Misunderstood

The pain of feeling misunderstood.

Why don’t you get me?

Maybe a better question to ask is why don’t I get myself?

I have been trying to get people to understand me my whole life.

To accept me for who I am.

I have tried to fit in so I feel understood.

I have sacrificed who I am.

I haven’t been true to my soul.

The truth is I haven’t understood myself.

I haven’t accepted who I am.

I have sacrificed myself to try to fit in with the crowd.

It hasn’t felt safe to be me.

I feel trapped and powerless when I try to conform to how the world wants me to be.

I give my power away when I deny who I am.

It’s OK to be quiet.

It’s OK to be an introvert.

It’s OK to love to be alone.

It’s OK to appreciate one-on-one meaningful conversation in a quiet setting and not loud parties.

It’s OK to be highly sensitive.

I realize now that the only thing that matters is that I understand myself.

To have radical self-acceptance.

I am at peace with who I am.

I am at peace with life.

You don’t have to get me.

I would like it if you accepted me for who I am.

But I will be alright if you don’t.

It’s not alright if I don’t accept myself.

There is a problem if I don’t understand myself.

It’s futile to get people to understand me.

It’s exhausting.

Shift from feeling powerless to being radically free.

I get to be me.

I embrace being misunderstood.

I am inspired to be me more than ever.

This is a stepping stone of letting go of caring of what others think of me.

I commit to seeing myself through no matter what.

I commit to a deeper understanding of myself.

I commit to Self-knowing.

I commit to loving myself unconditionally.

I commit to embracing myself as a misfit.

I commit to understanding myself letting go of feeling misunderstood.

I am safe.

I am at peace.

I am at peace with life.

Surrender.

All of my needs are met.

I understand myself.
