Do people habitually underestimate you?

I don’t put much out there till I know you. I get underestimated all the time, but I like it like that. I don’t use it to my advantage unless you screw with me. Then you might get a nasty surprise.

Although I’m not underestimating you lady.

People overestimate me a lot, so I take advantage of that by hiding in shadows and am satisfied in not having to prove shit I didn’t do anything to start. Not my fault I don’t like going to parties and crap.

@Symbeline I’d hang with you lady.

@Adirondackwannabe You know I would too. Let’s go camping damnit.

I’ve been underestimated by some for a long time. At first I was greatly annoyed, but as I grew up I figured out it had a good side too, so I let them think what they’d like to think. I sometimes take advantage of being underestimated too, with those who deserve it.

I’ve given people who look me down some nasty surprise at some point anyway.

Now, that I haven’t worked in a career for years it does happen sometimes. It doesn’t last long though.

Yes. I’m short and blonde. It comes with the territory.

I used to be a good pool shark back in the day.

I’m guessing anyone who underestrimates you get’s their head handed to them.

It’s not that other people underestimate me; if anything, the challenge is when they assume that I think and act as they do. When I don’t, they don’t understand why.

Have you ever been in a situation where a task is given to two people and they approach it differently, yet they net similar results? I have. As someone not strategic by nature, it takes more time to to muddle through the details. Instinct says to jump in and adjust along the way. This method can get messy, but the end result usually comes out the same.

What I’ve learned from experience and feedback is to utilize others with strategy as a strength and those that are involved. It takes longer than doing it myself, but the end result is a better resolution.

They all seem to but, being the honest Boy Scout that I am, I cannot take advantage of it.

Yes, and they have my entire life. If they piss me off badly enough because they aren’t respecting me as an intelligent human being, I definitely use it to my advantage to some degree.

I think I am the opposite. I’m a 6’ 130 pound nerd. I get jobs for looking frail. Bird-boy can do no wrong with those fragile limbs.. When I worked shit jobs I stole more than I ever made in wages.

Nope. I get asked to do responsible jobs and I think, “Who me?” I underestimate myself.
