You Are Not Responsible for Their Distorted Perception of You by Adeline Atlas

You are not here to manage how people misinterpret your energy, your boundaries, or your truth. You are here to walk in alignment — not performance. Stand in your clarity, and let their projections bounce off your peace.*


You are not responsible for anyone’s distorted perception of you. Read that again. Because far too often, we carry the weight of how others misread us, mislabel us, misquote us, and misunderstand our intentions — and it’s exhausting. You start wondering, “Did I say it wrong?” “Did I come off too strong?” “Should I have explained more?” But here’s the truth: it’s not your job to curate your clarity so that someone else's unhealed lens can comprehend it.
People will see you based on where they are, not who you are. And if they’re in a place of confusion, insecurity, fear, or ego — they’ll filter your truth through that frequency. Your boundaries become “cold.” Your confidence becomes “arrogance.” Your clarity becomes “controlling.” But none of that has anything to do with you. That’s just their internal dialogue trying to attach a narrative to your presence.


And if you’re not careful, you’ll start shrinking to become more digestible to people who were never ready to receive you at your full strength. You’ll start softening your edges, downplaying your wisdom, doubting your gut — just to avoid being misunderstood. But hear me clearly: your job is not to be understood. Your job is to be aligned.
You don’t need to be liked by everyone to be effective. You don’t need to be approved of to be anointed. You don’t need to explain your evolution to people who only knew you in your survival season. When you stand in your truth, some people will distort it — because it challenges their comfort. And that’s okay. Let them.
You are not a projection screen.
You are not a mirror for someone else’s wounds.
You are not responsible for how someone chooses to translate your presence.
What you are responsible for? Standing firm. Rooted. Calm. Clear. Not defensive. Not reactive. Not bending every time someone mislabels your energy. Because the moment you start trying to edit yourself based on how they see you, you lose access to your own truth. And your truth? That’s your compass. That’s your currency. That’s your call.
So let them gossip. Let them assume. Let them tell their version. You don’t need to correct every misconception. You don’t need to campaign for your character. Because people who truly know your frequency won’t need the backstory. Your energy speaks louder than any explanation ever could.
This is your permission to stop internalizing distortion. To stop thinking you need to fix how people feel about you. If their lens is dirty, that’s their work. You stay clean. You stay clear. And you keep showing up in full integrity — because your alignment is not up for debate.
