Ever Have to Assert Yourself With Those Who Try To Only See You In One Dimension?

For example: The "pretty girl", the "smart guy", the "handsome dude", the "rich boy" and the like. How infuriating when you know yourself to be damn far more than one facet that stands out! What's been your experience?

How others see me is none of my business.

@curiosi To an extent yes, but when others regard you as only being one faceted, they can definitely disrespect one's intelligence, potential and more. If you are on a job, a sports team, a friendship circle where interaction is high and means something it is your business because you don't want someone treating you in away that is not according to who you know and often clearly display yourself as. I find many people treat others in a light that they only want to see them as, of course not for the best reasons and most certainly not for the other persons own good. That's the point I'm making.
