Things That People Always Point Out About You That You Can't Stand

Yeah that title can be a little confusing. ANYWAYS What I'm trying to say is that thing that people are pointing out about you that aredifferent or devient. You know like " Your left handend? That's so weird!" or "You watch My Little Pony?! Are you gay?!" And stuff like that.

For the longest time (And it still kinda happens still, just not quite as much) people always pointed out how small my eyes were. They would always ask, "Are you asian?" and "Are you crying?". I'm not one to get annoyed much, but that just made me flip ♥♥♥♥ when I heard it after about the thousandth time.

So i now must of us on this forum are pretty different from the rest of society. So what is something about you that people point out and think are weird or different

The fact that I always eat the same thing every time I go to a restaurant or whatever. Somehow everybody always has to make a comment about it at some point or another. I'm picky, I can't help it. Leave me alone! >.<

-You like RUNNING?!
-You can run 5 miles? Without stopping?!

Oh and (if this counts as pointing out) everytime I go out, my mom will be like, "WILL THERE BE DRINKING?! SEX?! DRUGS?!" and etc.

"You have a bald spot on the back of your head"


Uh, yeap. I know about that, I've known about that since I was 5 and an iron fell on it.

"You have a really Australian accent, but you have an Asian face!"

Yeah, thanks pal. Never noticed.

Also, pointing out I'm short.

"You should drive! Why don't you drive?!"
Or
"Why don't you speak Spanish that much?"
I have a fear of cars, don't ask why.
Just because I'm Mexican doesn't mean that I can speak perfectly Spanish, I know I should speak Spanish but really the rate how these whine about I'll won't.

Well, when I was younger, like in middle school, I was very shy and barely talked to people, so one of the things that was bound to come up whenever I met a new person was, "You don't talk much." I'm sure anybody who's quiet gets that repeated to them ad nauseam.

I'm not like that now though, so I don't get that anymore. I can't really think of something that annoys me now that people always point out...

yeah man, I totally feel you on both points, except people say things like "ZOMG You're Swedish but you are a BLACK" (not verbatim but close enough)

Some people on irc were comparing me to Loreen because she has dark skin, hair, eyes and is a Swedish citizen. (>___>)

and people like to point out that I'm tall, a lot.

Apparently, I make quite an entrance. I frequently swing open (if "swing" is the right way to say it) the door and everyone notices my presence, sometimes with my hair breezing through the air.
Should I feel feel good about this? I dunno. I'd rather not receive so much concentration and attention.

"You're really short"
"Your hands are so little and cute OH MY GOSH!" Then they proceed to hold my hand against theirs to see how much smaller mine are in comparison.
"Are those highlights natural?"
"Why would you take German? It's so useless! Maybe you should switch to Spanish."
"I'm assuming you would like to buy that game?" NO I JUST BROUGHT IT UP HERE TO TELL YOU ABOUT HOW MUCH I WANTED IT
"Why would you use a Kindle when you could just use REAL books. That's like cheating, isn't it?"
"You haven't seen the Avengers/Lorax/Hunger Games? IT WAS SO GOOD GO SEE IT!!!!"

Apparently I do this annoying American accent, but I don't see it. Ever. There's not a whole lot to say on the subject but people tend to tell me off despite the extreme hilarity of my jokes(as with all my jokes) and it really makes me sad

I'm having a pluck of grey hair since I was 14-15y old (that's about 12 years) on the center-front of my head. But somehow people that I've known for several years, still point out 'Hey, do you know that you have grey hair?".

I actually don't mind the hair, but I mind the fact that they point it out after all these years.

"You look/act nothing like your twin!"
gee thanks because i didn't already know this? what did you expect? ♥♥♥♥ing clones or something

Ugh, God help me:

- My height. I get it I'm short. Shut up. Stop calling me "little man" or "big guy".
- "You don't like sex or pervy jokes? Are you gay?"
- "Why do you use big words? Are you gay?"
- "Matthew, are you gay?"
- "You watch My Little Pony, are you gay?"
- "86 lbs? You are going to die of the flu you are so anorexic!"
- "You look like Scout from How to Kill a Mockingbird"
- "Hahahaha, he's angry. Look people, he's angry. It's so cute."
- "You look like a Kindergartener!"
- "How old are you? 8?"
- "You don't listen to rap? Screw you!"
- "You are ugly"
- "I'm not picking you for basketball, you are short, therefore you must suck at basketball, even though I have never seen you play."
- "Why haven't you seen Tangled?"
- "You are so cute."
- "Shut up. You are so annoying."
- "You are.... uh, interesting, Matthew."
- "CoD is better than Goldeneye because it has better grafix!"
- "You shave your legs? Are you gay?"
- "You listen to a song from 2008!? That is so freakin' old!"
- "You don't support abortion? Go to hell!"

I could probably go on forever.

My height is a big one. It doesn't matter who I meet, the conversation always opens with "wow, you're tall!" and occasionally includes questions regarding whether or not I play basketball.

Another thing that annoys me is that if I walk by people, I can hear them comment on my height. It's as if they don't realize that I can still hear them.

My parents would act like this all the time. Eventually I told them that I was going to get extremely drunk and ensure that they would have at least four new grandchildren from four separate girls by the end of the night.

They didn't think it was as funny as I thought it was.

"You look so young!" Err thanks? But srsly, umm i am a grown up. Treat me like one, k?

"Why dont you have kids?" This one pisses me off to no end! So just because i am a certain age, i have start popping out babies? Yeah screw you! When i reply with "Im not even married." SOME people go "Why should that stop you?" ♥♥♥♥in...

Also like the above, "Why arent you married?" So apparently if you arent married or dont have a ton of kids by my age, a lot of people think theres something wrong with you. God forbid you think for yourself, ya know?

From my brother: "You still live at home!" Umm no ♥♥♥♥, sherlock!

People see my last name and go "Oh so yer Latina?" Nig, do i LOOK Latina to you? I forgive the interwebz folks for this because i dont have a lot of pics all up in here. So yeah. But when IRL people do that,

*Le me tells people the name of my town* "Oh ive never heard of that...Where the hell is that?"
Le me:

I get this so much! And they all say it like they were the first to notice >_<

The other one is "you have such long hair"...what do I say to that?
Though the worst is "your hair is so nice...you should cut it." If you actually meant that then why on earth would I want to? Go and troll someone else.

People always ask me if my eye color is my real color or if they're contacts. I have no idea at all why. My eyes are just a lightish brown. Not even that light, just like honey and totally natural looking. Still, I get this question like once every two months. It just happened last week. O.o But my eyes are natural. ;___;

Another thing that probably shouldn't bother me but does is that people always always say my voice sounds like Amy Lee. Which is maybe true because she is my absolute favorite singer, but I personally don't think it does. And also, I don't want people to like my voice because it sounds like someone else's. I wish I had a unique sound, and I guess people don't realize that somehow (but thank you very much for trying to compliment me, I really really appreciate it ;___; ) they are actually insulting me, because in my little world, in order to be a very good musician you have to somehow stand out and make your own little characteristic sound. APPARENTLY I IZ FAILING.

When my roommate, for example, notices that the bathroom has been cleaned up and she asks "Did you clean the bathroom?".
I just want to answer her "Nope".
I actually said that once and she didn't seem to get my joke.

But yeah, obvious stuff like that. When you sit and draw and someone come up to you and is all like "Did you draw that?". Obviously I was just hovering my pen over this other artist's piece of work so that I could get credit for it later on.

My natural hair colour. I am a bit of a natural red head, but since I'm asian (well half anyway but it's more on the dominant side of me), people assume that I coloured it because asian = natural black.
