Speed. A lot- and I mean a LOT- of people assume that being fat means you're weak. This is nonsense: if I'm half again your weight but move with the same speed and grace that you do, I'm expending more effort; if I'm doing so without straining or visible difficulty, then obviously I've got some muscle to me.
Somewhat more reasonably, they assume that being fat means you're (physically) slow. Over a sufficient distance, they're right; I can't keep up a sprint, or even a basic jog, as long as a skinnier person can. But the aforementioned muscles mean I'm VERY quick off the block; if we're starting from the same posture, you can't get away from me before I close with you if we start closer than about ten feet, unless you're a professional-level sprinter.
Luckily, this doesn't come up often, but demonstrating to people that you have speed, as well as size, does a fantastic job at intimidating them into playing nice.

Chess. They seem to think that a happy surfing musician must be intellectual stunted. Not that I'm a genius, but I have a slightly higher current ELO in chess than Alexandra Botez.

There is a lot. Especially being an athlete they assume I'm just dumb and only in college because of sports.
So when they see how educated i am, they are usually surprised.
Hby?

  People are surprised that I like to read. They seem to think that being dyslexic would make reading an entire book impossible for me. I'm 25... Is it that hard to believe that I have figured out how to be a capable reader by now? Lol

  Ideky people think someone isn't smart enough to figure things like that out.
  Like my pops is colorblind.

  So when he figured out if it looks blue it's purple they confused how he can tell

I'm actually good at being good. People around me in real life think I'm so naughty, but I can be so serious at times when I set my mind to it.
