Underrated. I say this because if you were overrated, this comes with harsh criticism at times. On the other hand, when you're underrated, you can surprise people and do some amazing things when it's least expected of you.

It is better to be underrated by overrated people than to be overrated by underrated people. What?

If your talking about work, being overrated is good because you look good in the boss' eye.. but can cause you to be overloaded with work. Being underrated can keep the workload low, but also puts you lower on the totem pole, meaning you may be the first to go.

It goes both ways.
If people overrate me, then I feel like I'm a disappointment when I fail (and since I'm not perfect, it happens.)
But if someone underrates me, then I feel like a loser anyway--I mean, I'm smart, intelligent, and completely competent. So, I'd rather people not think that I'm this big schmuck, although it IS nice to see the look on their faces when I succeed.

It depends on the scenario, you're not going to get that job if they underrate you but people will think you're a fraud if you can't deliver because they overrated you.
Who are these people and why are they judging me?

U*nderrated is better. You can then just slide by with things. Overrated, you're kinda stuck to a high expectation.

Definitely. If people over-estimate your strengths/abilities/whatever then nothing you do will ever live up to their expectations, and you may find yourself being taken advantage of. If, however, people under-estimate you, then your hard work will not go unrecognised ... and you will always have the advantage of the element of surprise

I'd have to say under rated. This way you can always surprise some people. People sometimes over rate me, and I take it likely. It's no biggy whether or not they judge me like that, but it helps when people put good word for me in certain situations. ;]

Why all this deception? Let people get to know you, and exactly what you're capable of. Then there won't be any surprises or disappointments!
