I 100% agree. I do not have OCD, but I have met a handful of people who truly have it, and it is capable of being debilitating. It annoys me when people go around diagnosing themselves with OCD or anything else so casually.

Exactly! I'm trying to spread my message and get people to see. Wanna know the reason OCD is not a cause that gets donated to? People who self-diagnose it, bringing about stereotypes and people think that it's nothing.

All of these are great points that I 100% agree with!

When people think you're sad just because you're not smiling at the moment

THANK YOU!
My expression is sometimes neutral when I'm bored, and sometimes I scratch my eye, and ppl be liek "whats wrong"

Stereotypes that apply to me:

• Nerd
• Ice Queen
• The One You Should Avoid At All Costs
• The One That Isn't Least Popular But Isn't Popular Either

and I think that's about it, not sure

Nerd and the last one apply to me :)

All Asian people are the same…

This stereotype is why I hurl couches at people.

yayyy, I'm not lonely

see yall l8r

That's justified. There was some guy in my piano class last year who made an "Asians eat dogs" joke about our teacher, and I almost lost it. Racial stereotypes disgust me.

stereotypes for me:
the sassy one
the one that hates everyone
the person who thinks they are better than everyone even though they aren't that cool, or popular

I really don't like/ think any of these are true ..but everyone says they are, so….

Like I said… Race jokes are not cool.

Asian Stereotypes SUCK ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE THE ASIAN

Just because I'm Asian doesn't mean I have to be smart and badass ok?

Such a bad stereotype. It is terrible that so many people think bad things about Asian people. None of the stereotypes are true.

Well… TBH everyone should be smart and badass, but yeah… That makes sense…

One that I hate is that people think Asian just applies to China, Japan, Korea, etc… The Middle East is also classified as Asia.

Also the thing about the squinting eyes?

Seriously people?

I know…

Also… Nerds are physically weak…

I am a huge nerd and I curl ATVs.

Yeah, my friend is Chinese and doesn't have those squinty eyes.
Just a bad haircut, which is unrelated.

EXACTLY!!! I suffer from that one.

That nerds wear bow ties and dress shirts each day. Just… really?! (Although, I do think bow ties are cute)

I hate where you have to justify yourself as "No! Just because I have a dark sense of humour doesn't make me insane!"
or
"Please stop calling me scary, the only times I lash out at people is when they keep bothering me about doing shit that I don't care about and isn't my job."

You know that alignment chart that's like… Jock, Nerd, Goth, Prep? Well, I'm goth nerd, so I don't fit either set of stereotypes very well.

Exactly! And you can be more than one thing. For example, even though I don't fit the stereotypes I'm Jock, Nerd, and Goth.

• Bi, pan, and poly people don't want to do it with everyone. I'm bi, and I don't crush on everyone I see.
• Italian people aren't all super loud, I'm just loud and it's actually something I inherited from my German grandfather
• Depression doesn't equal suicidal. I'm depressed, but not suicidal.
• Aces aren't prudes or frigid, and also aren't 'smol pure beans'. I'll make and laugh at dirty jokes, and I'll listen to you talk about your SO and doing it with them. I won't think you're gross for having sex.
• Theatre kids aren't super overdramatic and happy. Most theatre kids I know are depressed.

• Teens. Are. Capable. Of. Having. Intelligent. Discussions.
• So are kids. I had a long conversation about block scheduling and its benefits with a 3rd grader. Did I have to explain some words? Yes. Did she still get everything I said? Yes.
• Autistic people aren't 'socially awkward geeks uwu'.

Italian people aren't all super loud, I'm just loud and it's actually something I inherited from my German grandfather
Yes! I'm Italian and am quiet unless you get to know me, the talkng with our hands thing is true tho

Sometimes I'm like "We don't talk with our hands!" and then realize that I was 3 inches away from slapping someone's face so yeah.
My grandfather has a super load voice though, and passed it down to my mom and her to me

Same tho…

And with the drama kids one… No, veryone in drama is a different person. I know people who fit that well, nerds, emos, punks, etc. Drama is a place where all the misfits go to feel safe

Yeah. I was talking to a Drama friend about it and she basically said "Misfits go to Drama to fit in and assume the role they want to have".
I'm not saying I'm the King of the Fairies, but I did put a lot of my anger and feelings into Oberon.
Also I would definetely rule the fairies if they asked me. I'd rule the entire fricking world by the end of the week with my mythological fairy army
