You don’t know me
That statement is true for everyone.
Even if you are the person closest to me, you still don’t know me.
You don’t know my thoughts, my insecurities, my dreams.
You don’t know what I have struggled with daily within my own consciousness.
If you only somewhat know me, for example, have worked with me, or taken a class with me, then you truly have no idea the person I am.
You have no right to try to present yourself as superior to me. What is it about me that you feel you must best?
You don’t know that your attitude and your words hurt. You don’t know that every day, without your help, I feel inadequate enough, small enough, inferior enough. For me to have confidence is a struggle, an effort, something that I consciously have to apply myself to. I don’t need your help to feel bad about myself.
So please, have to decency to realize you are not the most important person right now. No one is. Everyone struggles. You don’t know my story, I don’t know yours. So don’t criticize me, when you don’t even know who I am.
