Things people would be surprised to know about you.

[scnj]

I'm a student, so people automatically assume that I party constantly, so they're surprised to find out that I never go out to nightclubs and haven't had alcohol in around 16 months.

When I came to uni, I was very extroverted and made friends very quickly (I also danced on a table after shotgunning several energy drinks) so people are always shocked to know that in school I had very few friends and was very shy.

I walk around with a smile on my face and endeavour to make people laugh, so it's usually quite a surprise to know that I suffer from manic depression a lot of the time, but I hate telling people because I'm afraid they'll treat me differently if they know.

I am learning a combination of gymnastics, martial arts and break-dancing.

It's a slow process, but I can do some of it alright.

XMA/tricking?

XMA/tricking?

Yes. It's great, I really enjoy it.

That my IQ is around 150 , That I do not care about the past just the present, That I like some sports , That I am kind of religious and...well I could go on but I got allot of things people do not know about me. But if people ask me I will tell them.

Most people who know me don't realise how much of a nerd I am. They see a well dressed partier with a penchant for expensive clothing and my leather jacket (+hood, a la Alex Mercer) and who has far more female friends than male friends. They don't know that I've clocked up several MONTHS in WoW, and have blown off social gatherings to finish a game of Civ, or to play Morrowind.

Most people are surprised to hear me talk to my best friend in depth about gaming mechanics, developers, and gaming culture in general.

Oh, and I'm exclusively left-handed for 3 months, while I'm normally a righty. Typing this with only the one hand.

Edit: I also work as a salesman at a popular Australian technology store. I made anywhere between 500 and a 1000 AUD a week when I was working full time. I single-handedly moved $33,000 worth of stock in a weekend. The underhanded nature of my profession is at odds with the course I'm doing at university. I'm studying to become a Psychologist, because I had my life saved by one, and I want to spend my life helping others in the same capacity. Many people know my choice of study, but not even a handful know my reasons.

For someone who acts like I do, that's not normally the first conclusion.

 

[CactiComplex]

I'm a girl.

Seriously (though I get mistaken for a guy frequently on-line and off), um... I guess on-line people would be surprised to know I have a history of mental illness and rarely talk to people 9partly 'cause I have trouble speaking due to permanent chronic paraesthesia in part of my face), and off-line they'd be surprised to know I'm gay. Not that I hide it, it's just not obvious for whatever reason. I guess the talking thing would surprise them to, on-line I tend to forget how to shut up. And my almost-kinda-possibly Pagan beliefs. And my interest in politics.

Actually, I think people in RL would be surprised by pretty much everything...

Honestly? - I am in between jobs and here in this area it's been hell to find one and people feel sorry for me all the time, but what they don't know is: I actually enjoy being a housewife and a caretaker to this house.

Not only that, we can definitely afford me being a housewife. My husband doesn't mind and has found he enjoys having someone at home. Don't get me wrong, if we couldn't afford it, I'd continue to try and get back to work. I wouldn't sit home and let us decline and end up homeless.

But believe it or not, my happiness with it - rubs a lot of people the wrong way. What is sad to me is, if I could pop out a few demon-spawn then they'd leave me alone. But not only do I not like kids in the first place, physically (I did go to the doctors) having children doesn't look like an option for me. Then again, I shouldn't have to have them to force people to let me be happy in my own way.

 

[WolfThomas]

That I'm a really nice guy who goes out of his way to make people comfortable and happy. That I hunt and enjoy shooting. People are quite surprised when they learn one of these after the other. Most of the people are from the city and people have less awareness/knowledge of guns in Australia.

Also I pluck my eyebrows.

 

[Arcticflame]

I am completely uninteresting. So uninteresting.. it's SHOCKING.

Yes. It's great, I really enjoy it.

I know, we use parts of it for when my Taekwondo klub does shows

Self-Explanatory. Post something about yourself that people over the internet or in real life would be surprised to know about you.

For one, I have both ADHD and Bipolar. People don't usually suspect that since I can't really get any calmer than I am. I don't snap too often either and I know how to ignore people (To a certain extent)

Over the internet, people might not know that I am completely unsocial and avoid every social situation possible. I find conversations awkward and am reluctant to ever start a conversation. My social skills are absolute crap. If I can avoid the situation I do, but if not, I try to isolate myself as much as possible and not stand out.

Oh, right, and I'm 15 and I'm a guy. Avatar gives the wrong impression and I'm not an idiot who uses bad grammar and spelling in every post like most other peers...

Where have ya been all my life?

I have autism. Not to the degree that i'm developmentally challenged, but i'm still antisocial to the degree that it reaches full blown misanthropy. Yet i tend to get along with people who are socially awkward due to mental illness or mental scars (Or a combination of both as it often is).


Though i'm open about this, and it doesn't fit with the topic. What people don't know about me is that the reason i go out of my way to be honest is because lying is too easy for me. It isn't out of a sense of "Lying is bad" or personal honor, it's because i'm such a convincing liar i had to be honest in order to challenge myself, my way of staving off self-flagellation.

 

[e2density]

I'm ranked about 85th percentile when it comes to penis length. 8)

 

[Veldel]

That I am obssesed with catgirls and even tho I put on a face for most people I honestly dont value human life nor do I really have many human emotions


My family other then my mother has no idea I dont belive in god or anything I just find the whole thing of religion to bogus and a joke


I dont belive there is any true justice or evil as they are merly words who are used by those who percive as what is justice or evil to them

 

[Samwise137]

I'm a triathlete. Not iron man or anything but I can complete a standard triathlon. People look at me and just see geek but I'm actually reasonably athletic. I'm not a particularly strong swimmer though so I normally run in a team consisting of my girlfriend (swimmer) my buddy (runner) and me (biking).

 

[MartianWarMachine]

I like War of the Worlds.

But seriously, I can't think of anything. Sorry to have wasted your time.

 

[Sacman]

I doubt that I can surprise anyone who knows me online...But offline is a whole different story...

Same here... I'm like a completely different person... and more depressing if that's even possible... also your new avatar... it's creepy as hell... I love it...<.<

 

[Korten12]

I am the most interesting man in the world.

"But I thought you were a gir-"

Stay thirsty, my friends.

Wait... What!? I thought- your avatar- what..!?

 

[Darwins_Folly]

That I own my own construction company.
People IRL are surprised to learn how big of a geek I actually am.

 

[MassiveGeek]

Uuuuhhh

Hm.

My bra size is 65E(EU) or 30DD(UK)?

I dunno. -shrug-

 

[ipop@you]

my penis is really big, it goes from a-z on the keyboard, hell yes

That's an impressive self burn. That makes you what, under 1cm? lol

Stupid Troll is stupid -_-

OT: 1. I'm occasionally psychotic and i want to kill some people all of the time yet I hate fighting, however people always think i like fighting because of my thick scouse (North-west Englad, Liverpool) accent.
2. I'm a black belt third dan in ju-jitsu, no one would espect this from looking at me as I'm a small nerdy guy.
3. I play WoW, people don't expect this of me as they think that I just sit at home and read books all day.
4. I am a huge Tolkien nerd, I have first edition copies of The Silmarillion, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings (they were my grandads, he left them to me when he died), plus I have the one ring poem in black speech on a canvas in my living room. (done by an excellent caligrapher friend)
