12 People Share Things People Wrongly Assume About Them All The Time

Initial judgments are often by looks, but understanding goes deeper. In response to the question, "What do people wrongly assume about you?", here are popular answers.

DEMENTIA

“I’m 70 years old, look older, retired, and walk 3X daily. People stop their cars assuming that I have dementia and am lost.”

MATHEMATICS AND DRIVING

“I’m an Asian guy with glasses. People assume I’m bad at driving and good at math. I’m actually bad at both.”

SADNESS

"I have a resting miserable face — even when happy, I look sad. People often check on me at music festivals because I appear on the verge of tears. Despite looking 20 years older than I am, I'm usually enjoying the music inside my head."<

BEING JUDGED FOR THE FACE

“I’m approachable and will want to talk to them. I just have one of those faces, unfortunately.”

KNOWS ANSWER FOR TV SHOW QUESTIONS

“My wife assumes that I know the answer to the multiple questions she has about the T.V. show we are both watching for the first time.”

DISABILITY

"I’m blind and it often makes me seem helpless & insecure to others due to the required caution in my movements. This perception can be frustrating as it sometimes infantilizes me. Although navigation, object avoidance, and memorization can make me slower and seemingly insecure, I'm just as confident."

FIX A COMPUTER

“People assume I can fix their computer because I work in I.T.”

SPORTS

“That I’m all muscle, no brains. I’m tall and like to work, but I literally know nothing about sports. Obsessed with anime video games and chess.”

ADHD

"People say I can't have ADHD as I lack impulsivity. Educate yourself on different types of ADHD before judging; thanks."

ARROGANCE

"I'm introverted and often misconstrued as arrogant when in social situations due to my quiet nature and stylish appearance."

JUDGMENT FOR PIERCINGS AND TATTOOS

Despite my tattoos and piercings, I full-time care for dementia patients. I have a soft spot for them, hugging those who allow me.

FINANCIAL ISSUE

"I'm borderline broke. I drive my mum's old car, get clothes from charity shops, and mostly attend festivals. I earn well but am un-materialistic. I'm introverted, save energy for big events, and holiday alone!"
