Is it normal that i find this annoying?

I'm a quiet person who's been described as serious.

Every time I see them, this person always talks about me like I'm not there, saying, "She's so sweet" multiple times, along with other comments. They'll also give an un-asked-for mini description of my character and maybe some comments on my appearance.

I keep a relatively blank face, even smile sometimes, but this grates on me. I think, "What the fuck do you know about me? Stop talking about me and for me."

I cringe inside when I hear them say I'm sweet, because it isn't really true. And to anyone who knows more about my character, it just calls attention to the fact that I'm not a very sweet person. A small part of me suspects that it's said in mockery rather than ignorance, but either way, it's gotten old.

It'd be too much of a pain to bother saying anything, though, and I'd just look like an uptight ass who was taking everything too seriously.

I didn't mind at first, but going through the same song and dance has become irksome, especially as over time I've come to find this person's loud, blunt behavior less endearing and more obnoxious. Though, they're still pretty funny and cool sometimes.

    People should just keep their own business. You have a reason to be annoyed and I think it's a good one as well

  • I get the weird comments too. When I first started my last job I approached my new coworkers and tried to talk as much as I can tho I’m not very talkative. When I was around other people in the place I still would talk when I’d have chances. Yet I still heard coworkers saying “we need to get her out of her shell”. I looked over like excuse me bitch. Guess I come off as quiet even when I’m not. I hate when people assume I mean yeah I’m quiet but talked the most ahh. I remember one tried to get mad at me for something and I told her what was up then she was nice after. Like I gotta prove them so wrong just to stop getting comments yet I’m sure they still think I am how they expect me to be. People always do that they’re weird. Usually when I see someone one way I don’t stick to it and are open to see how they truly can be. I’m always getting surprised by people I try not to think ik how they are.

    • I know, but changing would come with its own set of even worse problems for me.

      I guess it's just wishful thinking that I could be allowed to be quiet without having some people loudly fill in the blanks with crap.
