I still look like a teenager to some people, even though I'm in my thirties now.

Not drinking alcohol and not smoking anything does wonders for your looks.

How dare you. It's the Gin that keeps me looking dashing! The cigs enhance my natural musk!

Sometimes it’s just luck. I smoke weed and refuse to sleep normally and I still get carded for energy drinks (16+) at 33

No kids though… I don’t know how anyone can look young with kids.

I still use a picture of myself that was taken in my late teen years whenever I need to upload a picture for some sort of ID or profile picture.

That picture is maybe around 10 years old at this point.

For some reason Millennials look comparatively young and Zoomers look comparatively old. When you combine that into people's perception it's easy for an outlier to break through.

I've seen some discussion hypothesizing an explanation that Millennials actually use more sunscreen, use less nicotine, and exercise more than Gen Z. I can buy it.

I need SPF 100 for that 1 day of the year total I spend offline.

Very glad I'm not a teenager any more. It sucked.

There were advantages, like not aching all the time, not being tied down by one thing or another or having more free time. But generally, yeah, it sucked. No money, no confidence, no clue, no direction, no skill, etc...

No money, no confidence, no clue, no direction, no skill, etc...

Shit, I graduated 20 years ago and I still don't have any of that.

That means you're actually still a teenager. Which isn't really a problem until you go on a date with someone.

I'm still going to bitch about it online as if it's about me. Like I give a fuck.

I have to remind myself that just because I still work at the Krusty Krab that doesn't mean I'm still a teenager.
