Answer 1

umm just be serious that should work.

Answer 2

Maybe you're just trying too hard.

Or maybe you have too many uninformed opinions. If you don't really know about something, try just not saying anything.

Maybe someone will actually ask your opinion. They will certainly pay attention when you respond, if you have something intelligent to say. I'm not trying to be mean. It's just sometimes if you try too hard to make an impression you do, it's just the wrong one.

Answer 3

Hi!

I have the same problem. I'm short and people think I'm really young (I'm 16). It sucks. Anyway I've been working on changing my image and I've had some good comments recently. If you want to chat I have some good tips and maybe we can help each other!

Answer 4

look  straight into their eyes and tell them that you're serious in a firm voice.
