I'm glad someone knows what I'm talking about. . .
(Possibly the finest moment of my freshman year: "I can't believe I'm being beaten by a 13 year old female chess player." Out loud. So much better than if he had realized from the start. .)

Put in that context yes I enjoy it. It's the "See I told you so"  effect.
But in any other context I feel more like this:

I don't expect every person to like me for who I really am, but I don't want people to make judgements about me that are false or based on a misunderstanding of me. Sure it can be amusing to prove wrong those who underestimate you, but it gets frustrating after so much of it. I'd so much rather that people just automatically understand me, instead of having to explain or prove anything to them |
I don't like being misjudged. I may brush it off, but if it keeps up or I'm in a sensitive mood then it gets me really down....  |
