luckily I'm not short.
A few months ago I was thinking about joining a gym so I went to check out one of the local gyms. The girl at reception asked me how old I am and if I have ID. I didn't have it with me because I didn't think I'd need it. I asked her if I can just walk around the gym to check out the equipment and she wouldn't let me.
You need to be at least 16 to join a gym without parent supervision. I'm 24 and she thought I was younger than 16. This is the kind of shit you have to deal with when you have a subhuman baby face.
I gave up and decided to continue working out at home.
I can't buy alcohol without getting embarrassed and when I'm at a restaurant with my family I can't order alcohol like everyone else without being asked for ID. People in general don't respect you at all. People at college often think I'm someone's younger brother. When I tell people I'm 24 they can't believe it. There's a guy there who is 19 and he looks almost 30. I'm 5 years older than him, but I look like a child next to him.
It's the biggest reason I'm still stuck being a teenager mentally. How am I supposed to grow up when I look like a teenager?
