TexasDice Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015  People always think I'm 1-2 years younger than I actually am, which greatly irritates me. I don't like being thought of as a high schooler anymore, since that time of my life is in the past, thank God. Confession: I'm in my 20s and I still always have to get my ID checked. People look at me strangely if I'm in an adult place, since I don't seem like I belong probably.  When I tell people my real age... they always get shocked, and say I look like I'm 14-16 or something.   I dread the older I get, their surprise just gets worse. You guys sure have different views on the world. My soul is relieved everytime I'm asked to show my ID somewhere.  I hate to be old, I never wanted to get old. Whenever I look into a mirror, I feel like punching the grandpa in front of me. Every single morning, I have to completely shave my face and use hairgel in order to hide my right balding spot, I'm so sick of it. Last week, I went to the local tavern at night, in order to grab something to eat. Everyone there was like 30-60 years old and looked at me like some kind of alien. I felt completely out of place and that made me really happy.  I fear the day a random teenager on the street uses formal speech ("sie" instead of "du") to adress me... Gibberish 1 Quote

Getsuya Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 That's me. Â Confession: On my way back to my hotel after going to Akiba the other day I was propositioned by a woman on a shady corner. She asked me if I'd like her to take away my exhaustion. I had to just shake my head and hurry on by because I almost started laughing and I think that might have upset her. I have a bad habit of laughing automatically when I'm surprised by something, and running into pros in Japan always tends to surprise me, though this isn't the first time it's happened. Quote
Shoon-kami Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Whenever I pull my hair back into a ponytail, people mistake me for being in my mid 20s. When my hair's down, they think I'm in my early 20s. Quote

Fred the Barber Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 I know, right? My hairline has started to recede and I'm not even 25 yet. There's nothing I'd hate more than looking bald and old before I'm 30. Except being stabbed to death. Or being stabbed to death while being bald before my 30's. Quote
LiquidShu Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Moro's was the weakest, Capt's was pretty good, but Gakuto's was the best, in my opinion. Don't worry, there's no bromance or BL or anything, it's basically just having them be the main focus instead of a heroine. Their relationships stay the same.   Quote
Tyrael Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Confession:I haven't been outside my house in like 6 months >.>  Totally serious confession: I love Sara  Confession: I'm envious, I wish I never had to leave my place Quote
Rabbit Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Confession: I would prefer not to work a day in my life yet it depresses me to have nothing to do, ah the human mind and how contradicting it can be sometimes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Quote
hsmsful Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 While we are on the subject , I would say that I hate looking older than my age, but for some reason people think I am an oji-san (called like that in my first anime convention by every guy T.T). A few incidents have been annoying for me in my life cuz of that. For example I was on the seaside and wanted to ask for a beer , he actually gave me one but then I told him I was a minor and he told me that I look like a 25-year-old guy. Another example was that day when I was lost in another city and a policeman asked where I worked and asked for my ID and was amazed to see I am too young to make one(this one was over a year ago). Finally I was walking with a classmate of mine and we were kinda holding hands and suddenly a guy said "fucking pedophiles" while passing by me and another one told me "isn't she too young for you?" and I just don't get it since I am relatively short (only 170 cm) and I don't look that old. I don't even have that much facial hair ... sigh.... Quote
Yuuko Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 It must suck sometimes to look older. I look like all the other guys my age except I am taller than anyone else Quote
Rabbit Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Yeh I can imagine it being a pain, aspecially when you are around the age of 14-20, I think i pretty much look like other guys my age aswell just I might look a littlebit like a vampire. Quote
sarayne Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Most people think I'm like 15 or 16 but in fact I'm 22. Also it doesn't help that I'm short for my age/gender. Quote
Mr Poltroon Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 It's in the damn genes. My 45 year old uncle still looks about 25 and I'm a High-School student for everyone who seems me. Thankfully, I don't exactly mind it. I don't drink, I don't smoke, and I don't leave the house much, all's well. Though, somewhat strangely, when I was in middle school I was mistaken for a teacher on couple of occasions, because I tend to wear formal attire and I look pretty serious - I loved that. Quote
TexasDice Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Another depressing part, is that I'm really popular with mature women (moms, teachers, my mom's co-workers, etc) and everytime I'm being complimented by them, I can't help but feel insulted. Quote

Cyrillej1 Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 You guys sure have different views on the world. My soul is relieved everytime I'm asked to show my ID somewhere. I think it's more like, the surprised reaction can get kinda old and annoying after seeing/hearing it so many times before. So before I say my age, I may be thinking in my mind, *anticipates surprise* "I wonder what age they'll think I am this time" kind of thing, lol.  Sometimes it almost sounds as if they don't take me seriously either because I may look young.  Now, when I actually get really old, and if that could still happen xD perhaps then I'll be more thrilled about it, haha.  Confession: I gathered up the courage, and tried talking on Ren's Teamspeak today. Quote
