What is one thing people don’t expect about you?

I think that I am vegetarian. I don't know why but everyone is suprised when I tell them after months of knowing each other.

That I’m an introvert. Somehow people get the impression that I’m an outgoing party person who can’t get enough of people and hanging out. I am outgoing yes, but need forever to recover from social interactions and would prefer staying at home and being alone 9/10 times.

That I'm a twin, but fraternal not identical.

Probably that I love car movies. It always takes people off guard that Ive seen *Ford vs Ferrari* at least 4 times in theatre when it was there, have a Fast and Furious Poster, with a note I wrote when Paul died , and Im a big fan of Gran Turismo ♡♡♡♡♡
Im also excited for the new Ferrari movie coming out.

People always are surprised by that, I guess I just dont come across as the type of individual who enjoys that kinda stuff lol.

Well they certainly never expect me to be a guy, that's for sure...

Same as OP, I hardly talk whenever I'm just getting to know someone, but once you know me it's impossible to get me to shut up.

That I enjoy metal music (though I'm picky about some bands and songs). I actually developed that interest recently because I wanted know why my friend here is so hyperfixated on that genre. I still don't get it to this day, but at least I ended up with a new all-time favorite song, that being Metallica's "Wherever I May Roam".

That I generally feel comfortable on stage and with public speaking and did some theater throughout my life. Because I’m so shy face to face.

I listen to a lot of Mexican and Puerto Rican music. (I’m not Latina.) I also like opera. (I’m young and not really a theater person.)

I am also a goth on the inside, if that makes sense. I like some spooky, but not too scary stuff. I especially like the whimsigoth aesthetic. I like the style and philosophy, but I’m too lazy and comfortable in my own clothes to dress like it.

I'm outwardly very calm. When someone learns I have an anxiety disorder it's usually surprising.

I can also be petty and vindictive (but i know it's a flaw and i'm working through this to better myself).

As in - someone once insulted me in a private social media group. So I found his wife's profile and messaged her about what he said. I told her about how his behavior in our group wasn't okay.

(urrrgh i'm not proud of that though). I realize now that the better thing to do is just block and move on.

A few things that stem from my ASD and OCD:

• I suffer from massive mood swings. I could be calm, content and happy on a certain day. On another, I end up hating everything including myself.
• I don't really sense positivity as something real, so when I receive compliments, I tend to not react a whole lot. People view me as a grump because of it.
• I find it very hard to initiate with new people, including with those on the internet. When in public, I don't actively seek help, and just silently wait for assistance if I'm in a store for example. That might also explain my lack of friends and relationships. If I come off as an arrogant loner who only really thinks of himself, that's why. I'm currently seeing a therapist and enrolling in a program to try and help me better initiate conversations.
• In the real world (outside TBT), people are surprised to find out that I'm an Animal Crossing fan. I even have a leaf sticker on my car to show everyone that, despite my downer mood most of the time, I do not feel ashamed for liking the series. It's basically my "soft" side coming out if you know what I mean.
