I’m 29 but I get told I look 18-19. And the people who tell me this regularly see a lot of people on the daily, from police officers to nurses to salon workers. When I tell them my actual age they literally gasp or laugh at me. The older I get, the more pronounced their reaction is. Doctors were saying “you definitely have something wrong, I can tell just by looking at you” but then the hormonal results all came back normal and they just shrugged. Another weird thing is anti-loitering devices hurt my ears, and those aren’t supposed to affect people older than 20.

    That assumes that your hearing is damaged at the average rate. Don’t blast your music or TV and wear hearing protection when using a lawnmower or other loud device and you can keep hearing those high pitched sounds into your thirties.
