What wrong assumptions do people frequently make of you?

People often think I'm stuck up because I'm quiet.

To a large degree. There are no alternative facts. Those are just buzz words attempting to justify racism or sexism or nationalism---- !

Hey lady! What's really?

1

I worship Mr Scratch being that I'm a non-believer.

2

People assume that if I'm not smiling I'm in a bad mood.

1

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!!

Some people think that I'm indifferent because I doubt the core of my Christian upbringing. That I'm an Atheist but they don't understand and don't want to understand that I'm only Agnostic.

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.

Most people are afraid of me because I have a natural grimace face.
I also stare alot so most females get nervous around me.

5

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 )

After a good think, I haven't a clue.

2

I have no idea what assumptions people have about me, becuase they don't tell me, so how am l supposed to know?

3

That I am always angry and scary when in fact if we are friends, I will always stand right next to you if need be.

3

That I'm unfriendly because of my grouchy-looking neutral face, mainly.

4

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.

1

That I am unintelligent, not to be taken seriously, and into very casual sex.

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.

The best one was that my faith was very important to me!!!!! I can only think I either have a doppleganger or I stepped into a parrallel universe at some point. Either way I did, politely, correct her on this matter 🙂

1

People think I'm mean and unapproachable because of the way I look.

2

The good old boys around here usually think I share their political views. It can get dicey when they find out I don't.

1

They think I used to play basketball. I hate basketball.
