What is Misjudged?

The other person has formed an impression of you that does not match who you actually are. Being misjudged feels particularly painful because it happens in the very space where you hoped to be known. It creates a longing to be given another chance to be seen more accurately.

When you might feel misjudged

Misjudged is a specific form of misunderstood, which itself is a type of strained. You might experience this feeling in situations where strained is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define misjudged.
