She legitimately said "he seemed well adjusted." After telling me he looked a lot like me 15 years ago.

I'm guessing I'm more well adjusted than I used to be? Or than my looks used to imply?

Pretty good overall though, so no worries.

TBH if people aren't more well adjusted than they were at any point in their past I'd be mildly to greatly disappointed.

Kinda sounds like an indirect compliment for you? Like; looks like you from 15 years ago - - > seems well adjusted.

Could also be a slight against the you from 15 years ago though.

Looks like you from 15 years ago - - > but he seems well adjusted.

Yeah I don't know OP's life, but if anyone ever said that to me I would interpret it the second way.

Honestly my first thought, but tone of voice doesn't really carry over with text so she might be joking.

Should've followed it with jk 1/2, that would've cleared things up entirely

Interpreting it like that requires some self-confidence.
