About This Quote

When people feel that they have been misunderstood, they think that there is a strong possibility that they have been misjudged. They go to extreme lengths to correct this misunderstanding and become upset when it doesn’t change the way the person feels about them. If a person understands another person, however, there is no reason for them to be upset.
