What assumptions do people make about you?

[reecejackox]

That I'm shy and quiet.

 

[slo]

They assume that I’m very conservative, and then they get to know me

 

[BlueStarryHat]

That I can't fend for myself. Not true. Well, mostly not true.

 

[prairie_girl]

That I'm lazy and unhealthy.

 

[fla4fun]

That I'm lazy and unhealthy.

Ditto.

 

[NannyBeBe]

That I'm senile just because I am a senior citizen.

 

[LuvOrlando]

That I am a complete dingbat because I'm very giggly, playful & approachable. All people ALWAYS underestimate me 100% of the time.

 

[mi*vida*loca]

That I automatically dislike them and I’m unapproachable. I’m just very quiet when I meet people. I need to feel your vibe and what you’re about before I feel comfortable around people.

 

[disneychrista]

That I am normal.

 

[low-key]

that I dont get my feelings hurt

 

[bennifer]

That I am a complete dingbat because I'm very giggly, playful & approachable. All people ALWAYS underestimate me 100% of the time.

Same!

 

[DLgal]

That I am MUCH younger than I am.

 

[fly girl]

Apparently that I am an idiot. People feel the need to inform me that I am short quite a lot. Like this is breaking news to me. Guess what . . . I KNOW!

So, I have become quite obnoxious in my reply. I snidely act surprised to this announcement, and say, "What! I am? I never knew!" That gets them to realize hey genius, you just stated the obvious.

 

[apirateslifeforme]

That I eat too much/eat the wrong things, that I don't exercise, and that I'm on FB all day.

 

[dez1978]

I’ve been told more than once that when they first met me at work they thought I was a “witch” bc I was quiet and apparently have Resting witch face Then after a few months most of the time we became friends, or at least work friends. I’ve been burned one too many times and am pretty outspoken so I usually don’t talk much until I’ve gotten to know ppl a little better.

 

[crazelion]

I am mean, loud, crazy. I just opposite happy, go lucky that don't care what you think of me. LOL

 

[808blessing]

That I'm toxic positivity. I've actually survived and healed/healing from trauma, seen some pretty amazing things come together, can think of new solutions/ideas and brave/crazy/willing to try so I sometimes find myself holding the candle in the dark room. I also tend to overlook negative traits and look for what I can work with to move forward.

 

[disneygirlsng]

That I am MUCH younger than I am.

Same for me. I still get asked what high school I go to even though I graduated over 10 years ago. People's minds are always blown.

 

[BrianL]

That I am normal.

I'd say this for me too. People generally assume that I think like they do and do the things that they do - but in many cases that is not accurate.

 

[ronandannette]

That my life has been easier/simpler/always-happier than it actually has.
