Today’s question is:
What’s the one thing that people always misunderstand about you?
A lot of people think I don’t like them when they first meet me, especially if it’s in a group setting.
I have an amazing case of resting bitch face.
I’m super uncomfortable talking in groups of people until I get to know everyone.
Pair those two together and it looks like I basically hate everyone. Especially since I tend to look people in the eye when they talk. It seriously looks like I’m giving each person the stink eye when really I’m just being attentive to what they’re saying.
I actually make a conscious effort to put a different look on my face when I first enter into a group but it’s easy to lose focus of that once I get engrossed in the ongoing conversation.
What about you?
What’s the one thing that people always misunderstand about you?
People sometimes assume I’m shy, when in reality I’m an introvert with zero desire to make small talk.

Small talk is so hard for me. Lets talk about deep subjects!
I used to think I was an extrovert, and maybe I was at one point, but recently I have become more and more introverted.

Same for me, they always think I’m angry with them or I’m feeling superior, but I really just trying to keep eyes contact and my face is tense for anxiety.

Anxiety is the reason I almost never speak in groups. It really does make it hard for new people to get to know me until I fell comfortable enough to open up.
