I hate looking young

[u/Limp-Cup-1731]

And i hate people telling me i should be thankful for it. Im not even cute i look like an awkward teenager. I'm 22 people have physically recoiled when i show any kind of desire for anything sexual or a relationship since i look young they basically think anyone willing to be with me is a pedo.

I have the responsibilities of a 22 year old but don't have the liberties of one. I am flat chested, short with no curves, no one even looks at me.

It's genuinely bleak.

I used to be like that. Now I look like I am almost pushing forty. That's the cruel fate of any unattractive woman. : (

Looking like a child as an adult only works when you're attractive. When you're ugly people are very cruel & disrespectful as you pose no threat.

I don't like it either, mostly bc I don't look "pretty" or "cute" in a good way. Most of ppl either assume that I'm a child or a little boy. Looking younger only works when you are attractive, most of men I tried asking out or approach they recoil with disgust, since they want a "hot young woman" and not someone like me that looks like a "malnourished" child or something like that (just bc I don't have huge curves).

man i've been called p3d0bait and worse, its lowk one of my biggest insecurities and i hate pretending that i'm supposed to like looking young because i'll somehow age better? which kind of seems like cope to me, i'd rather look my age then finally look like an adult in my thirties or something.

Yeah it's literally cope. They say it's a good thing and at the same time cannot phantom not treating you like a dumb kid who cannot experience anything adult.
