You know yourself mostly by your thoughts. Everyone else knows you by your actions.

“You know yourself mostly by your thoughts. Everyone else in the world knows you only by your actions. Remember this when you feel misunderstood. You have to do or say something for others to know how you feel.”

Quote by James Clear, author of the book “Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones”

Note: This does not guarantee that people will understand you, as they may have their own reasons to choose not to, but at least it increases the chance that they might.
