I'm constantly scrolling OTD mindlessly, and half the time not commenting or posting on anything. But I notice a lot of topics and I think for the first time I realized that most everyone is much older than me. Which I feel is a positive thing in a way, because if I'm honest many people I know IRL that are my age don't really have too much in common with me. (That sounded a bit narcissistic in a way, it wasn't meant to) But I also feel like if I tell anyone how old I actually am they'll think less of me? I remember back on the old forums I lied about my age several times because I thought people wouldn't want to talk to me, or think my opinions were really valid? Anyone else felt the same way? Got any stories? x

i don't think i've ever lied about my age online bc for the first few years i started really talking to people on forums and stuff, i was the same age as most of them, so there was no reason to lie. and that's made me pretty open about my age. tho some of my internet pals are a few years older, but it's not by much. like i'm 19 and the oldest of my close online internet pals is 23 so we're not dealing w a huge age range here

not online, no. I did use to say I was a year younger than I was when I was in pre-school, apparantly I told my mum it was because I was so small and felt bad?? idk why, I was a weird four year old.

Not on these forums, but on an old forum/chat thing I used to be on back in the day (I think I was 12-13 at the time)I used to pretend I was either an older teen/in my low 20's so I would seem more "approachable" for giving people advice and stuff. Weird to think about now considering I'm currently that age IRL and I'm certainly not any more credible at giving good advice xD

Like when people think I'm 24 sheesh guys I'm not that old

I refuse to tell anyone my age for this reason. It's fun to see how old people think I am, tho. They're usually way off. But when I was younger, I used to fake my birthdate to join different websites, including the old wcf.

When I was 4 my friends made a 'age 5 only' club, for 5 years old only. I think I told them I was 5, but they were my close friends and they knew I was 4. I felt so offended that day

when i was under 13, i'd lie about my age when signing up for websites and whatnot
and before i turned 17/18, i'd lie about my age when purchasing video games online
but i've never lied about my age in discussions

I don't lie about my age per say, but on the daily people assume I'm 10 yrs younger than I am and I just don't correct them xD

I never tell people my age on the internet. I doubt anyone knows, or can tell.

I don't lie about my age, though I have been mistaken for much younger in real life.

I mean, when I was younger, I would set my age as thirteen so I could join certain sites illegally and without parental permission, but I've always been open about my age when actually communicating with people, and now that I'm eighteen, I can basically do whatever online, so that's all behind me now.

No, at least not that I can recall. But everybody's always thought I was older than I actually am. I guess I just look/act the part?

yeah when creating accounts to places, thats about it i normally make it so my account has my age as over 18, even tho i am only 15 its not breaking the terms and conditions or anything so why not?
