Which first impression stereotype do you get most often from others?

Question

When seeing you for the first time, what do strangers usually assume about you? Positive things, negative things, neutral things or different things each time, or no assumptions at all?

I'm short, quite unattractive looking (ugly), overweight, dark-skinned, etc. So you can assume what I always get from everyone about first impressions, and it's not Option A.

Inspired by @Sonorous 's question here.

B and there there is no doubt about it. Some would be amazed how many times I have heard people commenting that they need to avoid me or parents quickly hold their kids closer. But since I'm not a people person and don't really want to interact with people I don't know its a benefit.

I can't read people's minds, so the hell if I know.

But I would like to think that the first impression of me is either: Shy or Intelligent.

Though then again, maybe that's just my pride talking. I could be a total idiot to someone else?

People I don’t know think I’m quiet and lack social skills. In real life I need to actually know you before I open up, and then you’ll never get me to shut up.

women especially assume one thing about me at first. I dont think most like that I'm a teddy bear and not a lion around them. My competitive nature only comes out around other men, not women.

It differs. Some have said I'm cold. Some have said nice. Some have said mean. It also depends where I come across them, what mood I'm in, who I'm surround by sometimes.

People probably think I'm rude and arrogant because I appear too serious and don't engage in small talk.

People only ever assume I'm arrogant and mean (because I'm too shy to talk to people) or they assume I'm a starving little baby because I'm African.
