There are stereotypes for everything. The reason they exist is, that while everyone likes to think they're unique, the truth is with nearly eight billion people on Earth, one's chances of being completely unique are slim to none. So, no shame! Share with us!

The guy who is on bored panda everyday
I have several charactistics or traits that Americans tend to associate with being a gay male. A "gay accent," stereotypical interest and skill at cooking (although chefs are not stereotypically gay), dancing (not club dancing, stage and competition ballroom), and sometimes campy.
Since I live in India and wear glasses, a stereotype I fit in with is that I am a nerd who is obsessed with science. After that I just break every single stereotype related to my country and my glasses. I also have realised I am an ace so I leave the room for snacks if a gross scene comes on the tv.
Apparently there’s a common stereotype that people in percussion either have really bad attitudes, or have raging ADHD and I can say it is true because I have Adhd and some people I know in percussion have anger issues
Hmmm, interesting. I've never heard anyone say, " Oh, he's a percussionist, he's always angry (or ADHD)." I can kinda see the reasoning though. Apologies to those who are offended by gender-specific pronouns. I'm an old guy, set in his ways.
I haven't heard that stereotype before, but it is funny because my sister wanted to be a drummer and she has ADHD. She did drumming in year 7 but her ADHD and auditory processing disorder meant she couldn't keep time when there were other instruments playing :) She did well at taiko drumming in primary school though.
I hadn't heard of that one. My son just joined percussion, but now that I think about it, he has complained about the guys he's next to.
I’ve been in percussion for a year, it’s not a super common stereotype but a lot of people think it’s true

The move-in lesbian stereotype. I had my first kiss at 12.. after dating a girl for 2 days. Lmao.
The weirdo nature kid who spends more time with the trees and lizards than actual people.
Emo probably
people have been telling me that i fit into that stereotype
Could you elaborate on that? I know the term emo, but never really understood it.
I'm a selective extrovert. I can seem like an introvert, but if I warm up to you, I am very extroverted. Earth signs (I'm Taurus) tend to be selective extroverts.
The "other girls" stereotype, depending on the perspective. My favorite color is pink, I'm very feminine, I would gladly take a salad over a burger or pizza, I may or may not be a little boy-crazy (not just for boys, I'm a bisexual). I wear makeup regularly, I like skirts and dresses and occasionally heels, and the list goes on. However, being like other girls is not a bad thing -- I quite like it! The stereotype generalizes women, and I like to think of myself as quite unique, thankyaverymuch.
I'm non-binary and I: wear round glasses, wear button up shirts w/ weird patterns, have the swooshy undercut hairstyle, and own 2 pairs of doc martens
I have a nonbinary friend who has mushroom earrings, a frog tee shirt, has a plant-based name, dresses in flannels, and they're short and they look harmless but WILL k*ll you. Everything about them has serious enby energy. Y o u a r e d e s t i n e d t o b e f r i e n d s . . .
I’m a fashion-obsessed girly girl (no I don’t have an IQ of -5, I actually quite enjoy school) and I totally wear pink (especially frilly little vintage dresses) like every day. People say I’m weird……I get either be sexy or be masculine. I have lots of crushes but apparently everyone thinks I’m really high maintenance (I’m not)😩 (sorry I’m just feeling down right now)
Loud afab enby
I could Google that, I suppose, but it'd be more interesting if you explained what a "afab enby" is?
This is simply a stereotype I made up because of research I made.
I’m queer and I rock climb.
ACTUALLY I JUST FOUND THIS SOMEWHERE SO I DIDNT MAKE OT UP!
People think Iḿ the uwu girl! I don´t mind too much, but I hate it when someone calls me a discord kitten 😣
nerd and theatre kid. absolutely a theatre kid, loud and proud. (don't mind the british spelling, I'm from the US but I just prefer "theatre" cause it looks nice i guess)
Not really any… but I am a lesbian(at least I think I am) who generally dresses pretty feminine but also likes some outfits that are stereotypically thought of as boyish. I don’t really like dresses, but I think skirts are okay so would that make me like a butchy femme…?
the moody and sarcastic girl who trusts no one
The psychic housewife. Ever since my youngest son was born, I've been lucky enough to be a stay-at-home mom. I've taken a few classes & studied books to help develop my psychic abilities, namely mediumship & animal communication.
