Stupid things people judge you on?

[The Night Shade]

My hair (people like it or hate it) and hating most of the popular culture

 

[SilentCom]

I'm not particularly sure what people judge me on because most people generally stay away from me. It could be the acne, dead-inside look, or my low mumbly pedo-voice (someone online said I sounded like a pedophile D= )

I don't like to drink. Some people tell me that I'm boring because I don't see the appeal of being drunk. I apologize, what is it that's so appealing about not being in control of my own actions, throwing up, and getting a headache?

Your comment makes me think you've never drunk. When I drink I'm still in control, I don't vomit unless I've clearly drunk too much and other than a bit of nausea in the morning and lack of balance during the night and after it I don't experience much of a hangover either. No, getting drunk isn't particularly smart but it definitely is (or can be) fun, especially for those of us who suffer from too much anxiety and worry.

I knit. Yes, I knit! I taught myself in August and haven't stopped since! I've been playing games less and less as I knit more and more. I've made quite a few fantastic items, and I'm currently working on my first shirt, which is going very well. I geek out over yarn just as hard as I've ever geeked out over any videogame, AND I LOVE IT!

God forbid a young girl take up knitting though. I've gotten comments that run from "don't you have to be 65 to do that" to "when's the baby due". Because only the elderly and the knocked up can use two sticks and some yarm to make something fantastic, apparently!

 

[Xeros]

I have long hair, a chin beard, and I wear a black skullcap. I get solicited for drugs quite often. I'm also partial to wearing my black, leather trench coat when it's chilly outside which gets me lots of worried looks, and inquiries as to what kind of weapon I'm currently carrying, or whether, or not I'm familiar with explosives.

 

[deserteagleeye]

The fact that I'm tall and not good at basketball even though I'm great at football, volleyball, and swimming. 3 out of 4 is good enough, right?

 

[Z of the Na'vi]

I am sometimes judged for not having a girlfriend despite being completely straight. It isn't that I have lost interest in dating, it's that I have not made any actual attempt at companionship since my Junior year of High School.

Now that I am just finishing my Sophomore year in College, I am sometimes approached and asked if I am homosexual. I don't quite know how to respond to such a claim, so I merely tell them the truth.

Since when is it a public taboo for a straight guy not wanting a girlfriend due to his heart having been broken quite a few times in the past?

[Subwayeatn]

Being Russian means that i have to be a soulless murderer to some people. I also give off radioactive fumes.

No, thats a sign that YOU. ARE. AWSOME.

*wipes a tear* I always wanted to be... awesome.

 

[Womplord]

The main things:

-Being shy/quiet
-Having red hair
-Not smiling enough
-Being weird/enigmatic
-Having 'scary' eyes (bright/peircing blue)


Yes, people ALWAYS tell me to smile more and it's a bit annoying... and the red hair thing doesn't really happen anymore, but I got a lot of crap in school for it.

 

[LordZutaki]

i have long hair, i wear it in a ponytail, and i donate it every year, yet people think i am a female bum

 

[Anarchemitis]

Thankfully I have yet to be belittled because of my faith in Christ personally, in real life or online. People are more respectful than to persecute, it seems.

 

[SillyBear]

I get called "weird" a lot. It is usually because I show more personality than most people and I am passionate about what I believe in and I tell stories with lots of emotion. So yeah, I guess that's weird. I also get judged and teased because I listen to old music. That really annoyed me. Some stupid ***** from my class saw I was listening to Crosby and she started laughing at me. What, I'm only allowed to listen to new music? Wow, what a cultured person you are. Ignorant *****. Rawr.

 

[FalloutJack]

A million people I never met judge me every day because of the console I have or that I'm not on a PC instead. People like that really need to find a better way to spend their time.

 

[Bigsmith]

My furious, manly attitude and casual homophobia. I make a terrible gay, but here I am, four years in a relationship and never anything more heterosexual than one kiss.

Long hair
My odd sense of fashion, this being suits, waist coats and bowler hats (unless I cycle to college, then I don't)

Waist coats = fukken' stylish.

Also pocket watches, pocket watches everywhere. I would also be wearing my steam punk goggles but my GF lost em. D:

 

[kellith1stnonly]

My wardrobe is about 95% black, and I've gotten a lot of the usual, "Why do you wear so much black? You'd look so much better with some color. Black doesn't suit you-- you should try this ugly tropical dress instead, blah blah blash...". I tried wearing other colors before, but I always just ended up feeling out of place and not myself, so I decided to just say "Fuck it" and do what I want.

I also have a boss who makes fun of me for reading in my spare time (WTF) and always bringing a sandwich to eat for lunch.. guess he thinks I should be going out for every meal and pissing my minimum-wage salary away. He's a dick and the exception to just about everyone I know, but I'll still be glad to be rid of him in a couple months. ^__^

 

[Erana]

Started college at 14? Is trying for graduate schools at 19? Clearly she is emotionally unstable and/or extremely immature. (Seriously, how do people jump to that conclusion..?)

Oh, and my Asian Studies minor, while entirely focused on learning about what the hell is/was going on in the rest of the world and I don't really care for anime...
Well, Fuck Yeah Art Student Owl has tons of images on the stigma anything anime-related in fine art.

I am often judged based on my:
enjoment of certain mainstream things (it gets me called a sheep).
enjoyment of less widely accepted stuff alongside my dislike of certain mainstream things (it gets me called a hipster).
reading of comic books.(I usually hear the "omg comics are for 8 year olds")
playing any video games other than an fps. (Pokemon gets hit the hardest, even though the same people mocking my playing recent pokemon games are themselves playing older ones on their phones )
atheism

I saw the first like 9-10 minutes of Scott Pilgrim and felt like I could kill someone if I saw anymore. I see it as "Hot Topic nerd", that kind of ironic, "i'm a nerd because it allows me to use lame catchphrases" and such. People lose their shit over this cinematic abortion and don't get why I don't.

My love of that movie gets me judged as a hipster. Also, I guess being lumped into the same group as the idiots that shop at hot topic because i like 1 franchise hipsters also like counts as well.
Also, what do you even mean by ironic in that context?

 

[Trolldor]

Ok, basically, i am going to join the RAF (British) as an engineering officer. To get into Welbeck, a Armed Forced College, i have to go through an interview physical tests and another interview. Now, i joined the Air Cadets because it would give me an edge in the interviews and help in the long run. I have told a few 'mates' of this and they laughed. People always say 'Your in the air cadets, saddo'. Obviously, they don't understand why but there you go.
Question to you:
Do you do things that people call you sad for?





P.S, Here is a song which you can sing along to =)

A forum name.

I mean, it's amazing how simple-minded some people are.
Sort of depressing too.
