THE ONE IN ME

Many of us feel that we are misunderstood by others. Those include our own family members, our close friends and relatives, our superiors and coworkers and the list may go on and on. Why it happens so? Is it so that we are not able to present our true self. Generally people on first sight of a new one who could be moved around closely in the future, create a person in him. Later if the same person is found in him, he may fall in the category of the expected personality. Even a minor variation noticed shall make him a strange one and all that is observed in him shall be seen as strange and negative.

Those around us always expect our personality to be one matching with their design. If not, we cannot be in the category of good one. They will never try to see the true person in us. But by the time they realise our true self it would be confined to a few words, "I am sorry for I couldn't understand you."

Therefore, it is always preferable for us not to compromise our self for the sake of another. That should be allowed to be retained as the real self. Whenever we present ourselves let us present our true self with all its plus and minus. So that others will pick up us fast and will accept or reject as it is before any give and take or any obligation on either side.
