Pretty much I just think a lot of misconceptions about players and how they are comes from the lack of OOC communication. If someone has nothing but the IC behavior of a character, they cannot technically make a sound judgment about the person, but at the same time... they can't really see the player for anything but the character.
On the devil's advocate side of things, sometimes people are more similar to their character than they realize. The case of IC bleeding into OOC. Or... they are rping a character actually how they are.
On the more realistic point of view, most of it I think is miscommunication and lack of communication. The best thing you can do is just keep being yourself and not let it affect you (easier said than done) if it is actually is malicious it will end up backfiring on them if you don't 'take the bait.' If it is merely a misunderstanding and you give it a chance likely time+communication=betterallaroundrelationships.
