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 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.
