Lesson 1334: When my classmates misunderstand me, I hope someone can help me express my true feelings.
Duration:75 minutes
Topic Introduction:
For children and teenagers with disruptive mood disorder (DMDD), being misunderstood by classmates is often more painful than being scolded, because misunderstandings not only make you feel wronged, but also make you feel that "no one wants to understand me." It's not that you don't want to explain, but when a misunderstanding occurs, you're emotionally tense, breathing rapidly, and your mind is a mess, making it impossible to fully express your feelings. So what your classmates see is your sudden impulsiveness, turning away, hiding, getting angry, or refusing to communicate, but they don't know that what you really want to say is: "I didn't mean that, I was just too nervous, too flustered, too scared." This lesson will help you understand: what you need is not someone to take the blame for you, but someone who can translate your true feelings at the moment a misunderstanding occurs—letting the world know that you are not bad, not intentional, not provocative, but a sensitive child who needs to be understood. The course will combine 24 types of Eastern healing teas and 40 types of Chinese food therapy soups as comforting symbols, the steady practice of writing in clerical script, and the calm gaze of "Mandala is not about drawing something, but about looking at it," to guide you in learning how to make others more understanding of you when you are emotionally confused. It will also let you know that you deserve someone to stand by your side and help you say the truths that you didn't have time to say.

▲ AI Interaction: Write down "What I really want to say when there's a misunderstanding"“
When you're misunderstood, it's not that you have nothing to say, but rather that you have too many words stuck in your throat. This exercise helps you write those words down first.
- ① Write down the most recent situation in which you were misunderstood by a classmate (no need to write their name).
- ② Describe your outward behavior at that moment (e.g., silence, turning away, getting angry, crying, refusing to explain).
- ③ Write a sentence that says, "What I really wanted to say at that moment was..."“
- ④ Write a sentence that says, "I hope someone can help me say this..."“
(For example: "Actually, he wasn't angry; he was just too nervous.")
“"He didn't do it on purpose; he just didn't know how to express himself."

○ Emotional soothing after being misunderstood: Music therapy
After a misunderstanding, your body is usually still tense, your breathing is shallow, and your heart is racing. Music can be a tool to "calm your body" and give you a foothold in the chaos.
Choose a gentle, reassuring, and simple melody to symbolize: "I am misunderstood, but I still deserve to be understood."“
For the first 20 seconds, try to do only one thing: exhale slowly.
Then say to yourself:
“"I'm not bad, I just didn't have time to explain."”
○ Eastern Healing Tea - Lily and Goji Berry Soothing Drink
Recommended reasons:Lilies symbolize calming, softness, and peace of mind, while goji berries symbolize replenishing energy and warmth, making them ideal for restoring inner strength amidst the sensitivity and grievances of being "misunderstood."
usage:Soak 3g of lily bulbs and 6 goji berries in 90°C hot water for 6 minutes.
While drinking, say softly, "I'm not wrong, I'm just too sensitive."“
Let the aroma of tea gradually dissolve your grievances.
○ Pumpkin and Millet Soup for Peace of Mind (Chinese Food Therapy - Soup)
Children who are misunderstood often accumulate a lot of "pain of not being understood" in their hearts, and may even begin to doubt themselves.
Pumpkin and millet symbolize "warmth, softness, and stability," as if saying to you:
“"I believe you. You're not as bad as you think."”
When drinking soup, please say to yourself:
“"I deserve to be understood and to have someone explain things to me."”
It's not about shirking responsibility for you, but about helping you express your true feelings that you can't say in person.
Restore a sense of security
Suitable after interpersonal conflict

Psychological Mandala (Viewing)
Psychological Healing: Psychological Mandala - 85 Thoughts
A mandala is not about drawing something, but about observing it.
Imagine the center of the mandala as a sentence you've always wanted to say but couldn't: "I am not what you think I am."“
The patterns on the outer ring resemble different misunderstandings: someone misunderstands your tone, your actions, or your expression.
Please watch quietly, let your eyes replace your words, and let them accompany you as you slowly sort out your grievances in your heart.
When you reach the third lap, say to yourself:
“"I wish someone could help me express my true feelings."”
When watching the fourth lap, add one more sentence:
“"Even if there's no one else around, I can understand myself first."”
This is an exercise to bring your mind back to center from chaos.
○ Chinese calligraphy - Clerical script (Write a declaration for "the misunderstood me")
The clerical script has a steady, weighty feel, as if telling you: "Your feelings deserve to be heard."“
When you write down your true feelings, they are no longer so lonely.
- Sentence writing:
- I deserve to be understood.
- Someone can help speak my truth.
- Writing Tips:
- When writing, please maintain a steady rhythm, as if you are telling the world:
“"I'm not confused, I'm someone who wants to express myself but doesn't have time to."”
Every stroke brings you closer to your true self.
○ Let Misunderstandings Be Seen: Art Therapy Exercise
When you can't explain it yet, at least draw out "what happened" and "what I really want to say" to help yourself understand it better and make future communication easier.
I. Outward Appearance vs. Inner Self: A Two-Sided View
- On the left, draw "How others see me": turn off facial expressions, get angry, walk away, and remain silent.
- The right side depicts "my true self": nervous, scared, wronged, frightened, and sad.
- Write down a sentence you really want to say to yourself or someone else, such as: "I didn't mean to, I was just too flustered."“
II. Misunderstanding Situation Map
- Draw the scene where the misunderstanding occurs (classroom, playground, corridor, etc.).
- Mark "where the misunderstanding started" and "the point where my emotions changed".
- Write a sentence that says, "I hope someone will say something for me here."
