People think I want Buhari to Take over power. 2. People think I'm happy to be a Nigerian. 3. People think I'm a cultist. 4. People think I'm a Genius!

People mistake my Self-esteem for Pride *sobbing*

People think am good.

People often have misconception about us which judge the way they treat us in return....


Startin with me, I have a somewhat 'clueless innocent' look which make people think i must be a slow poke or something until they move closer to me and find otherwise.

Now over to you NLers, can you share your experiences here and how you have been able proved them wrong?

For me I have the look of a smoker and a drinker (beers and hot) but I don't smoke or drink,hence the misconception from people until they come closer like in ur case too. Then people see me as bad guy in term of womanizing meanwhile most time na jeje I de dey wey ladies dey come to me o..

I'm 100% introvert, I keep to myself a lot. People just assume that I'm arrogant, I'm far from arrogant

People think am an introvert, dat I dnt really talk, until they get close and see that am actually different from what they think.

I am you, just worse. I can see your experience is even good since they retrace their steps. In my case, if I protest how I'm treated, that itself becomes the problem because they've decided how I must be based on their own poor perception of me. Sadly, over time, the sheer weight of everyone seeing you a particular way rubs off on you yourself and you start to subconsciously see yourself that way or engage in a battle with yourself about it. It's a tough life

ppl think am......

....pretty

most chickx tink m a playa and some dudes tink m gay



Bt deep dwn insida me idgaf

Tattooboy:
....pretty

lol

Most ladies see me as conceited but i'm by default a very shy introvert until we close-up.

I look good all d time and flow futuristic, girls think I'm a husband material. But technically I am a player in d game

People think I am dull and unintelligent until I daze them in competition with my high IQ?

Well, pple think I am proud, a snub, domineering, too principled and strict. Maybe der r ryt, maybe der r not! Dnt knw sha.

People think I'm proud because I don't talk to many people or more around in a group...
I kinda keep my circle tight

However, when they get closer, they discover I'm actually very shy, extremely shy!

Vince77:
Mine is jst much.... bt d common ones is that im not fun to be with cos i dont talk much but friends who r close to me are d ones who beg me to shut up sometimes wen i start talking long..... and anothr is dat some pple tink i dnt reli hv plans for my life cos i hv gone tru alot of failures.... but i kw i will get there gradually...

These are jst d two common ones.. tho they r many.

You would get there by God's grace!!

:-XPeople think I am gentle but I am a bad guy

People think am boring,a snub and dumb cos I've got an innocent looking face..but am just a good girl with a bad side that's trying so hard to come out!..I actually want my bad girl side out..so people can see I am not boring..am a girl of few words but it doesn't mean I am boring

Snobbish, arrogant, attitude problem, ''full of himself'', ''takes life too seriously''.

That I am a runs girl which is utterly wrong.

Misconceptions are based on expectations and what is believed to be the norm. I'm thought of as a mean cold guy. I'm guided by two things. Fairness and firmness. In business I'm an objective prude. Amongst friends and I dare say very very few I'm loyal and can tell you the truth. Since I know misconceptions are based on expectations I'm not bothered but I look in the mirror, tell myself the truth. Learn new things. Forgive myself and others. I'm no saint.

That am a womaniser.
1. Probably cos of ma attractive look.

2. They think am too secretive. The truth is why should I open my anus to them? When I don't know who ll like it.

3. They said I m too simple. Yeah. I don't v to be a wizard.

But when I notice someone's not worth it, I show such people my other side.Last Bullet

Don't really care about what people think of me.

nickz:
Proud(cause I don't talk to many people)
Nice (cause I love helping)

. Same here bro and I like it that way

You want your bad side out so ppl start thining u r lively, do u live ur life for them, if no then u dont turn bad to please some ppl.

well, people think I'm a snub and a mysogynist esp. them ladies. I just know how to put them ladies in a proper way esp. if they come trespassing. you never know she could be learning, earning and at the same time burning her man. i don't take bull, nutting but a g'thang that's me.

Pompous
