Excellent advice, Erin.


so, your saying gemini is a racist IYO? on the sly anyways. nod


I'm saying that I admire the way Erin deals with this and that gemini13's statement is a perfect example of someone who may benefit from this type of introspection.

But you knew that. hug

If many people have the same "misconceptions" about you, it's probably not that much of a misconception.

When several people have the same perception of me and it's not one that I like, I take a good hard look at myself to see why they feel the way they feel instead of brushing it off and saying, "oh well, they're just wrong".

That said, people who don't know me well think I am cold, arrogant and snobby and I admit fully that this is an air I give off. It bothers me that people think that but at the same time it doesn't cuz I guess that's just me to a certain degree. Those who get to know me find out that I also have some good qualities. lol


lol

Agreed nod - but I have a few friends who, upon first impression, we hated each other's guts. lol Then we got to know each other better, realised what the other person was all about, and been great friends ever since. So first impressions (or what people may think *they* see in you) can be wildly inaccurate.

Plus, not forgetting, there's also the thing about letting people see what you want them to see... or what you choose to give away, I mean.

My feelings do get hurt, and often times the response I get back whenever I do mention it is that that couldn't be...sometimes even having to had to get into it about why my feelings should or should not be hurt rather than about what made them so.

In that case, for me personally, I have to disagree. rose hug


Ok, something like this is something I can definitely understand because we are talking about inner...um...personal emotion rather than overt behaviour.

I actually can relate to what you are saying as I have thought the same thing many times. Because I am a strong personality, and not overly openly emotional, people tend to think that I don't feel things on a deep personal level...but of course I do.

Did that make sense?

There are a couple of common misconsceptions people have of me that I find intriguing. One is due to the fact that I am pretty sociable and always wanting to find out more about people. People find this to be weird and think I have some sort of agenda, when in all actuallity, I'm really just an outgoing guy with lots of love for the world.

The other common misconceptions is folks tend to mistake my kindness for weakness. I could write a whole book about this, but shall digress?

What are some common misconceptions folks have of you?



People think Im stuck up. I like to socialize, but when it comes to meeting new people, I tend to shut down. So I rarely talk to anyone other than the people in my "circle". This makes me look stuck up sad
Say it's just a dream...
U open up ur eyes and come 2 realize
u simply imagined this
So u lean over and give her a kiss
Here on earth, here on earth,
with u it's not so bad
Here on earth, here on earth
eye don't feel so sad
Stay right here

i really am, unless socially lubricated with booze or chronic.

people always think i am lying when i say i am ridiculously shy about meeting new people. superspaceboy had to practically drag me to the first invasion i went to, because i was freaking out and the shyness was overwhelming me.

the worst part about it is when i do theatre. people want to meet me after the show and hug me, and it FREAKS me out. i never know what to say, i can't take a compliment to save my life, and strangers rushing at me with their arms out about gives me a nervous twitch.

i made my hotel reservation, by the way. i can't believe they made me pay for one of the nights just to make a reservation, but it's kind of good in a way. it means more money to blow when i get down there.
