What Is The Biggest Misconception There Could Be About You??

Hi zed! You're from Singapore? I was just there last week! Well, the biggest misconception about me is that I'm ambitious. People think I strive to be something like a boss or a someone with a higher position in the office. I don't actually think that way. I'm a happy-go-lucky, laid back person. I'd rather rest at home than worry about work. I work yes, but not more than I should. People think I strive for more because I do good work. But that's all there is to it. I just do good work. I can be happy for what I can get and what I have. I just don't like striving for more. I'm happy to live a simple life.

I'm very talkative, outgoing and friendly. That makes people think that I am real open with my thouhts and feelings, but really you can spend a lot of time with me and never really know me.. you have to make it a point to do that!

People assume I'm a Christian and a teacher wrong! Is it the glasses? I don't know. all I can say is I rather eat glass than teach kids or anyone. I will answer questions but teach from scratch , No F@cking way! oh That reminds me, they also think I'm a lady who doesn't swear. Double Wrong!

This is great discussion. There are a lot of misconceptions about me that people have told me they thought before they got to know me..lol. I have been at my job now for almost 13 years. I am one of those that always smile and try to be positive about everything..BUT under that..I am tough as nails. My boss told me after I had worked there for 5 years that he had hired me just to see if my attitude was "real" and if I could make it...LOL. They put me on the toughest jobs for a long time. I am still there and in management now. Another misconception is that I am stuck up. I talk to everyone and I could not understand why people felt that way. My friend told me after I had known her for a while that it was the way I carried myself. Posture or something..I thought it was weird that she felt that way, but I don't know.

Been there done that..and not succeeded in shedding that image. But I am bad kiddo to an extent. When people dont take no for no, and try to run my life, I tolerate and tolerate and tolerate till some wiring goes wrong somewhere, and I snap, and I snap badly. So I am not angelic.

People usually mistake me as shy and quiet. When I'm in a group of people and they're like, "Oh, she wouldn't say a word," in my head I'm like "I'm a hundred times crazier than you are." I only am reserved when I am around strangers whom I feel uncomfortable with, but actually, I am very weird and dorky. Also, people think that I'm very feminine and all, but they don't know that I'm actually boyish. It sucks when they judge you based on how you look.

People always think of me as an unfriendly, uncool person also. They are totally wrong about that. I can be very friendly and very cool if they ever gave it a chance to get to know me.

hi! it's half past 2 am here and it's still and quiet. i find you nice and friendly in mylot, not bad nor arrogant at all. but that is just me... i don't know how you are with other mylotters. jk! there are many misconceptions about me. it's hard to pick one. foreigners, strangers, work colleagues, acquaintances etc... well, different people have different misconceptions about me. i'll walk it through in my head and type as i think... maybe i could get to the biggest misconception there could be about me. hehe i get mistaken for a local in foreign soils in asia a lot. being a southeast asian, i sometimes could pass up as indonesian, korean, malaysian, cambodian and singaporean. (but not as vietnamese or chinese) perhaps it's because i make an effort to learn cultures and attempt the local tongue. i learned that strict-looking immigration guys warm up and actually smile back and greet you once you greet them in their local language. i often get approached in the streets by strangers asking directions... like as if i'm a walking map. geography and geographical directions is my waterloo actually. but i can get by with a map. and i often have one if i'm in new or foreign territory. i often get approached by beggars also from the streets and all the way to our home. charities and solicitations for financial support is a frequent thing at home that at times i wonder if we look rich. or that perhaps because we support so many, they think it's our way of life too. work colleagues often find me too quiet, too reserved at times, not outgoing enough and too serious about work that it is often intimidating for others. this is true to some extent but i'm only quiet when i'm thinking and observing (the rest of the time i'm really talkative, chatty and laughs quite a lot)... reserved because i'm never loud and wouldn't want attention... not outgoing because basically i'm a homebody but i'm game to go out depending on company and if it's worth my time... and serious about work when you have to exude a certain level of professionalism so that others would take you seriously and really mean business. otherwise i'm the type of person that can talk about anything under the sun. having said all these, i think the biggest misconception people have about me is creating a snapshot of me but creating different taglines for the real story. i mean i may look and project the same person they see or think that i am... but what they see for a moment (a snapshot) is not necessarily what i am in entirety. a picture they say is worth a thousand words, a tagline is just but a few. missing out on the correct/accurate tagline may miss out on the real story itself. and that's what happens in misconceptions about oneself. have a great weekend! :) :) :)

Well, some people thing that just because I let them get by with something once or twice that it is going to happen again, whereas I am sort of one of those give them enough rope to hang themselves sort of people. So maybe the biggest misconception is thinking that I am a nice doormat and then they get mad when they find out I'm not. Say, I cannot imagine you not explaining yourself well. Maybe they are just not listening well...

