I'm not at all. I was taught by life experience never judge a book by its cover.

but in that comment of yours you judged a book by its cover.

It is not your fault, that's the vibe that turn women on same way men can't resist a woman with big boobs, ass and fine face.

I can relate very well with your question, because I am calm and introverted(or ambiverted). At times, I am referred to as a pastor too. Children also call me that too, even though I am not one. Whenever, I get uncomfortable with people calling me a pastor, I used to remind myself that I am a Christian and heaven is my goal. With this thought, I no longer get uncomfortable.

Good evening my fellow Nairalanders and compliments of the season....

So I recently moved into a new neighborhood last December,and I must really confess that this environment is so so cool,like everyone's living peacefully and amicably with one another..... Personally, I'm the calm kind of a guy.....An introvert,to the extent that if I'm not on the road via hustling,then I must be definitely be indoors, doing my stuffs online....

Now,the problem here is that my new neighbors have been secretly referring to me as a pastor due to my kind of lifestyle cheesy. What really baffled me was yesterday when a man whom I usually take to the park every Wednesday morning asked me if I've any affiliation with any Church........I said NO but I was really curious to know what was the reason behind that question...It was then he told me that it was my neighbor who's living in the flat close to my apartment was the one who told him I'm a pastor.

So,I just want to know,if anyone has ever had a similar experience in the past......That the moment people notice you're a calm and gentle person,they immediately tag you as a pastor or a religious personnel? Even without asking you first? cheesy
If my neighbors see this post them go think say na me post am🤣

The day, I went to collect money from one man and he was playing me. I off my cloth and said I will brake his house. I was surprised, everyone begging me was saying you really offend Pastor. But each tym pple call me Pastor I do tell them I am not a Pastor. Some want to put you at disadvantage by calling you Pastor

There are several reasons for this. One of the most annoying one is because many people are hypocrites. They need someone to crucify and/or help justify their wrong.

The day you commit a small crime that they are serially guilty of, your story go spread like wildfire during Harmattan.

I always beware of such people and sometimes even give them equivalent names also.

You prefer to be called Bad guy Abi?

You are close. You haven't touched the core of your identity. The Holy Spirit is showing your inner man and forming you to become more Christlike

For me I don't see calm and gentle persons as pastor because there are so many reasons for calmness and gentility.
1. Some are calm and gentle because of life lessons, these were forced to be calm because of situations.
2. Others use calmness and gentility as a strategy to hide their real characters.
3. Some are calm because of their social status, these set of people have managers that help them to behave calmly and gentle.
Calmness and gentility is not a criteria for me to rate you as a pastor...Not all that glitters are gold!!!
nice observations.

My brother, it happens to me a lot. And the funny thing is that I'm not even religious. I can't even bring girls home anymore because my neighbours will be disappointed that pastor is womanizing. Mehn, I am tired.

I can perfectly relate. In my own case, they tagged me, Alfa, even total strangers I got to meet for the first time are fond of tagging such titled on me, which mostly do get me pissed that I had to explicitly tell some not to call me such. I'm not even religiously or Islamically knowledgeable to deserve such title, all due to my acts and softlook. Moreso, my introverted nature.
Though it has saved me some couple of times where people defended me in my absent when crimes occurred, even when normally, I was also a suspect as per police investigation, but was defended that, I'm the last person to have been the culprit, that I shouldn't be bother and they should focus their investigation somewhere else.
I do stay away from trouble and mostly do mind my business.
