"You don't act your race/age/etc etc."

I get the "You don't act your age" one a lot. I look younger than I really am, so people tend to be surprised when I begin discussing things that wouldn't seem fitting for my appearance.

Another one is "You don't act like a smart person." Although silly, I got this one a lot during high school for various reasons.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Also, how does a smart person act? There's lots of brilliant serial killers running around here. So, should you be acting like them?

That's quite a difference.

I think my classmates in high school were mainly referring to the fact that I never enjoyed reading or "getting to know" the teachers, like some of the other top students did.

Another one that comes to mind is that people always assumed I was naturally gifted at math simply because of being Asian.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I look young for my age. It's because I've inhereted a lot of my mom's genes. She told me a story that when I was about 4 years old, she'd take me grocery shopping etc, and the one time the clerk said that it was nice for her to take her younger brother out shopping with her. She replied "I'm his mother!" (wish I would've been old enough to remember it happen hahah).

But yea, I'm 22 and get carded for R rated movies & M rated videogames.

I get carded constantly whenever purchasing a game or even seeing an R-rated movie. It's amusing because when I was 17, they never carded me. Years later, it seems that people always want to check my ID.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
