Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, people think they know who you are but get it completely wrong. They might judge you based on how you look, what you say, or the choices you make without really understanding your true feelings or intentions. It’s like when a student in school speaks very little because they're shy, and others believe they're unfriendly or uninterested. In reality, this student wants to join in but feels nervous or unsure about how to start a conversation. When the world misunderstands you, it can be very frustrating and lonely because you feel no one truly sees the real you. To deal with this, you could try to communicate more clearly about your feelings and reasons behind your actions. For example, if you’re working on a project and people think you're not contributing, explain what tasks you’ve done and the new ideas you wish to share. It might also help to find people who are more willing to listen and understand you better. Think about famous artists whose work was deemed strange during their time but later appreciated for its beauty and originality. Their true genius was recognized only when people began to see beyond their initial judgments. Similarly, by being patient and finding ways to express yourself, you can help others see who you really are.
