See that one thing that means a lot to you? It probably is the reason someone else thinks you are petty. See, the thing that means a lot to us unfortunately hardly ever makes sense to most other people; it’s sad but true. They could be friends, family, a lover perhaps or just a stranger. And we can’t blame them, because we all have different mindsets, which lead to us having different behavioural patterns hence we value different things.
The truth is no one ever really understands. We live in a man-eat-man society where everyone is trying to keep himself happy in as much means as possible, even at the expense of other’s happiness. Most people don’t care, they are just curious when they ask about what is bothering you.
Living and expecting people to understand and accept you for who you are is like cutting onions with a blunt knife. It always leads to one thing; tears. However, the fact that nobody agrees with you, or sees sense in what makes you happy or sad, should not make you cover up your feelings, Or stay depressed wishing someone understood.
There is always a way out, look for a counsellor, a stranger in that case, because strangers are less likely to judge you compared to people you know. Use them as an outlet and let out what is bothering you. Do not go and commit suicide. Don’t cry everyday.
And hey, you can talk to me as well. I am considered petty by many and I therefore understand what kind of struggle you are enduring. Chat me up on WhatsApp and who knows what, We might become great buddies. Have a nice time.
