The worst assumption ever made about me was that my parents assumed I wanted circumcised and would just be fine with it, I absolutely have hated since I was a child and hate it today. I’ve restored to undo some of the damage.
That I have a lower intelligence or are poor just because of the geographical region I live in (Appalachia). Bitch, I used to make 7 figures, and I retired at 54.
When I meet new peers at work and they assume my experience is less than it is because I look younger than I am, or when they assume they know about my background only for them to find out that I used to work in Engineering and worked with million dollar equipment that would generate $100K+ weekly revenue for the company.
Never assume you know anyone’s background. We’ve all walked different paths.
When I was younger, I was always kind and helpful to others because I wanted to be nice to people. So, many people either assumed I must have ulterior motives and treated me badly or that I should be used and manipulated into giving more than I wanted. I wish I could have just been nice and been appreciated for it.
An ex girlfriend poisoned the opinions of me in a whole heap of people’s minds in my home-town. After having had to spend an evening with me to see a live show at the local bar, several of these people offered me an apology for initially believing her stories, and assumed I was an asshole – saying that I was actually a really nice guy and they felt bad for letting her influence their perceptions before they’d even met me.
Said ‘ex’ was later disbanded from all friendly circles for eventually showing her true colours and being found out that she, herself, is indeed the asshole.
That because I’m a white southern boomer that I think anthropogenic climate change is a hoax or that I agree with their evangelical Christian views or that I worship the Orange One. Wrong, wrong, and very, very, wrong
I’m humble enough to know that I know very little, but my silence is no indication of how quickly I can figure you out. If I were any less of a man, I could easily expose your weaknesses, break you down, and/or exploit you for my own benefit.
But I’m not that person.
I pity people who present themselves as all-knowing…they’re the easiest to take advantage of.
That I was a woman, because I had long hair at the time. To be fair I was going down a flight of stairs and the lady behind me only saw the back of my head. Boy was she surprised when I turned around
That im Mexican and can speak Spanish. Italian/Sicilian in heritage and i tan incredibly easy, have thick dark hair, and I shave down to a mustache. Especially when i was living in the Western US people would just walk up speaking Spanish to me. I need to learn at this point, if for no other reason than this keeps happening.

I’m not trying to take advantage of you, I’m just dumb as hell.
Underestimating my intelligence.

That because I’m a woman I’m a pushover. Honey, I’ve been at this a long time, you will not push me around.
I’m slightly autistic and have a small speech impediment so I get confused for being lower IQ.
The assumption was, that my calm and friendly temper endless is…
