When you’re used to give
and give, rarely take and even more rarely ask for things, people will think
that you have everything and almost never believe that you need something.
When you smile all the
time, people will think that your entire life is flawless, that your hidden
heart knows no sorrows, no worries, no tears.
When
you're always calm and serene, people will see you as a hideous
abnormality when you dare having a completely human normal well-deserved
breakdown.
When you are quiet most
of the time and avoid crowds, people will think that you don’t like being
surrounded by others, that you don’t like to spend time with others, that you
don’t like the people.
When you are always comforting
the others when they are sad or depressed, people will think that you don’t ever
need a shoulder to cry on, or a helping hand, or simply, someone to be there
and listen.
When you have a relationship,
people will think that you have all you need and that you have no right to
complain. You should be happy only because you have someone to love and to be
loved by, they would say.
When you like to be
alone once in a while, people will think that you are a freak and shouldn’t be
disturbed.
When you don't speak too much,
people will think that you have nothing interesting to say and they will most
likely interrupt you with what they think is the most important story in the
world.
When you don’t have what
they call “normal activities”, people will say you are weird and care too
little to accept that each person’s normality is different from their own and to
appreciate the uniqueness
in every human being that crosses their path.
The question is: will
anyone ever really-really understand, if you make an effort to explain?
