Common misconceptions that people have about you?

I'm not very self aware, so I'm not entirely clear. I've been told I'm a bit intimidating.

Which is absolutely not good...haha please don't be afraid to reach out to me.
 
There are rumors going around that I absolutely detest shovels, trains and supermarkets... these are all blasphemous lies do not bring them up again thank you very much no this is not an effort to stop shovel abuse on me


on another note what I often get to hear is that because I like YGO I instantly have to be someone who uses Blue-Eyes White Dragon... I cannot stand that at all I do not use bricks it's ridiculous >:(
Also the fact that especially my family likes to think I can fix anything IT related cause I work in IT...
 
People in college thought I was really smart. That isn't exactly the case, I've just been through enough years of college to know how to study for exams and do really well on them.

In the past, people have thought of me as someone who only listens to Classical music. I've been called "Ms Classical" before. Lol. I listen to a lot of "pop" (meaning non-classical) music in reality.
 
This doesn't happen to me anymore, but when I was younger, people (mostly my classmates) used to think I couldn't talk at all. I had selective mutism, which means I would only talk to certain people (in my case, those "certain people" were family members). This made me so mad when I was younger because I knew I could talk, but I couldn't bring myself to talk to my classmates. It took me years to ever speak to my best friend.

I guess another thing is that people might find me boring? I'm not boring, trust me, I have tons of personality once you get to know me. I'm reserved when I'm not around friends and don't talk to anyone else, so I guess that explains why people might think I'm boring.

Oh dear. Are you me? I've gotten that quite a few times too and it's sooo annoying. Though I'm aware that my personality is kind of "intense" so I can understand why someone would think I'm intimidating now, haha.

So, people who don't know me or barely interact with me tend to assume I'm super social, confident, "bitchy", or that I hate them on first sight... which is not true at all. To be honest, I'm just super self-conscious and insecure about social interactions with people I don't know because of my ADHD and OCD, and the last thing I want is for people to see me as annoying or weird (which yeah, I admit I am sometimes), so I try to avoid unnecessary conversations with strangers unless I actually have something meaningful to say.
There's people who have been very into me partially because of my personality and that's all fun and good. But whenever things have gone south for whatever reason, many of them still used my "problems" against me, and I'd rather not expose myself to get dismissed like I'm some grown-up child by the so-called "normal" people.

I probably shouldn't rant about this here but I had to get it off my chest. I'm friendly, I promise TwT
 
It is a bit hard because fewer people will try to get to know us.
But assuredly, I just type in a formal matter, rarely do I get truly angry.
 
When I get to know someone and the conversation turns to when we met I always get told, "I thought you were mean" or, "I thought you didn't like me" because I am very standoffish and quiet until I get to know people and I have a very dry sense of humour.
 
People often think I'm still in school, and assume I'm chunks younger than I actually am. Other than that, no other incorrect assumptions of me come to mind, really. x_x
 
People think I'm an introvert and that I like to be left alone... in reality I'm an extrovert who has really bad social anxiety and I don't know how to make myself approachable so I'm just always by myself lol
