I really hate that my appearance does not reflect my personality. Because of it, it seems that people take me as having the same attitude as the often raucous and carefree people who surround me, but I do not like being viewed in this way. I hate my appearance so much that I have completely refused to look in any kind of mirror for months now. I prefer to be quiet and reclusive, even if I regularly cannot maintain that kind of behaviour. I do not like being around noisy, pride-filled people, and I do not want to behave in that way, but people never seem to take the hint. If I looked the way that I wanted to, then people would take me more seriously and understand that I do not want to be around them, or that I am not a sociable person who likes to be around people who are cheerful and boisterous.

 

What can I do about it? Normally I would not go looking for advice on the internet, but I am not sure where else to go. I am probably just coming off as attention-seeking now, so this is probably not a good idea.

I dont know what to say. Nor do I fully understand your situation.

Hmmm... I would normally give some advice, but since this involves social circumstances, I won't be able to help much....

So basically, you're meaning to tell the readers here that based on your appearance, people will immediately judge you as like the carefree, bubbly, always smiling, happy-go-lucky and sociable kind of person when you aren't that type right?

Until you change your appearance for what you want to be perceived as, you will always be judged by the stereotype you fit.

More-or-less, yes. People treat me like the rowdy and cheerful people that are often around me and do not realise that, for the most part, that is not what I act like.
