Everyone thinks I'm so nice, sweet, and kind of innocent, but I don't think I'm that way at all (Not that I'm mean or anything) and I didn't know that was what people thought about me until about a year ago. I heard my voice on a message and I sounded different than what I feel I sound like. It sounded like a little girl and I'm in my 20's. If people guess at how old I look they say anywhere from 15-18. I don't know its really weird and hard to explain. Does anyone else feel that way at all?

You're not alone.
When I went to college, some of the other students started giving me a hard time and I really couldn't figure out why.
One day one of the girls asked me when I was going to leave. A rather hurtful question, Well. to make a long story short, they thought I was someone's little sister and I should have gone home with my parents. Needless to say that they were a little embarrassed when they finally realized I was 18 and a registered student at that school. They thought I was 13 or 14.
Even now I'm a mom, I have a 20 year old daughter and most people think she's my sister. I don't mind, but she sure does!!!
It may be frustrating now, but in about 29 years it"ll feel GREAT!!

Yeah, I know what you mean. When people start thinking too much of one thing about a person, it's almost like you really are morphing into what everyone else sees you as...That's why it's kind of hard for me to be a 'quiet and shy' person. A lot of people judge me as being depressed, and lonely. That's not exactly good for my self-esteem, you know? Oh well. Life goes on right? ;D

OMG don't you hate that?
My friends think that I am some sweet naive girl and my parents (Pakistani strict) think that I have forgotten my culture! When I am not naive and I have not forgotten my culture just modified it a little to fit in here. it does not help that I am 18 but look 15..

My wife is in her 40's and she sounds like my 10 yr old son on the phone.

I kind of stopped analyzing it in my early twenties. However, I can understand western females' constant evaluation of themselves as that is obviously how you become a superstar.
