What's an assumption people make about you, based on your physical appearance, that is completely false?

[EveryDayIsPretzelDay]

[Veronika_p]

People often assume I'm the outgoing, life-of-the-party type when they first meet me, but I'm not

[EveryDayIsPretzelDay]

@Veronika_p Why would they assume that?

[MissSunshine2]

That I’m a bimbo, because of my bubbly nature, big eyes and curvy body.

[EveryDayIsPretzelDay]

@MissSunshine2 Does that offend you?

[MissSunshine2]

Not much. I’m used to it.

[EveryDayIsPretzelDay]

@MissSunshine2 Just out of curiosity, how "curvy" are you?

[OlderAndWiser]

Most people who don't know me guess that I am around 60 years old.

People always assume a lot of things that aren’t actually true , and sadly that’s how people are. Me personally doesn’t really care about what other people think or say about me behind my back because there is nothing I can do about it , I just live my life the best way that I can and try to live happy and at peace. So unless it’s said ti my face , I don’t really care what people say about me. I just like surrounding myself with positive people that are happy and kind and respectful that treat me the same way I treat them. When someone tells me so and so said this about you? I just shake my head and say they can assume whatever they want about me , because it isn’t true and they don’t have the balls to say it to my face , but if it is true? I will own up to it and realize I am not a perfect person and I make mistakes , like everyone else does , because no one on this planet is perfect. So if they choose not to like me and choose to talk shit on me , so be it. I don’t waste my time with negative people , in most cases , they are the ones that have problems , because if someone can waste their time and energy on talking shit about you and being disrespectful about you , they are more than likely jealous of you and insecure about themselves. Unfortunately we live in a world filled with judgmental people , that think their shit doesn’t stink , and I can honestly say I am not really a judgmental person whatsoever, which a lot of people tend to like about me and compliment me about , I also receive compliments that I am very charismatic which people like about me. I just try to live my life as happy as I can , and I like being around people that think the same way. I try not to dwell on negativity that much , but unfortunately there is a lot of negativity around us and even though there is so much of it around us , Me personally thinks this world was a much better place before social media brainwashed a lot of people into thinking negative things all the time , back in the day we didn’t waste a lot of time playing on the internet and being glued to our phones , people actually respected each other more and talked to each other more in person instead of over a screen. So if I could go back to that time , I would in a second , I feel technology is just going to make people drift further from each other more and more so the government can control us more and more and make us all think we are safer that way and so far it seems like it’s how it’s going. That’s just how I am seeing things. Because if you really think about it , we as humans aren’t very intelligent people , we just do what we have to do to survive and reach for happiness and love any which way we can , because otherwise we really don’t have shit. Most of this world is based off of power and greed and status instead of realizing we are all human beings that pretty much eat and shit the same , if we were wise , we would all work together and be on the same page so we all could live a much better life , but sadly people don’t think that way , they just want and want and expect to be catered to. I been a hard worker most of my life and unfortunately I found out the hard way that it doesn’t really mean shit , especially by all the nonsense I been dealing with for the past few years with jobs that don’t really give a fuck about you , that will can you whenever it’s convenient for them. Now I am struggling to land another decent paying job before I lose everything that I worked my ass off for , I am even trying to start my own business so I can be my own boss , but of course I need money to do so. Now I have a criminal record on my background that I received from my ex that started shit with me while I was sleeping and of course I got arrested for it and now I am mandated by the court to take classes , once the classes are completed then my record will be cleared , so I am fucked until then , I am looking for under the table jobs so I can still collect unemployment and keep my head above water because decent paying jobs won’t hire me because of my record. But I am still thinking positive even though it’s been hard to do lately

[Masie]

Hard to say because people generally don't express those thoughts. Based on interactions, I would say that people thing I'm not strong.

I am fairly petite but can pull my own weight so to speak.

[EveryDayIsPretzelDay]

@Masie Strong is good.

[drummerdude25]

At this point, I have no idea. People think I look young, people think I look old… It’s amazing what a hat and some facial hair does for my appearance. Depends on the day or situation, I guess.

People ask if I’m married and are shocked when I tell them no, but then other people treat me like a child…

People are weird man... 😆 or maybe I’M the weird one.

[andreasderjuengere]

When I'm fully focused, I look "annoyed". Others said so.
One other misconception: I can be pushed around because I am not tall.
Otherwise, my 'appearance' indicates clearly enough what to assume about me.
Not that I care much though.

