Quote by Jodi Picoult

When you're different, sometimes you don't see the millions of people who accept you for what you are. All you notice is the person who doesn't.

When you're different, sometimes you don't see the millions

Summary

This quote highlights the common experience of feeling isolated or judged as someone who is different from the majority. It emphasizes how we have a tendency to focus on the negative reactions of one person, overshadowing the acceptance and support of countless others. Despite the vast number of individuals who embrace and appreciate our unique traits, it is often the person who disagrees or disapproves that dominates our attention. This quote is a reminder to shift our perspective and acknowledge the acceptance we receive rather than solely dwelling on those who reject us.
