Ever notice there seem to be stereotypes that go with different outward personalities?

If you're sweet, you're simple

If you're silly, you're stupid

If you're quiet, you're sullen

If you're reserved, you're a snob

If you're hyper, you're crazy

If you're outspoken, you're mean


Do you think you've ever been categorized by one of these or other personality stereotypes?

Do you feel that you surprise people that you're not what they thought as they come to know you better?

Or do you get stuck in your stereotype and just can't seem to shake it?

mmm...I get sterotyped into the whole "nieve, stupid and unapproachable" in real life...in actuality, I just keep my mouth shut unless I have something to say with facts to back it up (in the case of catching a cheating ex. It's not that I don't know what he's doing. It's that I'm waiting for him to finish digging his grave and put the headstone on it before I confront him) As to unapproachable, I'm just more comfortable with a small group of close friends that I can be myself with. Around new people or people I don't know well, I tend to be really quiet until I get to know them, and then decide how much I can loosen/open up.

What I'm saying is do people get the wrong impression of you based on your outward personality. For instance haven't you ever met a person you thought was very shy, who was actually a concert pianist who played in front of thousands regularly. That's a very big extreme...but you get it.
