older then my sister


Question Posted Sunday January 21 2007, 1:39 am

I am over 2 years older then my sister but everybody seems to think she is older than me! It bugs me so much (she has bigger boobs then me, but I am happy with my boob size)but I am not sure what other reasons people think this. I take care of myself really well (I dress nicely, do my makeup nicely, take good care of my hair, etc.) yet for some reason I look younger then my younger sister & I want to look older!! What can I do to make myself appear to be older, like I really am? And please don't say anything about it being good that I look younger, all I want to know is why they think she looks older & WHAT I CAN DO TO MAKE MYSELF LOOK OLDER THEN HER! Thank you!

Hey. Well just act mature and ignore it. You know that you're older and if you just be yourself you will feel good about yourself. They may even realize you're older if you act this way. Blow it off or say something like "hopefully I'll be glad about this when I'm older" and smile. People may not be able to see in appearence that you're older but they'll definitely be able to tell when they see your manerisms. I really hope this helped and good luck! =)

act like it doesn't bother you when people mistake you for the younger sister. and try and be mature. -not saying that you aren't-

tips:
1. You can still wear those brightly colored clothing but look at the fit and the style of it. If your style is more funky or wild though, wear sophisticated things, and wear a piece that is a little more funny or wild, for example, big sunglasses, kitten heels, crazy tie, etc.
2. Wear more tailored clothing, more put together.
3. Avoid crazy hair colors like pink and blue. Try more natural colors if you're the type who likes colored hair. The crazier colors make you look more immature and kid-like.
4. When meeting new people shake their hand. A solid grip, but not too hard, two pumps of the hand and let go. Don't look at your hands, look at their face. When speaking to someone, look at them.
5. Avoid interrupting people during conversation, people find this irritating.
6. Don't play with things, look away, or squirm around.
7. Listen, slightly nod, and say little things like, "Oh, yes," to let them know you are listening
8. When you speak, use facial expressions and be funny as usual, but be more serious in conversation.
9. Mature people can be helpful too. Hold doors, help pick things up, offer help and assistance when needed.
10. Use manners, but don't act too proper or people will think you are too sophisticated and inflexible or "down to earth" and won't feel comfortable around you.
11. Talk about mature things to people, work, life experiences, and life lessons you have learned, or just about how beautiful it is outside.
12. Around kids, squat down to their size when you talk to them. Don't act fake when they tell you something that is a big accomplishment to them. Say, "Awesome!" or, "Wow, good job." Kids feel good when you are truly amazed instead of fake.
