Do ever feel like people just dont understand you?

Nobody's been able to understand me since I was LITTLE. When I was a kid, I would just sit around and talk to myself or my dolls and play by myself at school. I had a few friends that were just about the same way, so we would play together sometimes, but most of the time, I was on my own. As I got older, I found fewer and fewer people that would understand me, and so I just turned invisible to everyone. The feeling never went away. I still walk around sometimes and hear people talking about me like I'm not even there, and they don't notice me until I'm right up next to them. Only a few people truly understand me, and they are my closest friends.

Yes, I think we all feel that way at one time or another. It seems like we get misunderstood and people treat us unfairly because of that. Yes, I do get the feeling that people sometimes don't understand me.

I always feel that way. I dont expect people to understand me anyway. There are people I know who really understands me and they are my sisters. My sisters and I have been to lot of things and they are the only person I can turn to whenever I have some problems. I love my sisters very much.

Hi apples99! I am quite a bit older than you and sometime I feel that way to this day. What I do is that I talk it out and if I can't do that I write my feeling into my little notebook and that seems to help. Take care Snow

i go through it almost everyday... and a lot of people like to assume that they do understand me

yes i also experienced the same thing sometimes.They misunderstood some things that i said and they took it in the negative way. And because they are older than me, i just keep quiet and i don't force them to understand me. But sometimes, i realize i have to express what is really here inside me, because its not bad to try to make them understand my feelings, maybe they will get me correctly this time, hopefully.

i have fibromyalgia and get the subsequent brain fog that goes along with it plus i sleep horribly at night and i often feel that people dont get me or think i must be dumb or something.

Yes, I often feel that some people just don't understand me and/or what I'm trying to say and do. It's not always the case and it's the case with everyone that I'm close to, but it is the case with some people. In these case, I do feel somewhat lonely.

Yes! All the time! My family is like that with me. Some of my friends are like that and most of the people I work with don't understand me either! So many people think they have me figured me out and they arn't even close! I try to hard to get people to understand me. I think I do it because I want to be understood,to be excepted and loved. I have found out in the world and on Mylot I over due it! Then everything blows up in my face! I piss people off,I have lost friends that way, and then I make myself bummed out! I am pretty messed the way I sound! If I had some self confidence I wouldn't be driving myself crazy!

When they never pay attention just pretend to listen that may be annoying. So many times I need to repeat what i have to say to make the other person know what i am talking too. The lose of connection is detrimental to a relationship bound to fail when it happen most of the times. Communication is very essential for better understanding with the absence of focus it may also mean lose of respect and lost in terms of better connection.

thay can not gets what im saying.

yes it always happens with me.....afterall, its a part of life.

i do feel that way all the time, apples99.im tired telling them the same thing again and again yet they don't seem to understand it. or just simply ignore it.it's really hurt me.sometimes i just think it is not because they don't understand it but they simply do not want to listen to it.if it is not because of reponsibility i wont bother them anymore.

Feeling misunderstood is probably the worst feeling that can occur in our lives. It can bring your whole being down. But it's also a test of how strong you believe in what you do, think and how other people's opinions matter for you or they influence you in what way. Maybe misundersttod is much of the times an after effect of a long time business with someone because most of the people can hide and not show if you don't really understand them or if they don't understand you. It's maybe better when it's on a larger scale but in small times it's better to say what you think and don't let the tension be like a pyramid of height and in one moment it's ruined because of it's unstableness. Misunderstanding between people is the most common problem and maybe an illness if I may say, because it's a start of endless other problems which lead to a total breakdown of any human made machine or mechanism. I mean a little understanding is what we need to be searching for and the bigger issues will be solved after the long go, don't you think this is the easier and more apropriate way. And having a bad day is no excuse, may be it was but maybe it wasn't thing should be as accurate and concrete as possible :)

Oh all the time.

Hi apples All the time. Maybe I just can't express myself properly...I don't know. Even my husband doesn't seem to "get" me. I am not a stupid person, but the feeling of being misunderstood all the time makes me feel that way. I have no idea how to get over it. Anymore, I just keep my comments and opinions to myself to avoid trouble.
