Do you find people tend to make big general inferences about you, often very wrong, based on some trivial isolated observation or incident?

Usually it's because someone who has a particular bias toward me spoke to them before they had a chance to meet me in person and form their own opinion.  That happened a lot a work.  Thank heaven I don't have to do that anymore.

It has been known to happen.  Most frequently, people think my Avatar is a male and I am a female.

It happens often right here on AM.

I notice that people always think they can guess what I am thinking, and they don't like what they guess.

Is that what you mean?

Sure. People presume a great deal. Now, ask me if it really matters to me...

I cannot control what other people do, much less what they think.  I don't spend time worrying about it unless my paycheck is involved.

Undoubtedly.  Don't all of us do that?   To some extent?  We presume from whatever we know even if it is only a little. 

its possible

  Okay already, enough is enough!  Is this about the sandwiches or about the tildes?  Grrrrrr.
