AIBU to get so offended

[Littlelondoner]

I more and more find my self getting offended by things people say to me with regards to my apperance.

I am 28 with a very petite but curvy figure but my face looks really young. I have very soft features that masses of contouring can not help.

I always have people look at me and treat me like I am a lot younger than I am. A young teenager.

Only for them to start talking to me and realise that I am actually alot older than they thought.

Most of my friends are a bit older than me & my DP is 35. So I am always around people few years older socially.

I am sick of people looking at me like who is she. She is so young. And all of the comments that come with it.

Once I speak people respect me and realise I mean business. But sometime it is really hard walking into business meetings etc. And people treating you like the intern.

Only to get the oh so patronising comments like ahhh you will be so grateful by time you are in your 50s, what face cream do you use etc etc.

AIBU to want to scream at them I am a very confident self assured 28 year old with a mortgage, long term relationship, TTC. And a very sucessful career.

AIBU to get so offended by this. Everytime it happens I just feel my mood change.

YABU not to carry ID then complain about being asked for it.

That's not what the thread is about. At all. YABU for commenting without reading.

Oh life must be sooo hard on you.

Don't worry love you will start sagging soon and look like an old bag

Have a child - they really add years on to you

I got Id'd in the local co-op when I had my 18 yr old daughter with me .

I know someone who continually says that no one would believe the age she is and everyone thinks she looks at least 10-15 years younger. She is currently OLD and showed me her profile and says this in it - that's setting yourself up for a fall I would've said! She's the same age as me and I can't quite see the minus 15 years thing in her

Embrace it I would say. At certain times in my life people have been mildly surprised I am as old as I am but not to the extent of some on here. I loved it. Now I'm just part of the old brigade

I'm one of those who looked their age when teenage/20something, but now I'm 47 I've found people frequently thinking I'm about 40. I do have good cheekbones, but I also think being fat, thus filling out the face, might also play it's part.

Will be interesting to see what I look like when I get the excess weight off.

The only time I can recall being ID'd was at the tattooists when I was 43, but they ID'd everyone as they took the law seriously.

That used to happen to me a lot. Don't worry, it's all downhill from 33. Something to look forward to, hey?
