I’m always the youngest one out of every engineer in the company. I don’t know, it feels weird. I’m partially proud of myself, but I don’t know what to think of it. I look way older thanks to my genetic hemoglobin shortage aka anemia, so that helps. I never tell my real age to other colleagues, haha.

Anyways, don’t know what I wanted to tell with this random “rant”, but I guess that’s that.

If anyone relates to this, let’s talk.

    I look young (and I still am, kinda - late 20s) and that comes with its own issues.. so while I may not be the youngest, I might still look like it.

    I am often the youngest too, but people estimate my age as even younger. And I tell them "look buddy, I've never smoked and I rarely ever drink, never said no to sleep nor to what comes before. That's why. "
    And then they UNDERSTAND. 😂

    @yehaaw I've been long enough at my current workplace for it not to be an issue, but outside work I'd sometimes be belittled or not taken seriously. My solution for not looking like 14 is to not shave fully clean, though I can't really grow a proper beard neither.

    I am quite small so people assume i am much younger than i am. Someone asked my 20 years old sister yesterday if i was her friend and someone at the hospital called my cousin who is the same age as me my mother.
    In uni i was the youngest in class so i lied the whole time about my age by adding another year and i was still the youngest.
    Glad i am not the youngest engineer at my new job now tho but probably the smallest physically.
