Am I the only one who feels like puberty must have skipped over me?

I'm 4'10 with a baby face. Everyone always was like "Oh you'll grow- oh your baby weight will disappear once you're older" People still tell me that. I'm in my mid twenties. My growth plates are closed and even when I was sick and underweight my face was still chubbier then the rest of my body just slightly sunken in. Hell, when I interned at a middle school the students in the class thought I was a new student... Even the office staff at first kept thinking I was a late student and I even got lectured by some woman before she saw my student ID badge for college... I've gotten pulled over by the cops before because they thought I was a kid on a joyride... All the guys I've dated since becoming an adult have asked for my ID to make sure I'm not underage... Like what is this puberty you speak of and how come it didn't happen to me? 😭😂
No, but seriously. Is anyone else feeling the same way about how they look because I don't know many people who have this same issue so it's nice to meet others who do.

I know someone, probably shorter than you. Can only get clothes and shoes in children sizes. Her face looks old though if you look closely.
And she is engaged to this 6'1 guy....they look really odd together.

@SW-User Ah. I can't fit in adult sizes either. Even an extra small in women sizes is way too big. I wish my face looked older though.
My boyfriend is a foot taller than me so we probably look odd together too.

@NaturallyPeculiar Aww. But that's alright. It's a cute odd.

@SW-User Yeah. Size gaps are odd but cute.

I'm told I look 10 years younger than my actual age. But I used to look much, MUCH younger than my age. One time, I went into a liquor store to buy a bottle, and the clerk questioned if I were old enough to buy. He studied my license for a long time before he believed I was over 21. I was 46 at the time.

I used to work with someone who must have looked something like you. Just be yourself and let the world deal with it. The person I worked with was a good friend and she's had a fine professional career. Being 4-10 or so didn't hold her back that I could see.

I'm in the same boat if I don't grow out my facial hair

NaturallyPeculiar · 26-30, F

@UndercoverBard Ah. You're lucky. Guys with baby faces look manly/older with facial hair. My brother has a baby face too but with his beard he looks much older than his actual age but if he shaves it he looks like a teenager lol

@NaturallyPeculiar hah same here

I'm sure you're perfect just the way you are. You'll be glad you look so young when you're old!

But baby faced is cute. I like rounder faces. I prefer them to what I call shovel face: Those people that have really sharp angles to their face.

NaturallyPeculiar · 26-30, F

@canusernamebemyusername Shovel face 😂 Can I use that from now on?

Perfect height for a beer shelf.. 👌

NaturallyPeculiar · 26-30, F

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout People use me as a beer shelf a lot... or an arm rest lol

TheOneyouwerewarnedabout · 41-45, MVIP

Lolz.. at least you’re a good sport 👌😁

NaturallyPeculiar · 26-30, F

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout I mean might as well be since I can't do anything aboit it. The only thing I'm not a good sport is when tall people get on their knees so they can be the "same" height as me. I take that as them wanting a punch to the face lol.
