If others are misinterpreting what you say, accept part of the blame. Giving an unclear explanation of what you’re feeling and then getting annoyed when they don’t understand you isn’t productive. Get more specific in your communication and a marvelous thing will happen: people will know what you want and work harder to give it to you. This is especially true in romantic relationships, but it applies everywhere else too.

If something seems impossible, that’s exactly what you should be working toward. Can’t imagine ever talking to your adorable neighbor? Start with a smile. You’ll work your way up to a long chat!

First you were convinced that money proved your inner value, and now you’re concerned it’s not making you valuable enough in the eyes of others. Spend time working on the real issue. Your illusions about money are your biggest problem.
