i can relate, and it bothered me a bit at the time but now i'm in a better space and don't really care if people perceive me like that. i'm also really short and look very young. i've had someone ask if i'm a dwarf, or if i'm "all in proportion". also someone has asked me if there's a genetic "reason" for me looking so young - as in a disorder. i take it as people just being rude and not knowing that it's idiotic to get so personal with a stranger.
