I will start by saying that people are surprised I am 28 years old, since I look a lot younger.

That I am both an ex-catholic and ex-fundamentalist christian.

That I have spent time in psychiatric hospitals. Also, I am 32 and people still think I am in my early twenties.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

I have surprised people by telling them that I am on the Autistic Spectrum (I have hyperlexia and I was diagnosed professionally at the age of six or seven). By this point, I can almost pass for Neurotypical until somebody notices that I don't make eye contact.

For what it's worth, I have told several people that I have a fascination with things like Serial Killers, Cannibalism and Necrophilia, among other things, but very few people expressed surprise at this.

Also, due to my "Tevye goes grunge" look, People seem to think I'm a lot older than I really am. I'm 21.

That I'm a paleface...apparently.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Quoted for obscenely high probability of truth.

Plenty of people I chat with on the internet express intense surprise on discovering I am not female Tiger

Which is, of course, a massive ego boost Smile
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
