some people say that i'm snobbish, which is not true. i am shy actually so if you don't talk to me i rather not talk also. i also have poor eyesight so there are times that i can't see the people in front of me. what about you?

I also have those problems, you know. People say I am also snobbish. I am really not. It's just that I am not much of a smiler, so that must be the reason. Like you, I also have poor eyesight and sometimes I have difficulty recognizing people when I see them.

Six years ago, I probably don't smile a lot. But now I try to smile on everyone, but not that big smile because it will probably creep them out. I do a simple smirk. I think this will make them feel that I am not a snob.

I am near-sighted as well. I feel embarrassed when I greeted someone that I don't know. I can understand that from my experience. People around me say that I am easy-going. They love to be friends with me. I feel happy for this.

As long as you feel happy for what is happening to you then I guess you don't have to worry anything about it.

The biggest misconception people have about me before they actually meet me or talk to me is that I am a snob because apparently I look like one. Lol. I didn't realize I looked like one. But it seems everytime I talk to someone they say, "Wow you are really nice. I always thought you were a snob or something." Lol I don't know why people think that, maybe it's just the way I look when I walk around lol!

I'm a Californian so I am supposed to be stupid. I am also supposed to have been raised in an uncultured environment, edspite growing up 5 minutes from san Francisco, on the Marin side. It gets a bit tedious! I even once had an Irishman say to me, "The only culture in California is in the yogurt". He thought he was just SO funny. Had he been there? No, but he had been to Seattle (Washington). I asked him if he had ever heard of San Francisco, which just happens to be in California, and that shut him up fairly effectively!

Thank you for responding in my discussion. Well I am not from the United States so I don't know the behavior of Californian people. Why should Californian supposed to be stupid? I know that the San Francisco is in California but why did the man told you that the only culture in Calfornia is yogurt?

People think that i am not a good person because i am not talking a lot and snub too. Its not true if only they know me who really i am they will be surprise. I have lots of friends that i cant remeber all the names so if i meet them somewhere i cant say their names because i forgot. I am a loving friend and a picky too, meaning in terms of friendship i am picky because i want a real one. If i am your friend i will cherish forever. I love my fiends thats why when i talk to them 2 hours is not enough.

You sound almost exactly like me. The more you talk about yourself, the more I think about myself. Most also think that I am a snob. But my friends will definitely disagree to that. I am a really talkative person, I like talking a lot and sharing things. Everyday I call my boyfriend, I consider him also as my bestfriend, and our conversation took more than 2 hours. That's how talkative I am.

Well, other people think I'm snobbish too. I just wanted to explain my side here. How come you will smile to everyone you meet on the street if you don't know that person right? Others will mis interpret it as being flirt and that's another issue on your part?. Whew! Sometimes, people are just so OA about the things that you do that will lead to mis-interpretations. It's just so hard to be judged by others who don't know you personally.

I tried smiling to someone in school and she didn't even looked at me. What a rejection! You do have a point at smiling at everyone you see.

people's first impression of me is that i'm stern and a snob just because i don't just talk to anyone. but it's not that at all, i can be loquacious with people i know and comfortable with. i just prefer to listen most of the time. they say it's because of my eyes too, and the way i look like when i'm not smiling. now, that, i don't really know. i need a mirror :)

You got quite a vocabulary up there. Thanks for the new word "loquacious". There are really some people who likes to listen than to speak. One of our church elders said that good speakers are the one who listens carefully.

We are a bit the same. It is funny when my friends and I get to talked about the first impression about each other. Most of them would say that I am snobbish and very quite then after we all get to know each other better they are shocked how energetic and lively I am. I laugh all the time whenever they tell me this.

People have a tendency to think i'm a snob and hate everyone. It's not true although i do find some people difficult to be around. As for the snobbish part i think it has something to do with my mum. ;]

I think people think I'm a b*tch but I'm just out spoken and very honest. If you don't want an opinion then don't ask me. So what do you think am I a b*tch LOL?

I am not sure if you are and I'd like to believe that you are not. Maybe people just don't know you that well that's why they say different things which is completely opposite from your personality.

People think that I'm snobbish, and it is false. I'm actually friendly and I don't judge people by the way they look but on the way they treat me. If they are nice to me then I will be nice to them as well. They also think that I'm quiet. It is half true though, I don't talk much with people I don't know that well because I'm not pretty sure yet what we have in common. But with my friends, I'm really talkative =)

You know brew2x, the more I read about your comment the more I think of myself. There are certain things that are similar to the both of us.

It does take some time to really know someone, but there are also people that I do trust immediately (not my 100 % of course). There are just some people that you feel at ease and comfortable with from the beginning and it seems that something is connecting you somehow =)

hi, I can't bear others mistakes and I get angry easily. I know it is not good. But I am talkative person. I have good sense of humor. I don't like to stay with serious face. I make people laugh. So I have many friends and they enjoy my company. When the friends have get together and I am not with them they miss me and my jokes very much.

Some people think I am like a "miss priss" because I think sophisticated things. I wear high heels a lot and take pride in who I am and some people think I think I'm better then them which is the farthest thing from actuality.

I would say the biggest misconception that the people have is that, I am very angry person and they thend to fear me and they also thinks that I am tough hearted and sometime can beatup someone if they make me angry and it is totaly false, I am a very kind, gentle and friendly person and they might be in delima because of the physical structure that I have. BUt it is not all that way friends.

Some people have called me melancholic, but they're wrong. I have a sensitive side, because I'm an artist and think about things, but I'm not melancholic.
