What do you understand by being "Misunderstood"?

The word Misunderstood in my own perspective is what telling someone something or advising someone but he or she takes it in another way, that is your positive advice become negative to him or her.
So in this case the person you advise is being misunderstood , taking what you do to him as nothing , having wrong impression about what you said or wrong ideas about it.
So in total, the word Misunderstood simply means having wrong interpretation or impression about what someone told you.

Have you found yourself in such a situation, if yes, kindly share with us your experience.

Please permit me to say that No ome without experience this concept.
To me "YES" ,my own case was so funny and interesting to learned for subsequent life occurrence, there's a Man that live closer to me in the first compound that I stayed 2 years ago,so je had two children and a house mate,so they use to be sending the house mate different house work
This girl will be working from morning till evening, taking care of even the other children that are bigger than her, I have been seeing this activities going on and I felt bad, imagine the house mate cooking food and save the 2 children and even go and Cal then to go and ate their food.
This things have been going on in that family, for the period of 2 years that I live in that street,the worst part of it, was that they sent the house mate to school and she has to finish everything in the house before going to her own school, even when the the 2 children of her master are going to school early, she will be going at late time, which is bad.
So I call the father that I was close to, telling him about somethings I have observed in his family, that if he is aware of the activities going on in his family, that the house mate is the one doing everything at home,even when he is around that this is not good, because it's even pushing his children into a lizzy world, and that the house mate will be of advantage in future life than his children.

My steemians,it was a serious matter that even the man put it to another reasoning, saying that am disturbing the peace in his family and not allowing his house mate to be good, doing house work,so i was feeling disappointed for advice I was giving to a family Man as a friend.

How did you feel and how did you handle the misconception?

I felt bad and very unhappy about that response or reply he gave me.
How I handled it was so simple to me,I take it as a mistake I made,at the moment i tried to swallow my echo and allow peace to reign.
It something I would have reacted,so I put self control to overwhelm the situation.

Is there any advice you would love to give to your readers so they don't find themselves in your shoes.

Yes,I have advice to give to my readers • Don't always go into people issues, give room for experience. • Allow peace to reign when ever you are experiencing this things •Stand in your true always but be diplomatic in nature in taking action. * Don't be self centered in giving advice.

Let me still add this,we should understand the kind of people we shared ideas with to avoid embarrassment, not everyone that welcome advice, people are out there are looking for good advice to live in this world., and we should learn a lot from our past
