Feeling Misunderstood

It's usually the people you care about who ends up saying the most hurtful things.

It's true on two counts:

1. If it were a stranger commenting on how you've put on weight (for instance), chances are, you'd be upset but the comment won't sting very much.

2. If it's someone you cared about, anything that they say will undoubtedly have a greater effect, whether positive or negative.

When you truly care about someone, you'd expect the person to be honest with you (that's a given). But when they don't even bother trying to understand you, and accuse you along with what others say, you'd wonder why you even bothered in the first place.

Am I right? Or am I right?
