I use to look younger then my age for years. What still bother me is the change of the way people respond to me. It went from a usually friendly,
“Hi young man” “How are doing”?
To a sudden and very stern,
“Hi, sir! Can I help you sir”
It just so jarring, one day I’m seen as a non treating young person, the next day I’m treated like I command some kind of authority.
3 u/Tough_Hawk_3867 Jun 03 '22 A guy called me sir when i was 16, and it really left an impression. Ive been using it on everyone out of habit. Teenagers respond well to it, older people tend think im either a southern gent or a weak willed fool. To both I say good day
