"You yourself are read in so many different ways by people and you cannot control what they see. All you can do is know your intentions are good, you are good and loving, and they are probably trying their hardest to overcome a hurdle in their life. Be open, aware, and positive, and hope for the best. At the end of the day you can’t control anyone and what they think of you or how they treat you and as soon as you start examining them and not yourself, you’ve lost your self-awareness. What you can control is how you decide to act, and how you deal with that information. No one has the power to make you feel anything that you don’t decide to feel."
