Community: What people don’t see
Each week, we gather our community’s wisdom. This week, we asked:
What’s something that people assume about you or your life?
"That I'm so lucky and have it so easy. But I live with an incurable invisible illness."
"That I have always been the person I am today, the good and the bad."
"That I'm extremely intelligent and get good grades all the time."
"Some people read negative intent into my words."
"That I'm a boring homebody, although I've travelled to 44 countries and live abroad for 1.5 years."
"People think I've got it all together."
"That because I always smile I am happy all the time. I actually struggle with anxiety."
"That I am an emotionless person."
"That I must be conservative because I'm a Christian."
"That I am selfish."
"That I'm happy and extroverted. I'm actually extremely introverted."
"That I am a calm person when the reality is I have anxiety and take medicine to control it."
"That I'm a bitch."
"That I'm always happy and need company."
"That I'm shy."
"That it all comes easy."
"That I'm arrogant! I blame my strong facial features."
"I'm superficial."
"That I'm lazy because I struggle with motivation."
"That I have it all figured out. I'm falling apart."
"That I'm an extrovert. I have just learned to fake it."
