We’ve all faced moments where others misjudge or misunderstand us. It's frustrating and can make us feel isolated or alone. Have you ever been seen as someone you're not? Maybe someone thought you were mean or selfish, and you wondered, "Where did that come from?" We all have times when others get us totally wrong. Have you ever said one thing, but someone heard something completely different? Miscommunication happens often, and it can lead to misunderstandings. Have you ever met someone and found they weren’t anything like you thought? Maybe you had a preconceived notion, but when you met them, they surprised you.
