An experience of being misunderstood (diary/practice)

I have a very unforgettable experience of being misunderstood. In my first year in high school, I had a good friend. We got along with each other very well and we often talked about our life and discussed the problems we had in school. We always shared our joys and sorrows.

Every time I was in the bad mood or didn’t do well on the test, she would encourage me and made me feel relived. I also listened to her patiently when she got into troubles. We cared about each other so much that we thought of each other as part of our family. One of our ways to communicate with each other is through our own blogs on the Internet. Both of us have the same interest in our free time. We enjoyed reading the article on our blog through the web site. And when the next time we turned on the computer, we would know what happened to each other these days and also understood each other more through the blog.

But one night I got an e-mail from her, in the mail she told me that she felt very disappointed at me, and she didn’t want to be my friend anymore! I was very shocked at that time. I called her back immediately, but no one answer the phone. I was so confused and I didn’t know what to do. So I turned on my computer and tried to figure out what had happened between us. Finally I realized the whole thing. It’s because one of an article post in my blog. In the article, I mentioned that some of my friends’ behaviors made me feel uncomfortable and how they made me feel angry. After reading the article, she got so mad at me because she thought she was the one I talked about in my article. But actually, I didn’t mean it. She got angry at me and didn’t listen to me. I’d tried hard to explain to her, but in vain. She didn’t want to talk to me and even deliberately stayed away from me. I was so sad and also was a little annoyed at her.

Finally, I decided to tell her how I felt and what I thought about on my blog. I typed my words on my blog because I was sure that she would see it. I also told her how much I cared about her and what the friendship meant to me. After a few days, I finally got a friendly response. She passed me a letter and she apologized to me. I was so happy when I saw it. I hastened to her and gave her a big hug. And we never have an argument anymore.
