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.

Yes, still pretty much.

It's up to a point understandable that people want to benefit on those people who have things to offer. That shows that there are many people so wrong or absent minded as me.
People who try to look outside what they don't find or aren't dare to look for inside.
I see your point and I'm with you. You have the right to give what you want or feel like giving in any moment.
I pretty put up with what you offer here of you. I see it very helpful and significant.

Some people will ridicule you always for things they do not understand. Will always try to bring you down to their level of misery. :)

@Justpeaceandlove: I know it. It's sometimes hard because people need to be and feel accepted but once you finally chose to be yourself no matter what, and give others' opinions their real value, that is, opinions...you become stronger and at peace with yourself.
