I&#x27;d love to say it&#x27;s not sage advice, but it is. Unfortunately, once people know your age they will – consciously or subconsciously – treat you differently. I rather quickly opted to never disclosing my age in any context, unless it is absolutely necessary (it almost never is.) It&#x27;s just easier that way, leads to less discrimination. Unlike skin color or other highly visual traits, it&#x27;s one aspect of your person you <i>can</i> hide without any significantly negative consequence.
