You Underestimate my Powers Options

[EddieV]

How do you feel when someone underestimates you? Does it happen a lot? How do you deal with it?

[*Programmer*]

it's funny because the person is shocked when you prove that you can do it.

[EddieV]

^ Yeah people can't believe I can carry 250 lbs on my back. I picked up my 265 lbs friend, and did an F5 on him. Everyone was like HOLY SH*T!

[demolished]

whats f5 ?

[Chii]

i hate it when tourists ask me if i speak english than ask for directions. i dress like a preppy white girl, no sh*t i speak english! if i dyed my hair or changed my eye color i could most likely pass as white.

i just get mad and stomp away


this other time the attendance something or other guy from my old high school tried to kick me out of school because i cut too much. he was all "we don't need you here, do you know how many students i have discharged? this morning i have gotten 5 calls to discharge students!" in my head i was like, people call you because this is your job

he underestimated my intelligence, he thought that i was an idiot with like 5 credits since i rarely showed up in school junior year. but then he pulled up my transcript and realized that i'm not a dumb ass and then he was like "you can stay here if you try to come to school more. i think you can do it, you're a smart girl." i was sick of the school and that guy so i decided to be discharged anyway. did he really think that i'd want to stay after what he said to me?

i hate most people...or is it most people hate me?

[*Programmer*]

^ aww i feel ya.


im puertorican mutt i get asked those type of questions all the time. people look at me like im crazy when i speak perfect english haha

[xmkaex]

people underestimate me because im short..

but i don't really care

[NgocQuyen]

blehh people underestimate me all the time...it kind of makes me furious too..
well, first of all guys love to pick on me because i'm short and small...like pick on me like make fun of me and such, not like my guy friends messing with me, but i just get "crunk"...hahaha heyy...atleast they don't mess with me anymore
and people also think i'm not so smart because when i don't need to be serious i prefer to just have fun...well, when report cards come i sure do put that high honor roll certificate in their face....
when people underestimate me i just prove them wrong...if i know they're wrong then i make sure they know it, but if they're not wrong then i MAKE them be wrong....

[EddieV]

whats f5 ?

A wrestling move where you lift someone on your back and throwing them into a 90 degree spin thus landing their head on your shoulder.

Something very much like this

[*stephinika*]

^^
the image isn't working.

but yes. often. i get overestimated in school/grades...but underestimated in dance (only sometimes) or just by other people because i tend to be an outgoing, not so serious person, but i can be when needed. but yea...i do get underestimated a lot. and i don't like it. i try to prove people are wrong when i know they are.

[Anielka]

^ Hells yeah.

Should be working now...

[AnnahhbeL]

i hate it when people think that i'm a kid just because i look really young. like crap, i'm tuning 14. they always think that i cant do anything, but in the end, its always me better than them.

i hate it when people think that i'm stupid. i always get better grades than them and they dont believe me. when i got my report card, i get a 95.2, i'm like, "in your face!" hahaha. and they're like, "phhhsss..yea right. i never said that you're stupid."

what liers ^ i hate it when people underestimate me..

[steezahh]

people underestimate me by saying that im not the pink power ranger..
but i am. gosh.

but literally people think that im really stupid.. but i get really good grades... and people think im lazy cause i never wanna go out with them to a movie.. but the real deal is i hate them.
and people say i suck at basketball.. yet howmany games have i won? psh.

i guess those are ways people underestimate me.

[jnukes]

on the basketball court .. during a game . if i try to get a rebound, but someone taller gets it, they laugh .



then the next rebound i jump higher and get it over everyone else and everyone looks at each other like

[voguelove]

no. they always over estimate me cause im asian.

[Gigi]

I don't think I've really encountered that before...if anything, people overestimate my powers.

Oh, but there is sports. In athletic stuff people always underestmate me. I don't really have a reaction, because I know where they're coming from; they have reason to. I'm pretty bad.

[crazeegirl411]

People underestimate me most that they can put me down because I'm "quiet, shy" or most of all, sensitive. Because I cry in front of people a lot. They don't know that if I have something to stand for myself on, I can be really strong.

[EddieV]

Most people underestimate me with my physical strength, and my ability to fight. So you can say a lot of people try to jump me, waiting for a special surprise.

and people overestimate me because since I'm Asian, they think I'm the best at DDR. Truth is, I hate DDR, I suck at it, and I would never want to be good at it.

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

Hmm .. Im never really underestimated. Sometimes im over-estimated. People think im up to do and for and have already done everything. When I most certainly have not. But some people, depending on my mood, when they first meet me underestimate either my strength or my compassion. =\ But in the end they find im a happy medium ... that tends to lean a little bit more towards a tough persona. (:

[symphomaniac]

I have this one friend, Lindsay, who...doesn't realize what she says before it floats out of her mouth. Or, rather, she doesn't realize the impact of what she says has on other people. I'm terrible at chemistry, and since that's the only class we share together, she thinks I'm this moron. Which I most certainly am not. So anywho, she's always underestimated me, calling me stupid and stuff like that, and it's like she's asking to be stabbed in the face.

And I probably would really stab her if, you know, it wasn't illegal.

[george_fred]

People think since I'm short they can take me. I just beat up my brother and his friend because they were trying to steal my journal. They have claw marks and bite marks all over them, not to mention lots of hair pulled out. I went all crazy, animal like. 0_o Like a mother protecting her young.

[EddieV]

^ That's me, cept I don't bite....

I throw...

[george_fred]

lol I usually don't bite but it was my journal. *shakes head* It was bad...

[EddieV]

^ I would just elbow them.

[george_fred]

lol I elbowed them too. And punched. And kicked. But their bigger and actually hitting seems to work less than scratching.

[gelionie]

I've been overestimated most of the time.



