What common misconceptions do you think people have about you?

Question

ohshee · Accepted Answer

I dont know what it's called. Or even how to explain it. But things happen in my life that look one way it looks like I'm this person but I'm really not. And sometimes it might take a week or so but the truth has always come out. I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
There have been times when someone special will come in to my life. Snd I have even told bosses this before . That I just want you to always remember this please. There might be a time when things happen and they are not right and is not what they seem to be. And then I say I will never lie to you. And I have always been glad when I have said it because. Every time I have said it. I must have felt it. Because then everyone is put to the test. Like I said the truth has always come out. But the bulshit that I have to go through in away is messed up. Because of the things I watch other people go through until the truth comes out. I even feel bad for the ass that has lied over something so petty. That they involve me. Just to save themselves.

Because I'm overweight and ugly, people assume:

I must be stupid.
I must be 'average' (a sheep and useless to society).
I must be a gluttonous slob who eats 15,000 calories daily.
I must be lazy or inactive (I ride a bicycle daily and do kickboxing).
I must not take care of myself.
I must have bad hygiene (which they assume of ALL overweight people).
I must smoke and drink and otherwise be unhealthy in other ways if I'm overweight.
I must have a penis that doesn't work well or function properly or otherwise be unable to use it.
I must be unable to fight or otherwise kick someone's ass.

Probably that I'm not capable of an adult or intelligent conversation based solely on my age (and, OK, I look young, too). But that's a huge misconception (and one that really makes me angry).

Another is that I'm some helpless, frail little girl. Well, OK, I'm not huge, but I'm not defenseless or frail, either. I've had some good instructions in protecting myself plus I have three brothers and four male cousins so they have also taught me some stuff.

It's hard NOT to make assumptions about people. I think we all do it (I admit I do, too). But we make those assumptions without really knowing the person very well (if at all). So, first impressions - misconception? I think they're common and I try NOT to depend on them for anything important.

There seems to be a division

Half of the people who know me have me down as a strong independent women and therefore go into a state of shock if I even consider dating someone as they think I'll never date again and that I'm happy single.

The other half of them see me as someone who is lonely and scared of the world who just gets by and needs a knight in shining armour to come and protect me.

In reality I'm someone who has my sh*t together (career, house etc) and I don't necessarily need someone but it would be nice to have someone to share my world with and some to call my own because you don't get the same sense of achievement for things when you succeed everything solo.

Andres77 · Answer

That I'm arrogant.
I'm introverted and have Asperger's.

Many people don't know what to do with me.
So I get pushed off at to the side a lot. Well, I used to be pushed off. Now I hang with other geeks that can afford swords and suits of armor and we can be bloody geeks together.

petitedollbabee · Answer

That I’m a bitch or stand-offish, but it’s because I’m an anxious introvert. When people I don’t know approach me and try to talk to me, I just blankly stare at them with meaning to 😭 and I always have no idea how to talk to them, so I end up staying silent. I feel so bad for making them uncomfortable.

KatieB713 · Answer

That I'm quiet and nice?
I have an anxious person, such, and usually quiet and keep to myself at work where I can. But in reality I can be angry and can be a little vindictive if someone actually upsets me or someone I care about.
Only 2 people in my office has seen my less polite and proper side, and that's because they have been in a car with me... I am a safe driver, but an angry one XD

DonkeyDan · Answer

People assume I'm a push over because I'm nice, truth is I can be a hard bastard if I'm pushed and I don't take any shit, some people find iut rhe hard way.

DizzyDesii · Answer

Online, They think im a hornball. I just love discussing sexual topics, but I’m not often horny when discussing them. I got better places to be than GaG if i’m horny. People in person think I’m younger than I am and so a lot of elderly people often deemed me as “fast” if they saw me hanging around guys

wheresmrcunnunglis · Answer

That I'm intimidating and not friendly, which I like because that's the vibe I want to give off, so no toxic people try and see me as an easy target and mess with me. If I want to talk, then I go out of my way to do so, and those who still insist on making contact with me despite the misconception get my undivided attention since they're keen enough to see beyond the bluff, ha!

FriendlyDrugDealer · Answer

Usually it’s that I’m someone who is offended easily. On the contrary, I’m open to constructive criticism all the time but I can also easily dissect if someone is genuinely trying to help me or someone is trying to harm me

serious · Answer

There are plenty. Not just one.

1. People tend to think I am arrogant whereas in reality what I display is intelligence only.

2. It is true I am a selfish person in my own ways but this selfishness is in good ways but people this I use this selfishness for my needs which is totally false.

There are more but these are two common misconceptions people have about me.
