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

"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.

Fox News Guest Has Blunt Reminder About Trump After Sean Hannity Asks About Biden's 'Cognitive Decline'

Fox News personality Sean Hannity was widely mocked after guest commentator Stephanie Miller gave him more than he bargained for with her response to his question about when she first noticed former President Joe Biden's "cognitive decline."

President Donald Trump and Republicans have long questioned Biden's cognitive fitness for office to draw attention from Trump's own gaffes. Earlier this week, Trump made headlines for claiming "no one knows what magnets are" during an Oval Office exchange. He has also continued to attract attention for falling asleep during events.
