What stereotype do you fit that you wish you didn’t?

1. I’m a bad driver. I’ve never had an accident but I’m nervous and TERRIBLE at parking and reversing. It really annoys me that I live up to the “women are bad drivers/can’t park” stereotype.

   (For context I’m in the UK. In writing this I’ve realised that I don’t know if this is a stereotype in other countries!?)

4. Exceeding expectations as a child, burning out by 21, spending the next few years trying to rebuild who I am from scratch. I’m happy where I am now but I wish pressures on children didn’t turn so many of us into broken young adults who jump between coping mechanisms and become vulnerable to the worst of the world.

5. Blonde.

6. I am fat, fair, female and 40. My gallbladder is basically a single stone.

7. Ordering fries only and then wanting his meal…

8. my zodiac sign sadly

10. The pretty girl. People always assume I’m dumb or something and the I don’t have any talent. But I’m actually good at a lot of things, they just don’t wanna see this side

11. Being boujee – I like to dress nice, I take care of my skin, nails and hair, I keep myself groomed, I like obnoxious jewelry and big hoop earrings… you know the full works! And while I totally love embracing my more feminine side, I think some people equate the way I present myself with being high maintenance. Which I am not.

12. I have horses…

    And I am rather strange.

    ​

    So I guess I fit the “crazy horse girl” definition?

    Everybody who is a long-time horse owner is a bit odd, farmers are odd, vets are odd…animal people are odd.

13. That fat people are funny. I was funny when I was skinny too.

14. Adult raised in NYC who never learned how to drive

18. Funny, fat black woman

20. People look at me and assume that I smoke weed. They’re right 😂

21. Nerd girl stereotype: brunette, chubby, pale, glasses.

22. I’m not the best at video games. I’m not bad, but big mmo’s or shooters I’m a typical girl. I also hate it because I don’t want to be a girl who only plays animal crossing or the sims (which I do oops) but idk, fast paced games aren’t my jam I guess.

23. Middle aged, frumpy, fat lady.

24. that women are bad drivers bc why am i 19 yo yet cant park the car properly

25. Bisexual goth with depression and anxiety.
    The first two things are great, 10/10. The rest I could do without.

26. Cat lady

27. I really wish my period doesn’t affect my mood.

28. Nerdy, bullied late bloomer.

29. Being the worst driver ever despite having my drivers license for years now

30. Being somewhat “alternative” and being both a leftist and queer. I’ve been described as “visibly queer” and people always assume (correctly) that I am bisexual.
