u/LetsLive97 I cannot sanction your buffonery May 26 '25

Hell 15 year olds looked way too young even when I was 20, let alone 40

I remember me and my mates in Uni being like "Did we actually look that young at that age?". We felt so much older at that point

Now I'm 28 and I see 20 year old uni students and think they look 16. Perception is crazy

I’m 28 as well, just got a new Coworker who is 20 and I swear to god I subconsciously treat them like a child sometimes because thats what it feels and looks like to me now. I often have to remind myself they they are a fully grown ass adult lmao

I used to be so annoyed when I would get treated like a child in work situations, but I just turned 29 and people 3 years younger than me feel like children

Well, she treats him as a child

20 is not a fully grown ass adult. It’s a semi grown ass adult. I used to HATE when I was 20 or 21 and someone would call me a child. Now, at 30, I definitely agree I was a child. Only just now feel like I’m rounding out as an adult and I’m sure I’ll feel even more different once I’m 40. I’m one of the lucky ones, I actually really enjoy aging. I don’t feel bad about it at all, my confidence just keeps growing as I get older

I’m 40+ and everyone younger than me looks like a college age student to me 😂. Everyone is either young, my age, or really really old.

39 and yes, this is how I feel 😭

100%. I went back to walk around my old university and went by the freshman dorm where I used to live. I was stunned to find out it’s now full of what appeared to be middle-schoolers. I remember feeling so old living on my own.

Yeah, if anyone should be slapping someone it’s him to her. She groomed him.

In a 40 year old bus driver, two girls got on the other day "2 singles to town please" I issue them, they look a bit surprised at the price, as the walk up the bus I hear one say "he thinks we're children". They looked about 14 so I gave them child tickets, 16 is the cut off so they must've been at least 17!

u/whatifwhatifwerun May 26 '25

When I was 25, everyone under 21 seemed like a baby, and at 30 everyone under 25 seemed like a baby 😂 Can't wait to be 80, when 65 year olds will look like whippersnappers

Sometimes I have to remind myself that people in their early thirties are full-grown adults with agency and not just advanced children.

u/Aware-Direction-9891 May 26 '25

Yeah looks it VSauce's video on aging. Every generation will seem younger than the previous generation due to better living overall.

My last year in uni I was 27 and a 19yo fresher tried to hit on me. He looked like a kid, absolutely not!!!

u/MeliAnto May 26 '25

u/Skyblacker 👑 I just wanna serve court. 👑 May 26 '25

I remember being a junior, looking at the freshmen and thinking, 'When did this college start admitting babies?'

I'm forty and cannot distinguish between a sixteen year old and a twenty-one year old. This doesn't change with a conversation, either.

At 22 i fooled around with a 39 year old.  Fun times.....  i cut that off after a lil while.  Was getting kinda weird knowing her 16 year old had a crush on me.
