There there. Have a big squishy hug.
Sounds like they're making toomany assumptions about you and they're getting it wrong. Happens to me too (but not as often as it used to). Maybe you should deliberately set their train of thought about you crashing into a wall by making them expect you to behave in a certain way, and then suddenly doing something opposite to what they expect.

No - I have to wear smart trousers and occasionally bully my feet into wearing heels, which hurt.
People would shit bricks.

Too much I think!
Shitting bricks sounds painful, and messy. So they'd have to clean the bricks first.

Is that for the 'building up the wrong expectations' part or the 'crashing into a brick wall' part?

A little of column A, a little of column B.
