I Am Not What People Expect

I am not what people expect. I hate it when people underestimate me. I should use it to my advantage, but it hurts that people think I'm not smart, or clueless about things. They always seen shocked when I say something they didn't expect me to know.

If people are surprised by things you do or say, clearly they do underestimate you. I tend to see that as a failing on their part. Clearly you are more capable than they think. They may be clever but obviously they have failed in their assessment of you. Potentially that gives you an advantage.
