Have you ever listened to someone who thought that their life struggles were worse than yours? No matter what, it seemed like their mind-frame is already set to auto-pilot? 

When this type of mind-frame is set, it makes them see you in a different light and they refuse to see you for who you truly are. The sad thing is, and wait for it, they don't even know what YOU have been through. 

"So how exactly are they assessing me" you ask?...

...Clearly through a judgemental window. 

Most of the time if we get to know people we'll see that we might have a lot in common. 

I'm saying that we need to stop and think that maybe this image one might have of someone else is  something THEY want to see and not because the other person had been putting on a façade, but because it's what they are choosing to see. 

It's frustrating. It's frustrating because no matter how hard you try to be the best you can, it's never enough for them and you realize that their expectations for you are just too high.

Unfortunately living life like that is only harmful because one day, and unexpectedly, that image will truly be shattered before your eyes...
