What do people misunderstands about you?

[nankaimo]

I think what people most misunderstand about me is just because I am friendly to people and chill when it comes to most situations, that they just assume that I can't have any other emotion other than "a laid-back kind of happy"
And kind of what Kato said, people just assume that I should be that way all the time, so i become that way all the time and force a smile on my face which becomes very tiring after a while and eventually all I want to do is stay at home for weeks on end without any social interaction. >o<

But on the flip side, this assumption of me people have can get pretty helpful because when I do get pissed off, people automatically stop whatever they were doing that pissed me off to being with XD

People have misunderstood me for my entire life. That's why I got into anime because I've always felt lonely. Stuff like Inuyasha and Harvest Moon, though it may sound corny, did save my life during middle school. But it was also because of anime that people didn't like me.

They thought I was this weird girl who didn't want to hang around anyone and just wanted to stay in my little bubble. Also, because I am very shy, teachers thought I was stupid.

It kind of hurts when people do that to you when they don't even know you.

I'm kind of a bitch when people waste my time at work. That doesn't really translate to my personal life.

If I don't sound sincere its probably more embarrassment than anything. If I don't have something nice to say you probably won't get anything out of me. If I even bother to comment it means you made an impression.

Even if I seem confident and in-control, I really want the guy to make the first move. I'm actually very self-conscious.

3. I'm more geekier than what they think and I don't really like studying at all... but ALL the people around me had the impression I love studying and DOES nothing but studying when all I do was play games and woo boys on the screen

That also happens to me... A LOT. Really, I don't understand why.
Oh, and people think I'm unpleasant, when I'm not... I just feel weird talking to strangers...

[Green Glasses Girl]

I have a tendency of getting really excited over something and interrupting people when they're talking. I don't mean to be rude! I just get really absorbed in what another person is saying! Ahhhh.

[Yea got the concept wrong. Time for the post delete!]

[Trixar_za]

I sometimes say inappropriate things without meaning to. It happens when I get nervous or unsure how to respond to something and I say the first thing that pops into my head. It never ends well :/

[Ispheria]

People think I'm a geek or a nerd because I know how to get free stuff on the computer, and because I like anime. I just happened to know one thing about superman and they assume I'm into comics (I'm not). Truth is, i know almost nothing about computers. Youtube tells me how to get everything free. And all the new anime sucks. All fanservice now a days-.- so I'm not even into anime anymore. Because i play games and are in art school to learn how to make video games, they assume i play all the major triple A games, but those are the games i don't play.

I've always been astounded by how I can say something and have it completely mistranslated by the time it reaches the listener. I've literally had my spoken "yes" taken to mean "no" (and vice versa) on numerous occasions, and it seems like blind luck for anything more complex than that getting through to someone without some chinese whispers effect taking hold.

It probably doesn't help that I'm extremely anxious around people so just getting the words out is already stressful without having to repeat myself. No surprise that I try to avoid conversations then!

That I can't draw anything besides girls just because of my portfolio. Well I can't blame them, really.

[sonorousgem]

-That I'm always tired. I just don't like opening my eyes wide when I don't have to, okay?! XD

-That I'm really smart. At least when I wore my glasses XD

-That I'm really mysterious and/or nice and/or sweet. It's probably just because I'm quiet and people don't know what to expect. And when I do talk to people I say nice things, so maybe that's why, lol. (if I don't have something nice to say, I don't say it! )

[SadisticWonderland]

XD This seems fun. As for me, people keep misunderstanding me for a cruel witch.

They think I'm cruel,sadistic, heartless monster that will bite their heads off literally and leave them bleeding to death if they misbehave in front of me. They even call me 'witch' and 'man-eating tiger' behind me because they are scared to say so in front of me. But it's good though because when bullies find out about this, they didn't dare to touch my lil bro.

I'm perfectly harmless. How people (including seniors) are scared of me is still a mystery. XD

[Armee]

That I'm dumb, that I'm stupid, that I'm not good at anything.
Well...all I need to do is proving they're wrong...

[Head_Phones]

People think I'm a total pushover.

I like to think I'm a nice person, about as nice as an average girl, y'know. But for some reason, because of me smiling way too much or whatever, most tend to think I'm a pushover, or a super-nice pushover.

Once a random girl from another class came over to mine (friends with some other classmates) and asked me to take a photo. I smiled politely and said no, she called me a wet blanket and practically forced me to take a photo (I was way too shocked she would even touch me when I barely knew her) She then of course manipulated my photo so that I looked much fatter and then ran around the whole class showing people the photo and laughing.

I basically went like 'huh' (fake smile) and left the classroom immediately after she made the photo.

Well, there was this other time when I joked around with my friend and said she needed a beating (in Chinese, sounds more badass haha) and then two of seniors stopped what they were doing and stared at me. One said, 'I never knew you were capable...' The other smiled knowingly and went, 'I knew you had that in you. It's always the ones like you.'

I'm also the slow burner type and I take most things in stride, but my dislike towards you gets progressively obvious if I have to spend a lot of my time with you.

I have since then made friends with the people I dislike so they'd treat me well. One might possibly have a girl-crush on me (ahahaha, I'm jooooking)

But I dunno, making friends seem to be my best coping mechanism, so maybe I am a pushover ahahaha

[Crenshaw6]

That I am really frosty and unsociable. My friends have commented on this, that when they first talked to me, I looked as though I was going to snap at them or stare daggers at them. I can't quite help my expression. I just let it relax, and well, I suppose it relaxes into something not so friendly looking. That and I'm a tad scared of making the first move. Doesn't help at all.

Another misunderstanding is that I don't understand the content. When I was in high school, teachers would give me concerned looks (one asked me to stay behind and then politely asked me how I was keeping up with the content and if I needed help. I was touched by her concern, but it was a really awkward conversation). So apparently, when I am listening and learning, I have a vacant and confused expression. I wonder how they felt after the As and A+s rolled in. Suspicious? Confused? Relieved?
