Have you guys ever met people who assume you are slow because you :
A. watch cartoons(anime included)/play games
B.a shy person
C. Have introverted characteristics
D. All of the Above.
I really don't see the problem with a person wanting to stay home and watch anime/play games instead of hanging with a crowd of people or partying.No,I'm not saying partying is bad or hanging with people is bad but I've met people who criticized others for being introvert or liking certain things. I'm not a complete introvert because I have some extrovert characteristics (ambivert) but I met people who fail to understand that nothing is wrong with me. I remember I was at college and people kept coming to my room at 6-8 pm to hang out and it bothered me because I was just getting out of class and wanted to relax and gather my thoughts and do my homework. I told these people that I needed a little time to collect myself because I was drained of energy and I need to relax and have some time alone and I was called mean.Sometimes I maybe be at a gathering and I might just sit down quietly and someone say"Oh, is that girl slow?"I tend to have to tell these people off and make them eat their words. I remember I was hanging out with my cousin and her friends asked her if I was slow because I didn't use slang.She told me what they say and I had to confront them. I even met people who think I'm slow because I watch anime and play games.I was told that I show look at "reality tv"< isn't most of that stuff fake and staged? Some of my family members think I'm wasting my life away by chilling at home.I don't know if they forget I'm trying to pursuit a career in nursing...I mean they do know that I'm in college. One of my family members told me she doesn't want me to waste my life and be sad when I get older so I shouldn't be in my room a lot because it"unhealthy to have introvert tendencies ".She also told me I should change the way I act. I asked her if she wants me to just start acting fake around her because it seems like she can't accept me for me. I can be shy at times and someone asked if I was slow because they felt that "shy people are slow."....Sometime I can go out and have fun and be really active but it really depends on the situation and who I'm with. A lot of people (students at my college and people who don't know me well)assume I'm a super social butterfly because I'm a bit more energetic in public and at school. Almost forgot to add this: when I was in highschool people flocked to me because of my clothing but assumed I was failing class because I was quite.They were shocked when I ranked 3rd in my class.
Are any of you guys dealing with people who assume you are slow because of the type of person you are and what you like?

I agree.

I do not see the fun in parties at all. Okay, I get to talk to people over loud music, so what? Okay, people dance. I don't like to dance. I don't drink either so I'm not gonna join people in stupid shit. People were annoying me to go to Prom but I told em I'd rather not and they all had a hard time understanding for some reason. Some of my friends do stupid shit and they think I have a stick up my ass for not joining them.

Also, my dad thinks I'm less intelligent for watching anime. That is a pretty dumb assumption.

He thinks it's for kids because it has fictional elements. Even though before I was born he used to watch American Dad.

You must be young because I think that show came out in '05.You sure you didn't mean family guy?

Lol, really? Then he watched it while I was a kid. He probably just said before I was born because he doesn't like me watching those shows, which I do, all the time.

Wait what lmao? That show is like less than 10 years old :lol.

OT:

I didn't start going to parties and embracing that lifestyle until like Junior year of high school. I didn't drink ti'll about that time either. I don't really even like drinking it's more of something I do with my friends to chill. I'd rather sit out and drink a few beers than go to a party and get wasted.

Something odd about me maybe is I don't actively chase after females. If they come the come(;)) but otherwise I don't try at all. My friends think I'm weird for that but I don't see the point in it. I'm leaving for the Air Force soon(Hopefully) so what's the point of starting a relationship that I'll just have to end.

There's a lot of people who have relationships in the military with someone who is far away.

I don't see the point. Especially from my home town that I'll return to one week out of a year at most. I can understand meeting a girl and her going with me to each base, but leaving her behind in a place I'll never be is just cruel.

I watch cartoons, play games, am quiet, and am introverted, but I have never been accused as being slow for any of these things, although I can see why one might be. I was questioned by a teacher once though for a whole different reason. On a math problem, I tried to solve it the opposite way or I wrote it a certain way. I knew it wasn't the right way, but I thought it was an alternative. Such a small moment, but I still remember it. I felt stupid for trying to think differently.

Anyway, everybody should just do themselves and be happy. Have no worries.

Whatever someone thinks of me, nothing will change. I decide what to do with my life and I know the best for my interest. It's me after all leading to better life I live.

Some people assume I lack street smart..because I don't use slang. Apparently booksmarts doesn't matter to them.I remember some guys ASSumed I was "easy" and was trying to see if they could screw me because they though I was only booksmart and they decided to call me slow so I just started to manipulate their feelings and after maybe 20 minutes I told them I angered the for fun because they assumed I was slow and easy.
