Thank God for being misunderstood? -- (2)

It is very easy to feel hurt when you feel you are misunderstood by someone.
Just be careful, though, not to be dwelling on your own feeling. When that person said something which may have hurt you, he usually do not mean to hurt you, or he usually have a certain good intention for you (such as to help you, advise you, encourage you, let you learn, let you grow, etc.), which should come from his good conscience. Do not forget to pay attention to that. Then you may find gratitude in that situation. However, we do have a tendency to dwell on our own feeling (victim mentality), and lose our precious chance to find higher level of love, relationship, and our potential. And instead we would be building a defensive wall around us. Watch out!
Before reacting according to your emotion, try to control your month, have a deep breath, and try to see from different perspective like above. Then, be happy!

Another point is that when you feel hurt, consider that as a very important moment to think about a possibility that you might be giving somebody around you such feeling without your being aware of it. People may not tell you when they get hurt by your word. Therefore, it is a good chance for you to think about that, which might help your betterment.
