People Share The Assumptions Others Make About Them When They First Meet

Make us preferred on Google

"What's something people assume about you when they first meet you?" –– That was today's burning question from Redditor mozzasanasur, who reminded us how it's so easy for people to refer to stereotypes.


"I built a reputation..."

Giphy

I built a reputation at my friend's college as the drunk moron who would do and say anything. When my friend came to my college for my graduation none of his friends believed him that I was actually graduating. Realistically I don't drink that much I really only partied when I visited there.

"Seriously..."

That I'm 15.

Seriously... people are constantly knocking on MY door, at MY house, that I pay the bills for, and asking to speak to my parents???

"My younger co-workers..."

Giphy

Everyone assumes I'm far more prim and proper than is actually the case. (I'm an older woman with a lot of white hair). My younger co-workers will accidentally swear in front of me, and then turn to me with looks of horror. It's hysterical.

"Nope..."

I'm laid back. Nope, just a nervous wreck whose only coping mechanism is to seize up.

"I'm 34..."

That I'm gay. I'm 34 and I really don't know why but most friends and my dad think I'm gay. Not sexually attracted to men... sorry folks.

"When I wear my glasses..."

Giphy

When I wear my glasses - that I look like a college professor. That I have a very "teacher-y face".

Usually these days, also that they could have SWORN I was married. In the last 6 months, dozens of people have been legitimately surprised that I am not married. Apparently I seem like I'm married. "You ACT like you're married" they say. I don't know what that means. Might be a nice way of saying old.

That's me: an old, married, straight-laced teacher boy. Definitely. And definitely not a big ol' idiot.

"That I'm..."

That I'm aloof, and possibly somewhat snobby. I'm very shy and fairly emotional.

"That I'm scary."

That I'm scary.

Almost 6ft with dreads.

My GFs parents think I'm a gang banger but I'm reality I'm the complete opposite. Never gotten in a real fight , do good in school, etc.

"In reality..."

Giphy

I'm a foreign immigrant coming from some really rich country in West Asia who speaks English really well.

In reality, I'm just a Filipino who can speak English. Take that, Karen.

"That I need a lot of assistance..."

That I need a lot of assistance all the time. While I am physically crippled due to congenital reasons, I am more than capable to taking care of myself with minimal assistance most of the time.

Woman Recounts 'Craziest' Experience At Restaurant While Reality TV Show Was Filming There—And Yikes

There's a saying about being a "jack of all trades" that's popular for a reason: basically, you cannot be the best at everything, and if you try to be the master of juggling too many plates, you're likely to drop some of them.

TikToker Hannah Revels went out for a double date, including her husband and a couple of friends, to a restaurant that she did not disclose. It's supposed to be a nicer restaurant that was recently renovated, and it's also located in Charleston, South Carolina, so celebrity sightings are fairly common.

TikToker Shares The Outfits She Wore To School Her Senior Year To Hide Her Teen Pregnancy—And Viewers Are Stunned

Most people would agree that high school is tough, from going through puberty and figuring out who you are, to trying to decide what to do for a career and where you might like to go for trade school or college, and maybe experiencing your first love.

Also, going through teen pregnancy during that time takes the high school experience to a whole other level.
