There is power in being underestimated. Do not fight to be taken seriously. Show them.

Underestimate me at your own peril.

Who wants to be overestimated??

@AbsolutelyFabulous True.

But, in that way, you kind of don't even need to compete.

Easy winning. Most don't want to mess with the supposed " BIG" dog.
I'd rather not be estimated, because all estimations are a product of ones projections and beliefs.
Lol.
But since I won't get that, people can estimate however suits their agenda.

Depends on the situation. If someone over eatimates your ablities, lets say at work, then you under perform, that looks bad and your bar was set too high to begin with.

If people are trying to mess with you and they under estimate your ability to react to them, then you have the upper hand.

One needs skill to first know how to estimate. Most of them have only estimated me wrongly. 😀

@Umile yeah . Because common sense is quite rare these days.
Umile · 41-45, F
@in10RjFox common sense is not so common.

True.

But, we kind of need to look at it from their ... vantage point.

Sometimes, when dealing with a person, I can sort of understand why they think the way they do.

@Umile Yes. But that's when we need to act in a way to make them feel that they are being estimated and not let them estimate is .. 😀😀

Actually what we are thinking is what they are thinking. Unfortunately we think that the other is estimating us, when they too are thinking how we are estimating or judging them. 😀

That's what makes people say
* You are looking good today
* You are late
* What happened to you?

to deflect and make them focus on themselves 😀😀😀

If I were in the throes of passion with a new lover and we both were to strip naked, in the moment of the reveal of each others bodies I would much rather surpass someone’s estimations of me.

@OneDayMore Go on with your bad self.

If they are willing to give me a chance, then underestimated. Otherwise none of that. 😅

Regarding what?
Umile · 41-45, F

@Umile great question.

scorpiolovedeep · 51-55, M

Umile · 41-45, F

A bit of both ... as appropriate.
Underestimated
UndeadSona · F
Nothing is more disgraceful
Umile · 41-45, F
@UndeadSona care to expand on that.
UndeadSona · F
@Umile to truely be over estimated is to fall short of expectations. To allow those to exist and fail to resch them? Makes my skin crawl
