I've mentioned at least a couple of times in the past how people seem to have a curious idea of the kind of person I am - mainly, weak or immoral:
The article from 2020 where I mentioned I was once described as weak
The article from last month where I mentioned I was thought to be immoral
Since neither of these things accurately describe me, it got me thinking: perhaps I'm not being very transparent with people. I've gone through experiences, one in particular, that proves that I could survive anything and that I'm definitely not weak, but I suppose I never told about it to the person who thought I was weak and would not survive any kind of hardship.
It's also possible that the relative of the second story (who told me that if she heard I had gotten arrested she would assume it's for running a pyramid scheme) doesn't know me very well and only thought of the immoral explanation because she knows I'm rich - and she's the kind of person who doesn't think people get rich through honest and moral means. She thinks money is the root of all evil and that if someone has it, they have taken it by force from someone else.
If I had told the first person about the ordeal I went through, or never treated the second one for anything, they wouldn't think I'm weak or wealthy (or immoral, as the second person thinks the two words are interchangeable).
Ergo, I'm a closed person, which leads to people misinterpreting my persona and creating a false idea in their heads of who I am.
And I'm perfectly okay with that.
