I have the opposite problem.

Everyone thinks i'm really clever and such, and when I don't do so well, they're surprised -____-

Especially in art. Jeez, my teacher expects me to produce amazing stuff, and when I don't (mainly because of the time and how long it takes), she says "I know you can do better"
When I do produce something i'm proud of, she nods, says "Thats nice" and asks what else i've done. FFS woman i've spent all weekend on that painting because you said i could do better, and you expect me to come out with more work. W.T.F

Nice ramble there. Had to get that out of the system 🤣

Never underestimated: I can do all I want (literally), if i put myself in.

I need a die with 2 sides.

That's known as a "coin".

Oh, thanks. Too much D&D.

I prefer it when I'm underestimated, and try to actively promote that. It helps if you like to be a slacker.

Unfortunately, people who know me better tend to overestimate me instead, which just leads to a lot of work. (Lately, though, that work has been interesting, so I don't really mind. But in general, underestimation is where it's at.)

I'm usually overestimated. Everyone at school thinks I'm this bamf artist and writer. But I'm happy with it! So far, I've lived up to all their expectations! Now lets hope I make it through high school... O_o

life is a game... and i don't wanna win if i can't play by my rules!

occasionally

Quote from tsuto

Sometimes, I guess that is because of my looks (I look younger and clueless Ô_Ö, and weak). So I get the "So you could do that!" or the more annoying "So you have strenght" 🤣

Same here. 🤢
My physical education class play softball this week, and there's this guy who was totally shocked that I hit the ball a little far. Being small sucks, indeed.

Whether we fall by ambition, blood, or lust,
Like diamonds, we are cut with our own dust.

Largely underestimated, at least because of my size and looks. I'm short, petite, and polite. Hmph. I can get that off the shelf on my own, thank you very much. It can be amusing when people underestimate my strength and are proven very wrong indeed.
Polite does not equal 'prudish' either.

I act the occasional psychotic.
They underestimate me.

In highschool, I was really good at maths, yet I was put in the lowest level maths class. although it may have been the teacher didn't like me. 🙁

I don't know... I suppose they don't, but I'm lazy enough not to mind it. Honestly, I'll probably be overestimated for some crazy genius after I graduate and be totally screwed.

People tend to overestimate me. I end up with all sorts of people thinking I'm smart and capable, etc etc etc with no idea where they got that.

I am a breath of insanity in a world of chaos.

Even if they do understimate me... i cant really tell cuz i allways understimate people 😀
