Health and Awkward: I'm not a kid

I'm not a kid

By Babyface - 02/09/2021 20:01

Today, I've come to accept that I'll likely never be intimidating or taken seriously, because despite being 6'3" and 205 lbs, I have the face of a 12 year-old. I'm 25. FML

Today, my self-esteem hit rock bottom when I was intimidated by a 10-year-old. I'm 23. FML

Forever alone

Today, I'm 23, but my development was starved due to my overprotective parents. My peers never accepted me, even though I tried to find someone to be friends with. To this day, I've been told I come off as creepy by more women than I have fingers on my hands. I feel like a fifteen year-old walking around in a man's body. FML

Figure it out

Today, I'm a guy who's always been physically a late bloomer. In high school, I looked too young for girls to like me. At 22, I still looked 17. Now at 25, I look good but when girls find out my age, they expect me to have everything figured out by now. I never got to be young. FML

Today, I was mistaken for an 8th grader because of my height. I'm 32 years-old. FML

Today, I used to look so young for my age that in high school, I was regularly mistaken for a freshman. I never succeeded in getting dates because of it. Today, I'm 25 years-old and regularly get confused for being in my thirties. I guess all the stress from work, loneliness, and rejection really caught up. FML

Today, despite being in high school, I'm still shorter than the average 3rd grader. FML

Today, I realized that while I've been the same minuscule height for the past five years, my feet won't stop growing. I'm 5 foot and a size 12. I look like a clown. FML

Toxic

Today, I had to sit through yet another one of my mom's, "You need to grow and gain some weight!" rants. I'm 22 and she doesn't believe me when I tell her I'm done growing. I'm pretty sure I'm not getting past 5'2". FML

Today, I was at work refreshing the shelves when a man turned the corner and said, very surprised, "You look 12!" A few weeks back, two people did the same thing, only they said I looked 9. I'm almost 21 years old, and just very short. Starting to get just a little self conscious here. FML

Today, I overheard the girl I like tell her friends about me, “I like his personality a lot, it would be so sexy if he was taller. He’s adorable though.” I’m just below average height for a man. I wouldn’t even consider myself super short. I hate being 22. FML

you're also unlikely to look like an old fart at 30. and are highly likely to have a good smile.

Start by intimidating babies. Take candy from them. After you've made a few of them cry, work your way up to toddlers. They're push-overs. Then move on to pushing over elderly people.

What are you facing this 12 year old for? Lmao. As a 6 ft 156 lb guy, I will tell you a reputation can be more intimidating than looks. I train in combat sports and most people who know of me are aware of this. Try building a lifestyle that revolves around different forms of power that people will be aware of. Side note: I've encountered 12 year olds much taller than me so don't be too ashamed.

This is going to turn into an episode of "Otomen", where the hero does martial arts, works in construction during the weekend, eats only manly food and hides to study so nobody could mistake him for a nerd. Usually, all the girls still coo at him like he was a puppy, and he's still single.
