Being misunderstood by others is a very uncomfortable experience, sometimes we choose to take the initiative to explain, and sometimes we can only adjust our own mentality.
Probably the most common places in our lives where misunderstandings occur are at work, between family and friends. Sometimes, we hear misunderstandings from others, and then we have the opportunity to explain them. However, there are times when others misunderstand us in their hearts but don't say it, and we do obviously know that the other person has misunderstood, but we don't have a chance to explain. At this time, we may feel very aggrieved and even a little angry. But if we can think differently and look at the matter of being misunderstood from a Buddhist perspective, we might get some enlightenment. Buddhism believes that being misunderstood is the other person who removes your karma, that is, it is helping you to remove your karma and make you more pure and kind. Therefore, when we are misunderstood, we should be grateful and not resentful because of it. In fact, this misunderstanding is also helping us to better understand ourselves and make us more mature and stable.
Being misunderstood is a painful experience, but it can also be an opportunity for us to grow. Therefore, when faced with other people's misunderstandings, we can choose to think calmly, empathize or communicate directly to solve them.
