Do you get upset or annoyed when others perceive you in a different way then what you intended?

I work hard on staying positive in my life even when others perceive me in a way that makes no sense to me.

I cannot do anything about how others perceive me. I can only do what I am able to keep working towards not being dragged down by others points of view about me.

Wishing everyone well is the only thing I can do if anyone sees me as anything that's not positive.

Too many of us look at others to brighten their day. There's nothing wrong with that if it's being reciprocated. I have an issue when others always want me to brighten their day and they do nothing to brighten mine.

It works both ways. Holy Moly.

One should be themselves and when someone perceives you as different than you are. Take a moment to review yourself. You may be projecting something different, but then they just may have a skewed perspective.

Who we are perceived as is often more powerful than who we really are. Make the two match, but don't worry about the outliers.
