I have a very hard time evaluating just what people think of me, but usually, when I'm underestimated, I blame it on subtle misogyny before I blame it on me being interpreted as silly or flaky. I do seem to end up surprising people all the time with things I say and think (usually getting laughs), but that seems to drift out into respect over time.
I probably do come off as absolutely odd to strangers, though. Off-putting behavior saved with a warm sympathetic smile.
