Misconceptions

[KaydeeKrunk]

People used to think I was a stoner because I hated my body so much in school that I didn't really brush my hair, wear make-up, and wore over-sized sweaters. People would also think I was a bully or a witch, but the witch part was right so...*shrugs* Now people think I have "too much" confidence because I'm a big girl and I am sexier than them, so whatever people, learn to love yourself and stop hating.

People used to think I was a stoner

People used to think I was a stoner/general drug user because I had long hair and played the guitar.

People still think I'm a drug user and I'm really not sure why considering don't look anything like I used to (and no longer have long hair). I could at least understand the reasoning when I dressed like I was in a successful Thrash Metal band.



It really annoys me because I've never touched drugs and I'm repulsed by the idea of doing so. It's like a personal attack when people assume I might have some.

Same feels over here, it sucks more because I live in a heavy drug using area so people don't even believe me when I say I don't and it hurts me that even as an adult I'm still getting all this pressure and judgement from my peers...

 

[cannedcommunism]

I have one. It is quite a long and confusing story though. But to make it short, I thought somebody was bullying me, but they thought I was bullying them. That isn't even half of it though, but I'll spare you the details.

I am very put together and mindful of what leaves my mouth, my job requires it, so at times people tell me that I come off as innocent or naive. Like a good, wholesome boy. My how much of a disappointment they are into once they befriend me.

When people automatically think I'm fifteen-sixteen. I consider it an honour actually, because I'm only eleven and hate talking to people my age because of the elitest attitude. When people think I'm old and mature enough it makes my day.

 

[Yuni]

People think I'm 15 despite being 20+ this year.
On the phone, people call me dear and ask why I'm not at school.

I can still get student price movie tickets if I don't say anything, so it's not too bad.

 

[Amichann]

There are many people who try to argue with me that I am not a fraternal twin. They yell at me and tell me I am wrong and try to tell me that I am an identical twin.
No. Stop. You were not there when I was born omg.

Also people get my race and my name wrong all the time. People don't believe I'm Asian, others don't believe I'm black...I don't know some people are crazy ahah.

 

[toadsworthy]

yah I've got opposite problem as OP... I'm straight and male, but I have a feminant voice and keep myself well groomed and put together... but i'm sorry I can't change my voice? I've had two guys leave me numbers on their checks at the restaurant I work at too and I just laugh on the way to the bank. I grew up with two older sisters, and a terrible father (nothing bad, just not wanting to be involved) so I feel like thats why I get along way easier with girls too

I had a tangy avatar which didn't help my gender identity on here, so I'm liking the Toadsworth change lol.

Sex for the first time freaking sucks, and it's not magical or romantic at all. It's awkward and clueless.

Idk why, but I just picture a man having sex in a Magikarp costume and it's making me giggle.

It's probably been done.

One common misconception is that jet fuel can't melt steel beams

 

[Gabriellaa]

Everyone iv'e ever known has told me they were terrified to speak to me because i looked like a "mean girl" and "someone who talks a lot of ****" some have even said I am too pretty to approach and that literally makes me gag because my self esteem is awful. When they get to know me they're the ones that end up being mean lol. Im very sensitive and shy. I can admit I have a resting ***** face though, sadly, that paired with being the silent type doesnt get me a lot of friends :/

I really hope that's not a thing.

 

[Alienfish]

People thinking I'm asian and/or male or that I'm way younger.

I honestly don't care people thinking I am another race/ethnicity or gender, but people thinking I'm like 16.. uh, no. Keep quiet or ask, fml.

 

[kitanii]

People generally think I'm a lot younger than I am. I've had people think I was a freshman in highschool meanwhile I'm 20. But I don't mind too much. I especially like the looks on people's faces when I go to the liquor store. I get a weird sense of satisfaction from showing people my ID to prove I'm legal, haha.

 

[Leela]

People at school that I don't know avoid me because they think I'm a terrible and cruel person or something. I suspect it's due to certain rumours spread by the more popular girls at school, since I actually avoid making people feel bad at all costs.

Another misconception from people who hear my name before they meet me is my race. My name is Indian, but I'm actually caucasian, so occasionally someone being introduced to me will ask me why I'm white (which makes me laugh because it reminds me of a scene from Mean Girls).

 

[MagicalCat590]

Here's another one: People tend to think I'm lazy because I play video games in my free time. In reality, I actually live in a tiny apartment that only takes two hours to clean from top to bottom, so I just have enough free time to play video games and keep up my other hobbies.

I learned today that some of my friends think that I can come off as unapproachable or off-putting because I use "big words" and that I enjoy discussing "politics". Interesting.

Apparently they think that I should "dumb myself down" so that I can come across sexier, little do they know that intelligence, confidence, and power are some of the most sought after traits in a prospective partner. If you possess them then make any prospective partner earn you.