[InknKink]

I've been told by people I give off a mean and unapproachable vibes. No one can really explain to me why and I don't really understand it myself. I'm rather easy going and I don't often have issues with others; in person that is, online you can all get fucked. lol

[fonduegirl]

You are funny I will give you that

[OneViewpoint]

Well there is an assumption that many people make about me based on my appearance combined with my demeanor but they are right. So it doesn't really fit your criteria of a false assumption. Basically I scare the crap out of people because I'm large, silent, and not very quick to engage with other people.

[SaoirseS]

That I have to stand on my tiptoes in the shallow end of the pool to keep from drowning.

[exitseven]

people are afraid of me. They think I will beat them up.

[AviatorTom]

@exitseven That's not necessarily a bad thing

[Zack-Bann]

I get quite a few different ones depending on who’s taking a look honestly.


Some flattering.


Some falsely assuming I’m a terrorist.

[Staximus]

A terrorist? You look like Yanni for fuck’s sake

[Zack-Bann]

Hahahahaha that’s a first.
I’ve gotten it all to be fair.
Italian, Spanish, Argentinian, even eastern Russian at one point when I had buzz cut.
Now I can add Greek

[TsundereMatrix]

That I’m dumb because I’m blonde and I struggled in school.


With the right training/teaching I actually do well at things.

[Agape93]

@TsundereMatrix Intelligence doesn't mean one always excels in school. My girl never even got past 9th grade. But now she has a GED and a masters degree, and she's smarter than I am.

[TsundereMatrix]

@Agape93 that’s true. I dropped out of math classes after 9th grade because they were too difficult for me. I never really needed them to get a job. But the kids at my school believed in stereotypes unfortunately.

[Agape93]

Not surprised. I suck at math but I aced AP chemistry

[valentina4eva]

usually people judge me by assuming i’m not smart or that i’m not a hard worker!!😲 or that I’m a b**** 😲🙃

[Finchie40]

Well you are definitely not a bitch and people that say shit like that to you are the ones with problems and are jealous of you and insecure about themselves , so just ignore them , that’s the best thing for you to do and surround yourself with people that do accept you for you and ignore the ones that don’t. I do the same shit , because not everyone is going to dislike you and not everyone is going to like you either , so only focus on the ones that do like you , life is too short to dwell on negative people , be around people that make you smile as much as possible 😊

[Still-alive]

I wouldn’t assume any of those things but i would be surprised to learn you were into the sciences :D

[valentina4eva]

@Finchie40 tyyy!!😊 yess i do try my best to only surround myself with positive ppl💯 very wise words!!🫶🏻

[valentina4eva]

@Still-alive hmm what would u have guessed?🤓😅

[Still-alive]

Maybe like fashion or cosmetics lol

[valentina4eva]

ohh truuu!!💯 those were my backup plans if i didn’t stick with biology lol😅
💃🏻💄💅

[Still-alive]

Lol nailed it! :p

[jennifer_bloom]

Some people believe I am antisocial and have difficulty with English because I look very traditional and conservative.

[AviatorTom]

Some of the women I dated after my divorce looked at my hands and feet and thought I was huge. I'm about average. That was okay with them though, once they realized the truth. 😎

[fonduegirl]

That I am shy.

I can be quite reserved, yes, but I also am outspoken and take shit from nobody.

Its the glasses ig

[najekim]

With my build, which has softened quite a bit over the centuries, a lot of folks where I work thought I was a professional wrestler when I was younger and felt intimidated around me.

[Tomislav7]

I've been called a fatass lately. But Im like 6ft 6'1 and 156 pounds. Every other judgement people have of me is accurate. "faqqot, pussy, bitch, queer, homo, bum, loser, tryhard" usually the same few expressions

[QuineJessica]

Because of my baby face, everyone thinks I'm innocent and very good lol

But my character is actually multifaceted and pretty complex

[Marissa4]

That I’m easy. When I’m not. Especially when it matters. I’ll flirt but not going further.

[TonyMetal___86]

They think that i'm weird or a serial killer or a slasher like jason voorhees or victor crowley 🤣🤣

[CherryLove007]

That I am a dumb woman. Ofc women get this until the grave.

[lightbulb27]

I'm younger than I look.

[ThisSiteSux]

That I wouldn't kill them for no reason at all. Because I would

[FreyaRed]

Sexworker 🤬

[EveryDayIsPretzelDay]

@freyared Why would they assume that?

[FreyaRed]

When you get on dating sites lot of questions "how much?" it's not really difficult to figure out what they think about you.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

That's the one chick who is conservative

[Just_Ken]

That im racist and sexist.

[Plugs]

Damn Is that you? Amazing face card

[EveryDayIsPretzelDay]

@Plugs It's not me.

[beenherebefore]

People assume I'm super serious.
