I understand that but what if they actually donu understand me and I have done a terrible job of expressing myself

You can’t control how people react to you, unfortunately. This has been my mantra for about a year now and it’s incredible how much I’ve caught myself attempting the Sisyphean task of taking control over how people perceive me and react to that perception. There’s no point in wrestling people into communicating with you properly. It usually just results in anxiety or in you accidentally communicating extra information that you didn’t intend.

For me it's not how people react to me, it's more that I find it absurdly important to get point I'm trying to make across perfectly and try to prevent any possible miscommunication
