What is something about you that you wish people would understand

What is something about you that is misunderstood? Is there anything people perceive or judged about you that simply is not true? Is there something about yourself that you wish people would give you a chance on?

For me...

I am not as pessimistic as I appear to be. My opinions are based on addressing the needs of people. I will put people and peoples feelings first before capital or obeying rules (within reason) - something that I believe is a good thing.

What about you?
 
People think I am rude and always angry because I don't smile much and I am not talkative.

I just get really nervous when I am around people and one of the reasons I don't talk much is because I don't have a lot in common with most people I meet, so there isn't much to talk about.

People see me as stuck up and think I am better than everyone because I never participate in anything and like to keep to myself and don't speak to anyone but it's just that I can't do it not that I don't want to :/

Me too! I often hear how much better than everyone I "appear" to be. I think people are silly.

I think the biggest misconception, with my family and friends, is that I don't care because I don't see them or call them as much as they'd like. I've been called selfish, and told that I'm a bad friend. I can't expect them to understand, but I wish they would.

People in my life think I'm a scary,no nonsense b*tch. They don't know how sensitive i am. they don't know how easily i cry. they don't know how things just eat at me constantly...like disagreements or insults.

people also think I have a backbone of steel and ice in my veins.

Part of me wants people to know I'm soft and sensitive. Part of me is ok with the misconceptions bc it protects me.

yep, that's why i created the illusions in the first place

most of what we perceive of as magic is simply the result of misdirection purposefully staged by the magician

^ Exactly both of those.

I wish people would understand the reason I am so quiet is because I'm naturally that way. I've always been extremely shy, but now with SA it just makes things worse. Sometimes I'm dying to say something, or participate in something, and I just can't do it. So instead I just sit on the sidelines, by myself, and watch everyone around me.


Also, something I really don't like is when people automatically assume you're "boring" because you're not all crazy and extroverted and willing to do everything else other people consider "fun." I have my own interests and definition of "fun," that may not appeal to most people (like staying in and playing video games or reading a book or browsing the web on a fri/sat night instead of going out to party and get drunk), but that's just who I am.

im super shy around people and like some childish things, so people think im immature and i need to grow up.
im not immature. SA has nothing to do with maturity. i think im far more mature than most people my age.
and as for liking childish things: so what? i like hello kitty, disney, cute stuff, pokemon. im sure everyone has plenty of things they hold onto from their childhood. and there are far worse things i could be into

UGH that totally burns my buns. I can't stand when people think THEIR idea of fun is the end all be all definition of what is fun.

That's why I loath fb. You see all these pics of people acting all silly,crazy,posing in "fun" pics with all their bff's...it makes you question your choices to stay home and just chill out.

I'm 26 and sleep on Hello Kitty sheets! I personally love HK :) I see nothing wrong with that.

every single thing,i just wish they could see me who i really am,which doesn't happen,the minute i'm out of the house,i have no personality at all.mostly though,i wish people weren't suspicious of me,no one has actually told me,maybe it's just my mind playing tricks on me,but i always feel like people are afraid of me,they think i'm "dark" or that i could hurt them..

people tend to think im mad and hate everyone cause im not social and don't like attending social events. or they think im super depressed cause i like to sit a lone and away from people. i wish peope would just understand that i dont want to be social

also wish people would understand my love for the darker things in life, which tend to scare people or make them think i have mental issues.

Same here. My mom once called me super selfish because I'm not good at showing that I care, and it was even worse when I was younger.

Some people accused me of being selfish too because I don´t know how to engage, don´t smile and don´t know how to show sympathy. Funny it came from someone who I think if pretty selfish himself (was even warned from him before). But anyway I think this describes what most people think. My cousin once told me I was cold like a dogs face. Whatever they want to think, sunshines :rolleyes:.
