    Nah. People will think what they will anyway. My philosophy is to be who I am and then if someone likes me, cool, if not, cool. At least they like or dislike me based on who I am, not someone I pretend to be. I have quite the reputation in some parts of the world, and it doesn't bother me in the slightest.

    As for misunderstanding, well, people misunderstand all the time. I do try to explain my views as well as I can, but in the end, people are going to perceive what they perceive so no point in worrying about that either.

    If I am misunderstood, that bothers me. I dont want people to interpret what I say in the wrong way.

    But no I don't stress about what other people think about me

    Honestly, I'm usually the kind of person that's under the radar. People don't notice me, so I don't really give a piss. I never have. All I care about are the people I love. The one's closest to me.

    I'm always going to be my own person, but there is still that small part of me that aims to please, you know?

    Same here. All I would add is purposely.

    Smearing someone's reputation is pretty sleazy, especially if the story was fabricated and nothing was done to provoke it. People knew about how ugly that kind of thing was way back in Biblical times (i.e., bearing false witness).

    People who act like that are pretty pathetic. They must not have much going on in their life if they have to resort to that kind of tactic.

    I used to care a lot more than I do now, but managing it is nearly impossible. I'm trying to get beyond it.

    It doesn't matter hugely but to an extent yes it does. Of course it does, if someone starts spreading rumours and lies about me, it will bother me. If a random person thinks I'm a bitch or I'm rude, eh, I'll survive.

    If someone misunderstands me? Again, yes, it bothers me. I don't want to be the misunderstood hero.

    Yes! It bothers me. I am known as a party girl. yet I haven't displayed this in a long time and my husband has never seen it.
    When I was in San Diego my husband talked to my friends ont he phone and one of them proceeded to tell me husband 'how much fun I used to liek to have' and that i'm an 'alcoholic'.
    I think Andy just laughed because I really hardly ever drink since I moved here and there have def not been any nights with my columbian friend since I moved.

    sorta yes, sorta no. if i think someone is a complete douche, i'm happy they hate me. if i think someone is a good person, it matters to me if they don't like me.

    Yes, because my reputation in a small town as it is greatly affects whether I can get or keep a job. I have higher goals in life than fast food, and I'm not going to get there with a bad reputation.

    No and no.

    People will always think whatever they want regardless of what you do, or how you portray yourself or come across or what-have-you...

    And if someone misunderstands me, it doesn't bother me in the least nor do I really even think about it...

    Hmm sometimes , I have no intention of creating a reputation in something .So then I don't care.

    But when I want to create an impression and someone says , say the exact opposite about me , then I'd be very unhappy.

    It used to A LOT when I was younger, and was even labled with Social Anxiety Disorder, but the older I get the better I am about not caring what other people think of me... I've kinda became an asshole, I haven't had a panic attack in almost 2 years now.

    No matter what you do people will think about you what they want to think about you. Be true to yourself no matter what anyone else thinks.
