Dear MIMsters: Me Looking Like a Child Has Become a Problem for me
How do I manage this? I am 19 year old. I will be 20 this year. The problem is that I still look like a fourteen or fifteen year old kind because of my baby face and slim physique.
Imagine, I went to church last week Sunday and I was told to stay with the children at the Children’s Church. I took me explaining myself and telling them my age before they knew.
Currently, I’m in the University but I’m still being treated like a child, even by people I am way older than. A lot of people do not believe me when I tell them my age. The only time they become convinced t that I could be more mature than I look is when I open my mouth to speak. Then, they can differentiate between the thoughts of an adult from that of a child.
This is a problem for me because it is beginning to affect my self esteem. I am always very depressed because of this.
Do makeup, wear more of weavon than braided hairstyles. Wear makeup that will make you look more like your age. But in the mean time, embrace it and see it as a rare gift. Be happy the way you are.
I used to be like this too until I became older and knew it’s a good thing. I am in my late 20s but you will think I am 23. Slim people with baby face don’t age fast. Stop being depressed about it, you don’t know what you have yet.
Well said people.
Girl, enjoy the rare gift God has given you
