Things I have trouble dealing with that I should get over...

[danaeris]

...other people having misconceptions about me.

I DON'T deal well with other people having a different conception of me than mine, unless it is so far off base that it is funny. But there's nothing I can do about this sort of thing, and little I can do to prevent people from getting weird ideas about me. So I need to get over this. Anyone have any magic pills?

Do you think it's the misconception itself? Or that they act on this misconception without bothering to find out how you really think/feel about something?

I know it's the latter that bothers me. I absolutely hate when someone makes a decision for me based on their idea of what they think I would do... well, at least I hate it when they're wrong.

It doesn't seem that it should be that hard to show some consideration and ask for an opinion: even if you think you know the answer.

I know people sometimes surprise me, usually in good ways. I hope I'm at least that complex and can surprise other folks, once in a while anyway.
