Do people underestimate you?

[bigpauly]

[NathanDavis]

not usually no... even less if they know me some or know me well

but yes, there has been people who have done it before because well, they don't know better and we all make assumptions sometimes and somehow

unfortunately, some of them found out the bad (or the very bad) way... lol

it all depends on the specific situation... and the context of it, I have actually underestimated myself or just didn't consider someone or something to be more than I initially thought it could be, or that they could be

[bigpauly]

What’s the bad way? 👀

[NathanDavis]

well, some dummies have mistaken me "being nice" and chill attitude with weakness...

and my endless patience and tolerance mistaken with me being a "push over" lol

and they also think that going to a gym for years and years, get all buff and have big muscles somehow is going to work for them better than me having trained liver punches and kicks to the liver for at least 20 years

I don't like to fight, I hate to fight people and I do walk away from confrontation all the time, I talk my way out of fights, even if I "sound like a coward" lol but... if you take it on my girlfriend and say shit to her in front of me that's a very different situation lol

I don't stand for any of that

[Pot8o]

No but they did when I was younger. We underestimate kids way too much.

[bigpauly]

Completely agreed

[Sirenboobzilla]

All the time, especially on here. I'm a tall skinny blonde with big boobs and tattoos. To anyone looking, I look like a random bimbo. The moment they get any inkling about my sex life, they think I'm easy and just another lay.

Oh do I love knocking them off whatever pedestal they think they're on. Hard to do on here; I'm not good at exhibiting my strengths on here all that much.

[bigpauly]

There’s no winning any arguments or anything along those lines here anyway, lol. The haters are just trolls or people trying to make themselves feel better by bringing others down

[bubblegunnn]

Ima tell u..
First semester on a collage, my friends did underestimate me.. it because im from overseas and they think im dumb or lack of skill or sum.. but at the end of semester on college (year 4) im number two student who finished my research on my major and graduated first than them.. graduated on time

[bubblegunnn]

While few of them graduated 1-2 years after me.. and went to me, ask me to teach few of them about research

[bigpauly]

That’s great, congrats

[bubblegunnn]

Yeah thank you..

[letuswaltzforthedead]

Yeah, sometimes it's deserved though lol. Other times, people just want to cast judgements on the most basic details (oh, you're a millennial? Stop spending on avocado toast)

[bigpauly]

Definitely agree

[Emiliamazing]

Depends on the situation. For those that know me, they know my strengths and my weaknesses. For those who have never met me before, I’m sure they have some preconceived thoughts.

[bigpauly]

I pitty the fool who underestimated you

[Emiliamazing]

Underestimated is a strong word, but I think it’s inherent to human nature to have a preconceived idea about someone at first glance.

[bigpauly]

True

[A_Bell]

I generally come across as a silly goofball, but surprise people when I exceed their expectations.

[menina]

They often do it. They usually think I'm dumb or that I don't know that they're trying to trick me.

[AsaKyo]

No, I underestimate myself
Other people always believe I'm capable of doing more than I think I can

[Subarugirl]

All the time, and primarily by men, mainly just because I am a woman.

[Sirenboobzilla]

How dare you and your uterus want to be treated fairly!

[Subarugirl]

@Sirenboobzilla It has nothing to do with being treated fairly and everything to do with ingrained misogyny

[LavLavLuv]

i get confused if someone doesn't underestimate me

[dustybiker]

That’s my aim. I hide my talents well.

[bigpauly]

Sneaky sneaky

[dustybiker]

@bigpauly 😎

[Topaz1979]

I have been underestimated before.

[Topaz1979]

[bigpauly]
