about 90% of people who meet me assume that i'm shy (i can assure you that i'm not- unless i'm speaking to someone that i really admire), about 5% of people who meet me assume that i am rude / aloof (i'm definately not, in any circumstance) and the other 5% of people who meet me say "aww, you're so sweet!" which makes me want to tell them to f**k off. ugh, it's so patronising. it makes me feel like someone's pet gerbil, or something.
anyone else get the same response?
EVERYONE thinks I am younger than I am (v. tiny, v. little face, big eyes), and this plus handwringiness leads them to believe on first meeting me that I'm a shy retiring 7th or 8th grader. Usually not too bright.
Then they talk to me like I'm not too bright. Oops. Then I become an aggressive butthead, or aloof, depending on mood at the time.
"You're so cuuuuuuuute" makes me want to BARF.
