I comment I often hear.

Such frustration comes about because we allow others views of our
actions to have an effect on us, and is only a result of the observer
'putting themselves (mentally projecting) into your position' , which
is the basis of illusion, and the cause of all interpersonal conflict.

How could they not see differently? They are not you, and have their
own unique accumulation of experiences.

Just because you become aware of this reality, dont expect others to.
In fact, it can present a greater challenge to those who try to be
sure of themselves by convincing others.

The cause of all religions.

So true. I often find myself explaining something, just to realize
later that they probably would have understood it better if I hadn't
explained it at all, and had just let them figure it out for
themselves.

But if you never bring it up, or it's never spoken of, would they
figure it out? Probably. All in good time.

We all need to pass on what we know, whether it is in the way we
behave, verbally or artistically.
