What assumptions do people tend to make about you — whether based on how you look or dress, how you speak, etc.

"I think" people assume they can treat me like sh*t because I try to be kind to everyone, they see it as a weakness but most do not know about me and all the struggles in my life, past, so they are rudely awakened when I stand up and thrive no matter what they try to do to me to push me down. They assume I am stupid because I do not have that "college" education, so underestimated, big sigh.

I have no idea, and truly don’t give a hoot what anyone assumes about me. I know who I am, and that’s all that really matters. I’m honest, kind, thoughtful, giving, well-educated, what you see is what you get, the same personality offline as online, and did I say honest? My husband told me to add a gourmet cook, elegant, fashion conscious, loving, wealthy, a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, popular, pretty, sweet, well-travelled, and I can’t print what else he said. . Does that answer your question?

The assumptions that people make about me is that I am mean. Sometimes I use that assumption to my advantage. I let them think that, that way they know not to mess with me. When I meet people that I really like and choose to let them into my world. They always say I thought you were mean when I first met you, but you are one of the nicest people I know. And that works for me ??????.

That I'm standoffish since can be very quiet when I am around others until I get to know them. That I wear more skirts and dresses because I'm fat but it's because my pain sometimes don't allow pants. I don't care what they think though. Not anymore.

I am quiet and reserved and kind to everyone. This can be turned around and taken as being arrogant and "who does she think she is" kind of treatment. It is very hurtful.

Probably people assume that I am like a girl as I am too skinny and someone tell me that I am a paper man when look at me from one side. I am not but just too skinny and my back is straight when walking.

@amadeo I cannot do any changes because I cannot get fat even though I eat at lot due to I am a high body metabolism person. Now it getting better, i did not encounter people said that I am a paper man, Yet, I am still skinny.

I believe it varies depends on how people feel about me. If they like my style they probably will have positive assumption of me, but if we dont vibe then no matter what effort I put in to impress them Im sure they would just keep looking at the bad side of me which I dont even care.

@amadeo Because I have tattoos and shave my head (I don't have much hair anyway) if I am dressed in jeans and a T-shirt I can see the doubt in some people's eyes - 'who is this criminal type' I can almost hear them say.
