People often think I'm stuck up because I'm quiet.
I worship Mr Scratch being that I'm a non-believer.
People assume that if I'm not smiling I'm in a bad mood.
Just because I am 6 ft. 2 in. tall and 265 pounds, people assume I can pick up any heavy object no matter of weight. Maybe in my younger days!!
Thank you! I hate the fact that because I'm white and male with a military haircut that people assume I'm a conservative, christian, Republican. That is SOOOO. The opposite. On all 3 counts. LOL
People think I am stuck up, because I am quiet as well. They also think I am much younger than I am. I am frequently thought to be in my 20's when I am in my 40's. Then when I tell them that I have children who are in their 20's or nearly in their 20's they think I am lying or that I was very young when I had them.
They think that I am not very bright - I am fairly shy especially around strong confident people -
They think that I am a pushover and many times I am as I am one of the youngest at 70y.o. in my sheltered housing association .
I do have in fact three advanced degrees Soc psych, Fine and Applied Art, Art History and armfuls of advanced diplomas plus being the first woman plasterer in England and a Lecturer in Person Centred Counselling and a founder member of Person Centred Creative Expresive Therapy Institute in England - They don't know that I went to a free school, never did any maths and can't handle figures to save my life 'Discalculia' (and I won't be telling them any of this )
That I'm unfriendly because of my grouchy-looking neutral face, mainly.
I am quiet and uncomfortable in social situations. People mistake that for arrogant. Go figure.
This is a funny one...at least for me.
I was eating lunch at a restaurant near the school where I last taught. I was chatting on the phone with a friend when a restaurant patron approached me and said "You all Spics factory workers go back home."
I ignored him and I went back to the school to prepare things for Parents / Teachers Night. Guess who came in...with his daughter? Yes the guy who called me Spic.
IAW, many people assume I am an ignorant, person because I speak with an accent.
The guy...after the conference....said to me "I will never judge another person. " I reminded silent.
Being blonde people don't realize I am intelligent.
That I am a Bigger Asshole than I really am. Those who don't think I am one, I may one day prove them wrong. I am a very Simple, Complicated Man without a Master or Mistress and that much Freedom leads to a lot of Misinterpretation.
People think I'm mean and unapproachable because of the way I look.
