Derrick Rose Quotes

All my life I've felt quite misunderstood because of my personality.

I think I'm not always what I seem. Most people, when they get to know me, say, 'You know, when I first met you...' People initially think I'm a snob because I'm intensely private.

I'm not extremely outgoing, but I'm average, I think. When people meet me they'll say, 'Oh you're not that shy...' I never said I was! I see where they're coming from because my biggest single was about being shy at a party - I get it. But it's not 100% accurate.

I guess people think I'm aloof just because I don't talk much. I guess I'd think the same thing if I saw myself.

I'm very private in person. I'm very sensitive and shy with men individually. But when I'm talking, maybe there's this other channel or this other side and other way of working in my mind, and I convert and become carefree.

I'd like to get my public image nearer to my reality. People have a lot of misconceptions.

Many introverts feel there's something wrong with them, and try to pass as extroverts. But whenever you try to pass as something you're not, you lose a part of yourself along the way. You especially lose a sense of how to spend your time.

I know I come off differently than I think of myself. I'm always surprised by what people say about me.

It's funny: people who meet me say, 'I thought you'd be different.' But I'm still the same guy.

When I first read the words 'introvert' and 'extrovert' when I was 10, I thought I was both.

I'm actually much more shy and self-conscious than people's perception of me.

My reality is the misconceptions about me.

I am innately very shy, and I have struggled with that challenge for years.

People have always made assumptions about me. I become very territorial about my identity because it's been hijacked by so many people with their own projections.

I was very shy and withdrawn as a child, but people know me as these assertive women. They are not me.

I sometimes think my earnestness is confused for stupidity, but it shouldn't be.

I'm quiet, so people might think I'm a mute.

I am shy. People misconstrue it as arrogance.

People assume a lot about me. Some people come up and think I'm hard. I'm actually very, very shy. I'm bubbly in the right circumstances. But I'm a big introvert.

I think people always misjudge me.

I think I'm pretty misunderstoood.

I think people have a warped sense of who I am.

It feels weird to say there's more to me than that, like I'm being overdramatic, and a tear rolls down my cheek. But, no - I do like I feel like there's more to me than just baseball.
