People think I am 10 years younger than my age - and it is a nice compliment but how do you feel? Do you look younger and feel younger?

I also look 10 years younger than my age. Most of the time, I don't really mind. I figure that the older I get, the more I will appreciate it. And I actually do feel younger. Sometimes I forget how old I am. Which is not bad, actually. I do believe that how you feel affects your overall health, so, sit back, enjoy it and be happy!

Yes, positive thoughts affect your health, if you think you are young and active then you will not age quickly, I have seen many people who act like old mature persons even at a very young age.

I know I feel younger I have been told I look younger than what people think I am but I am actually a little older, I think I am now living the life I should have been living years ago, I just like enjoying life and I think once you get to a certain age, anything goes , well almost... :)

I look 10yrs older than my actual age and people looking at me don’t believe that I am 34. They think that I am above 40. One of the main reasons is my hair, most of which has turned grey. Initially I used to colour my hair, but now I apply only henna, that also irregularly. I don’t bother much about my looks, its only because I go to an office that I take some care of myself. But mentally I feel 24 and it shows in my conduct. So if you actually come to meet me, after a few days, you may think that I am a bit “gone” in my head. But I am absolutely OK with my both looks and my mentality.

I still color my hair, and will continue till I work, I am sure without the hair dye, I would also look old.

Thanks, somehow I think I have given it up! Also I think colouring spoils your hair and scalp (I cant afford the very expensive ones), so I would rather end up with grey hair than a bald scalp!

What you loose in looks you gain in maturity, a mature face is often as good as any young face and has more character.

For me things are a bit different. People believe that am more than 20. At times im worried why is it so but other times i like it koz it implies that look more mature.

It is really funny that the young take 'looking older' as compliment while as you grow up you want to hear just the opposite.

People think I look a lot younger than I really am. I'm 25 and people are always surprised to hear that because they think I'm about 15 or 16.

i will be 25 this year and a lot of people get shock when learn about my age. most say i look like i'm 17-19. it is a compliment. i also feel younger but sometimes it doesn't do me good because some people don't take me seriously.

I have always looked younger and yes, now I look ten years younger, too. most days I feel ten years younger also. I definitely look younger than my mother and grand-mother looked at the same age. And I feel pretty healthy, too. This is a blessing.

Yup because I have a great sense of humor. Maybe people are correct that Laugther is the medicine of youth. This will make you look young and feel young.

People tend to think that i am younger of my real age. In the college when i work there sme student just simply call me in my name and said to me that they will not call me just like calling and older person because i am so young. I told them my age and they cannot believe it. If you take care of yourself i think that helps.
