Things People Assume About You

<< < (4/26) > >>

Thrillho:
I think I know myself too well to guess what they assume about me.

One thing is that I have an annoying habit of deliberately becoming an overbearing, loudmouthed caricature of myself when I meet new people, I guess to test their mettle. This is regardless of whether I've taken drugs at the time, but those certainly didn't help.

I wear a mask all the time, so I think a lot of people think they know me when in reality I could probably count on one hand the people that have actually met me, and increasingly I wonder if my ex was one of them. So I guess many people assume they know me, but don't.

Speaking of my ex, here's an amusing story about people assuming things about me. The first time we slept together, I very visibly pulled her at a party and took her home. The morning after, the girls who hosted the party were asking her about me.

First they assumed I was a virgin (I wasn't). Then they assumed I was shit in bed (I'm not). Then they assumed I was really soft and tender in bed (I wasn't, at least not on that occasion). All three of these things amused the shit out of me.

MisterHeal:
People seem to believe I am a lot younger then I actually am. This only tends to happen in places that aren't a University, because they set a certain expectation for age. But when I'm at the mall or at my local comic book store I always get these 14 year olds hitting on me it's like oohhh nnnoooooooo. This will come in handy when I'm like 50 and people think I'm 40... Hopefully.

Patrick:
People's assumptions about me are pretty polarized one way or another. Either they think I want to hear what they have to say (rarely ever true), or that I despise all people, and especially them (only half true, in most cases).

People also generally assume that because I have spent a lot of time living in places they'd consider exotic (read: anywhere but the west coast of the continental US), that they have the attention span to hear about it in the kind of detail that I think is worth sharing. The usual response to me saying "You won't really understand even if I do tell you" is denial and assertions to the contrary. And if I do eventually relent and decide to share, literally every single time I tell anybody except my closest friends any kind of detailed information about my life abroad, people's eyes just glaze over after maybe 15 seconds (generous estimate).

Now, following Gaz's lead re: bedroom related stuff, most girls assume I am a lamb. That or not particularly well-endowed. Little do they know until the time comes.  :evil:

People always think I'm either a sweet, quiet, unassuming pushover, or an angry cunt.  And I guess I am a bit of both - I'm terrible at bluffing, so if I dislike someone, it's impossible for me to hide.  But I also try to see the best in everyone, and confrontation and anger tend to make me cry, so it can be hard to bring out my mean side.

But whether people think I'm sweet or angry, I'm always quiet.  I have literally had people be surprised that I am able to speak  :-\.

Old dudes seem to assume I want to sleep with them,  as do 18 year olds... 

No-one in their 30s though (which is my target demographic)
