looking young

It happens to me too. When I was in high school everyone thought that I was older than I was and now everyone thinks that I am young. I am constantly told that I don't look old enough to be a lawyer! So, part of me likes the looking young thing. But professionally I think that it can be a liability.

I get it too. It does bother me sometimes. When DH and I are walking around the mall, we will get dirty looks from old ppl. He looks his age, 26...however, I looked 17 or younger....I'm 25. When ppl point it out to me, I always ask "how old do you think I am?" I like to see there answers. When I was 20, I was driving a golfcart for someone....I over heard the person say "She should be able to get her driver's license with no problem." I hit the breaks and looked at them...pointing out that I already drive...lol. I also get the "one day you will apprecate it". So I try to remind myself, when all my friends are in their late 30s, and look like they are in their early 40s, I can take comfort in knowing I still look like I'm in my late 20s.

Hey Nicola, Yes, i think it is a c/f thing, but in my case i am grateful for it, my hubby is quite a few years younger than me... Most ppl would give a lot to look younger, enjoy every minute of it.. just think, it's much better than looking older than your age <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> joni

I look younger than I am, and I guess I am ok with it. It's just who I am. When ever I go into the hospital and meet fellow CF'ers I always thought they looked younger than their age, so I figured it was territory with the disease. Who knows. It's not such a bad thing, although I am 25 and the other day I had someone think I was 15. haha. What happenned to those 10 years?! I am going to use it to my advantage and do one of those age guesser things at this year's state fair! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
