Put in that context yes I enjoy it. It's the "See I told you so"

No. I want people to know the real me. I don't expect every person to like me for who I really am, but I don't want people to make judgements about me that are false or based on a misunderstanding of me. Sure it can be amusing to prove wrong those who underestimate you, but it gets frustrating after so much of it. I'd so much rather that people just automatically understand me, instead of having to explain or prove anything to them
I don't like being misjudged. I may brush it off, but if it keeps up or I'm in a sensitive mood then it gets me really down....
