The Pain of Being Misunderstood

I invite you to consider not only what are the ways or themes that show up in terms of me being misunderstood, but who are the people who it actually hurts you when they misunderstand you. I know for some people, those comments can be very hurtful. People may learn them in their family of origin in their schools, they may pick it up in literature. It is everywhere and unfortunately quite common. So those are just three of the things to consider as you think about being misunderstood. Your communication, other people's life history, and also the realities of stereotypes.
