232: Feeling Misunderstood - When People Think They Know You

from The Rosie and Roula Show · host Roula Abou Haidar and Rosie Burrows

We all have moments where we realise people don’t see us the way we actually are. In this episode, Rosie and Roula talk about feeling misunderstood, from confidence that’s mistaken for having it all together, to assumptions based on appearance, personality, or past versions of who we used to be. They unpack how even the people closest to us can get it wrong, why being misunderstood can feel so unsettling, and how our inner world rarely matches what others see on the outside. The conversation moves through identity, vulnerability, feminism, growth, and the quiet frustration of being known only on the surface.Topics coveredWhat people misunderstand about usConfidence versus self doubtBeing misjudged based on appearance or personalityHow close relationships can still misunderstand usFeminism and why it’s so often misinterpretedOutgrowing old versions of yourselfWhat do you wish people understood about you that they’ve always gotten wrong?Related episodes172: What Ticks You Off?
