Hi, dear Steemians!
A lot of people think that success in life is all about your attitude and thought towards hard work and perseverance. That is why most motivational pieces are often centered around ideas regarding productivity, hope, determination, and etc.
But being successful and living a fulfilled life is not just about concepts mentioned above. The way you interact with other human beings and carry your character in society determines a great deal about who you are and the kind of life that you live.
Today, we are going to talk about being understood by our fellow human beings.
Some of us are under the wrong impression that the people around us cannot really understand our feelings and thoughts.
In truth, we are the ones who shut ourselves away and do not open up about such feelings and beliefs to those closest to us.
We erroneously believe that they should be able to guess or predict how we are feeling or what we are thinking about.
This roots back to when we were merely infants. In that time, our needs and desires were quite simple.
We were either hungry, tired, or dirty. If not that, we humbly needed someone to comfort us and take us in their embrace.
But as we grew older, our needs, feelings, thoughts, and desires grew more and more complicated with us.
The only difference being, that we still think that other people should ‘understand’ us and that we don’t need to explain ourselves.
This is as wrong as it is dangerous to our well-being. We cannot expect people to take up subtle clues and understand our inner dilemmas. What would be the point of communication and talking if all our inner desires and needs were apparent?
When we think like this, we tend to get irritated when other people do not understand us. We might think that they are distant, aloof, or simply, too stupid to understand the complexity of our character.
The result of this is bitter isolation. The feeling of being left out. The feeling of not belonging.
This is hugely important because it indicates how we conduct ourselves in social situations. Our relationships with different people play a huge role in our happiness and success.
Being able to open up and actually ‘speak’ is really important if we want other people to understand us.
The feeling of loneliness that drives from the idea that there aren’t a whole lot of people who understand us can be truly devastating.
Change that by letting go of your ego and opening up to those that you can trust. The result will be a state of peace and inner tranquility that will surprise you.
A BIG HUG!
