You're part of Group 1, which tends to do [ABC] a lot. When they meet you, they assume you also tend to do [ABC]. But you don't do [ABC] at all; their assumptions are wrong. Is the responsibility on you, to try to signal you're not part of Group 1, or on them, to stop assuming?

The responsibility is on whoever wants a different result. If you want to be better known, it’s on you. If they want to better know you, or avoid potentially offending you, it’s on them. It might be on both.

Ideally, it’s on them. They have no right to assume. Realistically, if you don’t want to be identified as having the behaviors‘s of a particular group, you’ll have to differentiate yourself from the group behaviors.
