Summary
The reason people don't understand you, is the same reason you don't understand them. Sometimes being misunderstood is actually a blessing...especially when it comes from people who have a different heart, a different mindset, or completely different goals in life than you.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to or welcome back to trying to see care. If you're new here, my name's |
| 0:05.6 | Ashley and I upload every single Monday. We talk about friendships, we talk about relationships, |
| 0:10.3 | never getting in your 20s, mental health, and I give you some big sister advice, specifically |
| 0:15.8 | advice I wish I had in my teens and in my early 20s. One thing in particular that I wish I knew earlier, |
| 0:22.8 | I wish someone had told me, is that it's a blessing to be misunderstood. If you're a people |
| 0:29.6 | pleaser, you know how badly it hurts to feel like you've upset other people or that you |
| 0:35.5 | annoy other people or people just don't like you, |

| 1:31.3 | Of course, it's frustrating, but there's also a reason why people don't understand you, |
| 1:36.5 | and that you should be very happy about. I think it's fair to say that most people do not like |
| 1:42.6 | to be misunderstood. It's a very uncomfortable feeling, |
| 1:46.7 | but I think especially when you're very opinionated, you're very outgoing, you're very |
