Not everyone has to get you. A handful of people who do is a whole crowd.

GRATITUDE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Being understood widely is not the same as being understood well, and the second one is what actually holds. Most people will only ever see a slice of you, which is ordinary rather than a sign something went wrong. A few who know the whole thing can carry more weight than a large number who know the summary. The counting instinct is the problem, not the size of the group.

Think about who already knows the unedited version of you, even if that is one person. Give them your time this week, deliberately. Attention spent there tends to come back.