Well... sometimes people underestimate me when I say I'm a quiet person. I've tried to say less than 5 words in one whole day before.

[AngryBaby]

people are shocked that i can draw very well.

like its a talent im not supposed have, haha.

[Gypsy Eyes]

People do tend to underestimate me they are usually either shocked that I have a personality (if they only see me in serious classes) or that i'm not an airhead (if they see me when i'm having fun) so in both cases I guess that's being underestimated.

[*Libertie*]

Dude, you so stole my rant. My boss's mother is getting on my nerves for that very reason, she doesn't trust me to make a sale. She's constantly jumping in and trying to help me and making the customer feel uncomfortable. Uhm, if I didn't have plenty of experience he wouldn't have hired me.

[KrunkMuzik]

I just LOVE it when people underestimate me in basketball and football. They think just 'cuz Im Mexican, I can't ball on the court, hit that "J". They think 'cuz of my size, I can't throw one complete reception or catch a 30yd. throw. But when they see me in action, it's over. Im not your average Mexican basketball/football player.

[*islandgirl4eva*]

People tend to underestimate the full extent and wrath of my rage. I'm often, at first glance, seen as a doormat for people to walk all over. Haha. If only they knew.

Don't get on my bad side. I'm a fair person. Respect me and I'll respect you. That makes sense, doesn't it? Why don't people understand?

[EddieV]

^ Yeah that's pretty much the same with me, and almost everybody. Everyone has their boiling points.

[fameONE]

UH OH, HE'S PLAYING THE RACE CARD!

As a young Black male, I'm expected to fail. I'm expected to be ignorant, loud, uncouth, have hoop dreams, etc.

I prove people wrong every single day of my life.

Anytime I can go into a country club, where whatever I want and still be able to have an intelligent conversation with your so-called 'blue-beard,' I'm proving someone wrong.

I graduated from high school and I'm pursuing a degree.

The list goes on. I am underestimated all the time and I've learned to just deal with it. I'm going to succeed, I'm going to be wealthy and at the end of the day, I can look down from atop my mountain and smirk at all the people who doubted me.

Real talk.

[sprezzatura]

I am both underestimated/overestimated in different areas. ugh I hated that.

BAD BRANDON! (Kidding, of course)

But unfortunately, the stereotype is true.

[illumineering]

Nah. Why bother waiting around to hear a bunch of negative anyway?

Oh wow, you can do that. daaang, your back is strong.

[EddieV]

^ I guess, since I'm really skinny people think I'm really weak, but I work out a lot, like if I showed you a picture of myself right now, you would probably think I can't do it either.

you play the race card, i play the ace of spades! now what?



anywho.

people have aendency to underestimate my level of determination, and my work ethic, mainly because i tend to either work my ass off for smething i want/believe in, or show complete apathy. people who see the latter underestimate me, rather than assume that i concentrate my effots. i respond by proving them wrong.

oh. and people tend to assume that because i have af airly soft, quiet voice (when im being serious), that they can argue me down by talking over me. pssh.

[WickedDreamer]

Mainly my math teachers underestimate me. I just prove them wrong... although, there is reason for the understimation going on. But, if my teacher didn't have so many fashion faux pas, it's wouldn't be that bad... his jeans have elastic waists bans. I thought they only did that for toddler's jeans.

[Retrogressive]

I don't care about my looks.
Which means most of the time I don't bother with make-up.
Because I'm always tired and I rub my face.
Which means I look younger than I actually am.
It also means that I don't dress perfectly all the time.
People underestimate me because of that.

[misoshiru]

people underestimate me, by thinking that i never take anything seriously and can't think philosophically just because i'm always happy-go-lucky.

but when i say something much philosophically deeper than what they can comprehend, it's always fun to watch.

[subway]

see sometimes im really slow and have common sense. but that doesnt mean im stupid or anything.
after all einstein didnt have any common sense :)

[EddieV]

^ I really notice. Many book smart people have either no street smarts, or common sense. However I do see "the full package".

[*Blow_Don't_SUCK*]

it's funny because the person is shocked when you prove that you can do it.

yeah... In class I talk and act like I'm stupid, but when the teacher tells us to orally recite our essasys, people would be awed...

[EddieV]

Before my best friend and I became friends, I underestimated him in his abilities to play Super Smash Bros. So Me and my other friend were "pros" at that game, and we kinda thought that my best friend would be easy pickings. Turns out, he whooped us both in a 2 on 1.

[BannanaQ]

Oh hell yeah!!! Its fun though...It happens most of the time in the park... People challenge me basketball and how can I deny, since I can't really(I don't know why, don't ask). First they take it easy on me, while I also take it easy on them, its called sizing your opponent up or trying to learn his moves...boxers do it in the early rounds in boxing, try to strategize while the game is happening... But when their on the lead by like 10-2, and its up to 16, I just do 60% then keep on rising as the game goes on...Most of the time the score ends up 16-10 with me winning...

[sw33t_rouge]

they undestimate me in my musical talent -.- just because i dont look like i play the piano doesnt mean i cant. -.-

[Mr. Slowjamz]

i`ve definitely feel underestimated and if affected me alot ......its been awhile to get back on track =/ .

[Stephire]

I think it gives you an advantage.
Unless they do it and you're applying to their college.



>.<

[vash1530]

yea i talk ina a way soi keep ppl off uard and they underestimate me. gives me tha element of suprise and makes them lower their guard..

[EddieV]

Bump

[tokyo-rose]

I try my best to prove them wrong. >:D

[RealTalk]

I usually want to be better than them then I get really obsessive about proving them wrong.

[DoubleJ]

I always have a me against the world attitude. One thing I have learned in life, is that people never want to see you do better than them. There is somebody that is always going to try and knock you down. It is how you get back up and prove them wrong that is key.
