I think this question is for me.
What's the one thing people always misunderstand about you?

I'm a very quiet person and I love my space a lot. I hate to be disturbed when I'm working or trying to get things done.
It is very difficult for me to flow with you when I don't know you or we are meeting for the first time. I usually keep my distance for a while until my brain tells me it's okay

Before now, I could be at home for weeks without coming out of the gate. At a time, my mom used to encourage me to visit friends.
I could watch the television for hours without being hungry and when I'm not doing that, I could finish reading a lengthy novel in a day.
People ask how I do it, but it's simple, I take out all distractions and concentrate. I don't even get hungry.

During my service year, I'm always reading novels in my room when I get back from my PPA. Before going, I bought a lot of books to last a long time. The only thing that takes me away from my novels then, was cooking or when I want to get groceries. While cooking, my book is usually still by my side.

Other corp members seldom see me outside.they all concluded that I am proud and I feel too big to talk to them.
They also believe I'm proud because of the way I dress. I always love to look good to wherever I'm going. I make sure to dress neatly and use my sunglasses.

All these gave them another impression about me.
My husband told me he thought I was a proud rich spoilt child before we became friends. But he later noticed I just love to be alone.

Most of them later got to understand me and they had another story to tell.
Till date, most people still get that impression about me before they get to know me.
I'm consciously taking my time to work on it and the work is still ongoing.

Thanks for stopping by.
