Stupid things people judge you on?

[SteinFaust]

DISREGARD. LATE POST.

 

[Dagnius]

People have judged me on:
-Being White (I live in the south (USA))
-Listening to Rock/Metal/Etc
-Being a big guy with long hair and a beard (up until a month ago anyways)
-Being quiet
-My Religious views (*Lack of)
-Playing Video games and watching Anime
-Liking the BlazBlue franchise
-Not having a vehicle

Yeah I could go on. It's really bad for me being in a small southern town (<3k pop) with close to 15 churches and like no jobs. XD

Aside from the obvious reasons?

Being upbeat and smiling all the time.

I'm sorry that my happiness was offending you, i'll be sure to make my problems out to be bigger than they are and wallow in self pity.

Also wearing cat ears in public, but a lot of people like seeing women wearing cat ears so it evens out.

 

[SteinFaust]

Well... I am a LARPer.

Need I say more?

LARPing is just another way to try something new. it's the same reason why people see motion pictures or read books.
to quote Daniel Tosh, "I can't blame people for LARPing. real life sucks."

 

[Yostbeef]

I think I get judged for still playing Magic,I'm 24.I can't help it I just love it,I'd rather spend my Friday night in a poorly ventilated comic shop that at a bar spending money that I don't have on booze.

People at my school are scared of me or think I am a Nazi, because I'm a cadre in AFJROTC, wear combat boots, and a WWII trench coat that the American soldiers used during the winter. I swear to god, I'm just a normal person that likes his military history.

Exactly! But it seems that any activity that isent a sport, drinking or sex, is wrong.

Where else do you get to do this?

 

[Bugerion]

Gamer and no skill in sports.I am really tall and I suck at basketball(not to talk about other sports xD).

Well one of my friends finds it kinda gross that I sniff snuff but don't drink. So it's bad that I get a rush from destroying my nose but it's okay for him to fuck his liver over.

Snuff? Is that vernacular?

im not entirely sure, but i do know that it is a tobacco product. not sure where exactly it came from, or how long it has been around, but african civilizations used it before european conquering as far as i know, so perhaps it is from there.

my taste in music is all i really get judged for that is stupid (people really REALLY don't like dragonforce apparently). my personality however, that causes me to overreact to all the little things, i definitely deserve. well not so much anymore, since it rarely happens. now im just classified as strange, which really isn't saying much considering how batshit crazy everyone else in the school is.

Well I've had some other teenagers scoff at me for:

not wanting to ever get a tattoo or piercing.
Not wanting to waste my saturday night by going to some party to watch people act like idiots
not trying this Bloody Mary mix someone sneaked into school in a water bottle
thinking like an individual :O
refusing to join some people to smoke weed

Frankly, I don't need to mutilate my body, I don't care for parties, I can wait 5 years to drink some alcohol, and I don't need weed, my life is fine without it.

It's unfortunate that trench coats aren't held in high regard anymore, truly it's the best kind of coat.

Atheism...campness...well-spoken accent...unemployment...all sorts.

Yes I'm atheist. No, don't pray for me, you condescending asshole. I don't want to hear how you're going to save me. That's just patronising me, and it's insulting.

Okay, yes, I can be quite camp. I do have my womanly moments. And I have no issues with cross-dressing. I don't do it in public, but I have been...persuaded to do so in private several times. However, this does not make me gay. I do these things because it amuses me, and because I am not afraid of homosexuality. It is not some monster lurking in my closet. If I end up gay because of my camp, then so be it. But I doubt it.

Dresses never made nobody gay.

My accent...ugh, how do I describe this? I come from a city with a totally awful accent. Anybody who knows Stoke-on-Trent knows what I'm talking about. Despite growing up around this accent, my own voice came out incredibly upper-class-sounding and posh. Despite being as filthy as the next peasant. This earned me a lot of mockery...my favourite being,
"Ey, mate, why don't you speak proper like?"
The irony being that I do speak properly...you get it.

And then there's my unemployment. Ahh...I have had my opinion discounted many, many times because I can't get a job.

Oh, this one time in high school, I had the entire class taking the piss out of me because I knew what a necrophiliac was. Apparently I watched a documentary on it.
That would have been a hilarious documentary. But, seriously, I don't remember how I even came across that word.

I used to do things just because i don't care about what anyone thinks and because i think everyone in secondary schools are a bunch of pretentious assholes and the teaching/disciple is incredibly outdated(and because life is about having fun and must of the stuff i did was harmless).But a lot of the students outside my class think i do stuff just because others tell me to and are always trying to get me to do stupid stuff to get a laugh(most of the time i tell them to fuck off).

 

[Nickompoop]

I get judged for:
playing video games
playing Magic: the Gathering
reading Sci-fi/Fantasy books
watching anime/reading manga

But here's the thing: I don't care what most people think about me, so I'm good.

 

[WorldCritic]

I know a lot of people judge me for my long-ish hair, but really I just haven't had time to get it cut for a while.

Oh yeah, and one person judged me because they realized I was Irish. They instantly thought that I drank all the time just because of my last name.

I cant buy cake any more for any family get togethers. I recently had my Birthday, and we needed a second cake (and I dont know much about cake, other then its delicious, and that I like that creamy icing), so I went out to get one my mom said we needed (a fourth sheet). So I went out and got it, brought it back, and then my mom said that it was a wedding cake.

So I'm not allowed to go get cake now, and (I can already tell) every year after this on my b day, I'm going to be asked if I'm getting Married.

People also seem to have a problem with my accent (or apparent lack thereof). My dad is in the military, so we travel around the US a lot. I have never been rooted in an area of the us for longer than 3 years. So my accent encompasses almost all the regions of the US (north, east, west, south). I don't understand why people have a problem with my accent.

 

[RastaBadger]

Having long hair and watching Star Trek mainly. Some other small things but those are the main two.

I was walking home yesterday and I saw a trail of blood leading up the road. I pointed at it and said to my friend "Is that blood? I think that's blood!"

A woman walking towards us immediately stopped in her tracks, stared at the floor, and muttered at me (in what I would describe as a 'posh' voice) "lower-class shit..."

I was literally speechless. I didn't know what to say until a long time after she'd passed us by. The stuck-up whore! The worst part is, I have no idea what it was about my appearance or behaviour that could have drawn her to this conclusion. I was in school uniform, so it wasn't my clothes. My hair's not particularly outrageous. My voice, whilst definitely Yorkshire-sounding, is neither common nor rough. Apparently she just drew this judgment out of thin air. I guess some people are just like that.


Graaar. It makes me angry.

I have to ask; why didn't you stop her and ask?

Being a high-schooler who does have to spend the majority of his time in uniform I can sympathasize, but I seriously would have stopped this women and ask what her problem was...
