I try hard not to judge people when I meet them but first impressions are the most powerful. I get what you're saying about being labeled a rebel. It feels strange when people perceive you differently than you perceive yourself. It makes me try to "undo" their perception and I find myself trying too hard or acting weird. It's no fun lol
That is sooo true, I totally get it with the feeling weird and trying to "undo" their perception...but sometimes no matter how hard you try things just don't change haha.
