One of the most frustrating things in life is knowing that someone is out there misrepresenting you, twisting your story to suit their narrative. We all know people who harbor hate, resentment, or bitterness towards themselves but instead of confronting those emotions, they choose the easier route—projecting them onto someone else. More often than not, the person they focus on is you.
They’ll talk about you, create false narratives, and spread misinformation. Why? Because it’s easier for them to tear someone else down than it is to lift themselves up. It’s a reflection of their inner turmoil and not a true reflection of who you are. It’s their way of hiding from their own inadequacies, insecurities, and fears.
But here’s the thing—they can try to change how others see you, but they cannot change who you are. When people buy into those lies without taking the time to know you for you, it’s their loss, not yours. They miss out on experiencing the authenticity, kindness, and strength you bring to the table.
People will talk. That’s just human nature. But at the end of the day, what matters most is how you feel about yourself. Don’t let someone else’s bitterness steal your joy or change the way you see yourself. Continue being unapologetically you, and trust that the right people will see through the noise and appreciate you for who you truly are.
