My issue was passing for a broad range of ages when I was in my late-mid. to late teens. Most people definitely thought I looked at least somewhat older than I was but there was a time when I was 18 where certain people insisted I only looked 15/16 but like I said I had a beard and moustache so I really didn’t look that young. You might look young in the face alone if you have small-looking deep-set eyes (I have that and it was worse in my teens) but the rest of your body is a more accurate and consistent clue. That’s why I looked 25 to some people and barely 16 to other people when I was 18. As you can imagine I used to hate it when that demoralising minority insisted I only looked 80% of my age.
