What is something that strangers often incorrectly assume about you?

Question

19magic · Accepted Answer

I've been told I'm too happy go lucky to know the real side of life, and that I seem like a happy cloud.

And when I eventually got closer to that person and said that I didn't have a mother (or a good one anyway), and my blood related grandad is a recognised pedo who's done jail time, and that I have memories of him watching various videos at 6 years of age, while getting off to it. They looked at me in absolute shock and said I've been through way worse than them, why do I have such a positive outlook to life and a spongy personality.

The only problem is it's been years and I still don't know what having a spongy personality means. 🤷‍♀️

I have it all together... but it doesn't always match internally and in life circumstances.
time spent on talent... but haven't made much time to develop nor use it unfortunately

Because of makeup, hair, and the way I dress - people easily think:
I am super girly... but I also have a thrilling side
party/bad girl... but I actually only occasionally drink and much prefer museums/live concerts/coffeeshops etc.
innocent... but I have another side
very friendly... but I am also assertive and hold boundaries
etc. It truly takes time to really get to know someone genuinely rather than solely by some words they express and how they look.

Liberals assume that I'm conservative and conservatives assume that I am liberal.
That's because I have my own opinions on individual issues and don't agree with either side on every single thing. I'm not a sheeple or a partisan ideologue.

They assume that I don't have any chronic pain. Maybe for good reason though because most people don't.

Wallythewalrus2 · Answer

That I don't have the ability to be serious. I kid around a lot, to the point people can find it annoying, so, when I actually engage in a serious conversation, people will always say, "wow, I didn't think you could actually be serious! You're actually very intelligent and sexy too! You have everything anyone could possibly want".

Yannae · Answer

That I don't like them because I'm an introvert and love being on my own and they are more extroverted.

Another is that they think I am not stressed when we are all in the same stressful situation. I just don't voice it and keep it down because I see no point in sharing that, I just want to solve the problem.

I had a guy today, (average looking maybe 40 years old) , "thank me for my service" as I walked past. I'm not in the military nor have I ever been, so I can't figure out why. Maybe something about my demeanor, I try to dress well but other than that?