I think that some people think I don't want to work. The U.S. is very short on jobs and those that I can physically do (I have scoliosis and arthritis) I don't get because they hire younger women--I'm 57 and refuse to dye my hair to look younger and I don't think it would matter much anyway. My neighbors think I'm lucky to not work but I would rather have a job outside my home. Also, when some people hear that I have an income from my marriage they think I am a leech. I stayed home with the children for nearly 20 years and did not work, I maintained a nice home for my family and helped some in my husband's business. There was nothing saved for retirement and I have that income so that I supposedly will not be destitute in retirement and can pay my bills in the present. But because of the economy and unemployment situation I'm not able to save or invest much of that income as was intended. I am not a leech. I am just receiving what should have been provided for me. I could have gotten more but like a fool I took just what I thought I could make do with.

People always thought of me as a "mean girl" and since I was little, people don't approach me to be friends with me. Very few people looked beyond that misconception and actually got to know the real me. Well, these few people are my real friends now. And they are the kind of friends I'd like to keep. Sometimes, these misconceptions have an advantage. Through these misconceptions, we find out who our real friends are and who are worthy of our love and friendship.

Hi bro zed You really need me to reveal one of my secrets here Well, good for me so that at least a misconception can get cleared - People have a misconception that I love being lazy and DO NOT Work because I have a wife who gets me the money. Yes, I do not go out of house for work. I do not have enough work on Internet too. But That is because of my illness - Ulcerative Colitis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. As I am too young to have these (been 11years, 4years - respectively) at 36, people dont believe me and also I am sick of explaining them what the disease is and how they effect a person. So I stopped explaining, complaining and also let them think what they think about me. Not sure if that was wise but someone here advised me not to do it as it will do no good but spread a feeling that I am weak. Hope my response falls under what you need. Have a Great Day and a Great Time... Always

Hola mi amigo zed I will take a guess based on experience and say that because I am very kind, caring and giving many think I am so much so that I will can be easily trick-able and forgivable. So not true, though I am very nice by nature, I hurt and their misconception about me being naive would be that I do not forgive and forget too easily. If they knew me well they would not take a risk in taking me for granted because though I can eventually forgive I NEVER forget therefore, things will never return back.

people who just met me dub me as a snob and most of my friends think I'm really strong emotionally since most of them has never seen me cry, some family members think I'm innocent that I know nothing of the real world... I don't know but I guess I wear a really good mask, most would see me as a very confident, hard, and too arrogant individual when yeah, I'm a bit confident but I'm a marshmallow inside and I'm not at all arrogant...

I think it has to be, i'm a loner, dun like to interact with others? haha =D I have to say that the online me, and offline me, are quite different in some ways. I may seem to laugh about anything here, but in real, i'm not so. I like to listen to problems, solve it for friends, but i just dun look like one capable of doing that.. lol =D But at least that's still better than better proud and arrogant when one is really not right?? hehe ^_^

hi zed the biggest misconception people have about me is that I am loud mouthed and bossy which I am not but I can say things in writing that I could not say aloud as I am really shy and not outgoing. I am quiet and a wuss as I hate confrontations and will almost let people run over me before saying don't do that. I am not an extrovert but an introvert really.I am also a good listener and try to be sympathetic to other's needs.

This is actually a big one! The biggest misconception about me is that I'm a liar, a cheat and that I bribed my fiancee into being with which is all thanks to her for spreading those lies and rumours about me so that she could keep getting away with secretly sleeping with a member of her own family behind her back. Now none of them want to know me! Nice eh??

Hi zed! Long time no see! People think (in real life, that is) that I am some social butterfly, popular, friendly, and beaming happiness. Well, that's me on the outside, but inside I am rather a hermit, like to be alone, cynical, critical, can be bitter - although I am still happy for the most part. I am kind of a chameleon and I'm different around different people . . . but internally I think I am pretty much the same person all the time. Happy New Year to you!!

hello Zed, On my own personal opinion I think you are really a friendly person and fun to be with but of course you also have your negative side but doesn't matter as long as you did not turn into a dragon or monster . People think that I am snobbish one but the truth is I am friendly Some people think that I am flirt because the way I dress in fact I am not People can easily judge me but I don't give a care because I know that I am not the person that they are thinking of I know myself more than they do. Have a great weekend

The biggest misconception about me is that I'm too shy and quiet.I'm not shy I'm just more of a people watcher and I listen very well.
