Realize the certainty of being misunderstood or misunderstanding what others have said is inevitable. 

Remember, you cannot always control how others interpret your words, actions, or motives. 

1 Peter 2:21–23 “For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly.
