I Understand

Michelle Bengtson
Viral - No matter what, I will never again let ANYONE convince me I'm crazy or insecure for having a normal reaction to their hurtful behavior. I’ve spent too much time second-guessing myself, replaying conversations in my head, wondering if I was too sensitive or too emotional—when in reality, I was simply human. I’ve tolerated manipulation disguised as love, endured silence when I needed honesty, and accepted blame just to keep the peace. But I see clearly now. I understand that my reactions were not overreactions—they were responses to pain, disrespect, and emotional neglect. I’ve grown tired of questioning my reality because someone else couldn’t take responsibility for theirs. I now recognize the difference between emotional immaturity and genuine care, between control and connection, between criticism and accountability. I will no longer apologize for drawing boundaries that protect my well-being. I will no longer downplay my feelings just to make others more comfortable. My intuition speaks louder than doubt, and I will honor that voice within me every single time. I’ve learned that not everyone will understand me, and not everyone has the capacity to treat others with kindness and empathy—and that’s okay. It’s not my job to shrink, explain, or overextend myself to be loved. I am not difficult for expecting respect. I am not broken for feeling deeply. And I am not ‘too much’ just because I ask for what I need. From this point on, I choose clarity over confusion, peace over chaos, and truth over denial. I will walk away from anyone who distorts my reality or dismisses my pain. I will no longer carry the weight of other people’s inability to communicate, care, or change. I am reclaiming my power, my worth, and my voice—and I refuse to ever let someone make me feel small in the presence of my own truth again.
