What about you is commonly misunderstood by people?
I'm a quiet person, so a lot of people assume that I am one of several things:
1) I am a snob
2) I'm angry
3) I'm disinterested
4) I'm stupid
None of those things are ever usually the case. Typically if I am quiet, it's simply because I have nothing to say. I'm not someone to talk just to hear my own voice. I like to think out things carefully before I say anything.
Often I want to say something in a conversation, but I am just not sure how to butt in and change the topic mid-conversation (plus isn't that rude?). A lot of times my friends will talk about people they know, but I don't know those people. So I can't really be involved in a conversation.
It sucks, but just because I come from a small town or went to high school with those people doesn't mean I know them. Plus I'm 27, high school was several years ago, people change. I lost touch with some people and I really don't want to talk about people whom I barely know anymore.
I guess one thing is that people change. I am not the same person I used to be and the things I value and like are always changing. I am currently being stalked by this Jewish guy who hates me over controversial religious and political statements that I made online 5 years ago. I've changed a lot since then but he has no clue that I've changed and is still trying to "punish" me for having offensive points of view.
I look really young and innocent. People almost always assume I'm naive and fragile lol. I'm never sure whether to be insulted or flattered whenever people are shocked that I have actual thoughts running through my head lol. I honestly can't tell if their expectations of me are really low or if I'm actually that impressive.
I'm introverted with autism so people find me weird in general.
I am built to fit in an American football group so I am dangerous.
then I like to keep my hair short and wear bananas or balaclavas, which today almost got my forehead bashed in because, "Nazi".
I have a resting bastard face so I'm also angry all the time.
I can be critical of everything, so obviously I'm just a troll.
Very few people even dare to look deeper.
They think I'm a heartless cold blooded idiot, because of my passion and reliance on facts for proving someone wrong or getting s revenge for something for example, when I'm actually a very caring person who had not had the luxury of growing up in a loving family where all the worries were on the parents' shoulders. They get surprised when I open my heart and share a little something about my life...

I'm very candid and take the piss which can sometimes be taken the wrong way. Some people take it the wrong way and misunderstand. It always comes from a place of humour or a place of truth. People also mistake me for being confident. I'm totally not. But I dont mind them mistaking that.
I always speak my mind and some take that as being rude. I don't think I'm a rude person, i just don't always say what they want to hear... I'm talking about my real life by the way , not this site lol.
I am kind of shy and people think i'm just a bitch lol and when I get to know someone I joke around a lot and tend to be very sarcastic. A lot of people don't pick up on sarcasm very well :(
My sense of humor. I'll tell a joke with a straight face and most people will think that I'm serious.
That I'm a lot more empathetic in person to people than I appear from the look on my face, or on this board-and there are personal reasons why.
That I'm busy or wouldn't be interested in socializing. Yeah I'm pretty introverted, but I like to talk to people too and get out of the house.
That while I can act silly and immature some of the time I'm very smart, mature, and even have philosophical thoughts and political debates at a high level. I enjoy messing around and having fun but I'm smart god dam it
That I'm stuck up, snobby and take myself too seriously. I'm actually goofy, down to earth and I always make fun of myself
my quietness
people often mistake it for being rude/snobby or being a doormat
I don't know.. Sometimes i have a resting bitch face and they think I am an arrogant bitch.
People always underestimate me. It is a good strength and an annoying weakness.
they think i'm stuck up because i'm very serious and quiet at first
I don't have a boyfriend (by choice) and because I'm usually very nice and smile a lot people think I'm flirting. But I'm really just being nice.
They mistake my guardedness for being stuck up.
They think I'm a thug.
That I am a happy person, lol
My intelligence honestly.
That I'm happy go lucky, I'm not,
Everything.
