You can always be misunderstood. Be kind anyway.
I learn now that it is so easy to be misunderstood by people, no matter how hard you try to do everything right, or how you try to understand people, or how a system works. No matter how good the person you think you have been all this time, there will be times you will be misunderstood and even misjudged, sometimes from the people you didn't expect to do so.
If you think you can be soft so that people will easily understand you, then maybe you need to think about it again. I have been soft (most of the time) and still being misunderstood. Some people think I am too slow and apathetic and unmotivated when I am actually being soft. When I am being stubborn and headstrong because of having a mood swing or a bad day or somebody just pisses me off, some people think I am disrespectful or have a bad-manner, when I am actually just trying hard not to burst into negative emotion.
I learn now that it is hard to please everyone. You can't expect everyone you meet to understand you or even care about your feelings, and you don't have to try hard to prove yourself right or to justify yourself to people. Really. You don't have to try hard to please everyone, because not everyone is willing to understand.
I also learn that it is better to accept what you are made of inside, embrace yourself, and be who you are. You need to realize even when you have tried to the best version of yourself, you will still be misunderstood by some people, and it is okay. Because people like them also help you to become who you are today, or tomorrow. Never let other people's negativity get you away from enjoying your life, or stealing your joy. Always be true to yourself. Never expect everyone to understand you the way you always to understand others. The ones who show kindness are the bravest and strongest. Always be kind! <3
