You don’t know yourself all that well - so how can you expect anybody else to? Who do you want them to take you as? How can they know who they’re dealing with when you don’t even know, exactly? It’s just a fact! Do you know your thoughts, emotions, body, and how they come together in your actions? Do you know who and what you are? Can anyone else be expected to?
If only you were to stop losing so much energy by insisting that others take you this way or that; stop expecting so much from ’them’.
If you are not working to know the ‘who and what of yourself’ - then what else in god’s name are you going to do? Play Russian roulette?
At the end of the road is a very big something:

’TO KNOW THYSELF

IS TO KNOW THY LORD’
