yeah :/ also that people think i'm like really smart because i know .. some stuff? yeah i have very narrow interests and if i like stuff i put some effort like i'm not a universal genius or pro thinker i just tend to be.. idk straight about stuff..
Well I can't think of too many (I'm mostly the forgotten one).
1. That I haven't had sex/lost my virginity. I have.
2. That I'm dumb. Sure, I have trouble conveying articulate thoughts, but in my writing I'm one of the smartest people you'll ever meet. Another reason I have this misconception is because I suck ass at exams.
3. That I'm familiar with computers and technology in general. I know some stuff and studied IST for a bit, but otherwise I'm not very good with technology.
Yeah, that's all I can think of at the moment.

I'm Mexican. Oh lord, I legitimately haven't met a single person other than relatives that has mistaken me for a Mexican. I mean, I guess it's because of my skin and last name, but is it really that confusing? I scream Philipino everywhere I go.
Yeah I've also had sex. Like I don't go brag about it or stuff but in general when people think I'm like 12 and know nothing about it lol :/
Yeah, I kinda suck at formulating myself sometimes in speech and/or unintentionally comes off as rude (I always have to like explain why I do bc of my asperger/asd, it hinders my speech sometimes and I come off weird lol) and I'm way much better at writing down stuff like feels and whatnot (also better in English too because I use it way more than Swedish, and Swedish is my native language hah).
And your number 3 as well as I mentioned in my first post... I mean if you need help with simple button combinations sure I can do that or help you google simple stuff but I have no coding/os/whatever advanced skills so.. call a pro.. please?

everyone thinks im a girl- even if i present very masculine
everyone thinks im a girl online too :^)
usually people think im somewhat ditzy, i get the feeling atleast
that im either younger or older than i actually am- some people think im 18 and others think im 10 .-.
((online only- because i have a soft baby face irl and im very very short so im 99% of the time perceived as a 10 year old boy or a 13 year old girl))
people call me shy a lot, but im honestly really frickin loud and obnoxious so......? ok
and lastly, people seem to think im a sweetheart or that im delicate bc im very small
some of these are *probably* not what the thread is about but ah well its 4 am again and im sleepy

People think I'm studious because I'm Asian and get all A's, but I'm really lazy and procrastinate. I just have a good memory and pay attention in class. I don't go out of my way to study.
That my stomach is like the worst one ever, just because I can't eat a lot and don't poop a lot either. Cut me a break, I don't have a large stomach and I can't eat a lot either since I'm pretty tiny everywhere, hence why I don't poop often or can't eat a lot at the same time. It most of the time functions really good if I know what I can eat.
I have to eat smaller things more often rather than like 3 burgers at once which kinda sucks when going to some restaurants but hey that's me.

People always assume that I'm a fake nerd girl or that I'm idiot because I dropped out of high school. I dropped out because I had undiagnosed social anxiety and was having anxiety attacks on a near daily basis. The last time I went to sign up for GED school the lady who was running the tests asked me straight out what I was doing there because I got the highest possible score on the reading exam.
I'm not stupid, but everyone assumes that I am just some wannabe know-it-all with no idea what I'm talking about.
