This is a hard one. For me to think someone has incorrect assumptions about me would mean I think people think about me at all. I’m pretty sure that is generally incorrect. I’m kind of an “out of sight, out of mind” person.
I guess building on that I would say that since I am introverted, fade into the background at social gatherings, and joke about becoming a hermit, people assume I am OK with the “out of sight, out of mind” thing. Until the blog, I was never really open about how lonely I am. I didn’t tell people when I needed help. I didn’t talk about how hard it was when my wife traveled for work a lot and I was alone with two kids. I’ve opted out of social events(one relatively recently) because I was in a bad place mentally.
I think, given all of that, people assume I don’t need them. Or that I don’t like them. Then they leave me alone or stop inviting me to things and assume that is what I want.
I’ll annoy the crap out if you if you want…

This would be hard for me to answer. All I can come up with is an assumption that I’m not too bright. I’m okay with that.

On the bright side, it’s nice to opt out of social events and have alone time. At least I think so.

I opt out of social events. And if I don’t I stress about it leading up to it. I am ok with not joining social events.
