I can understand, How do you feel? There are lots of different types of people in the world, it's not necessary everyone should understand you. Just be yourself don't worry about them, every time you think about this you be in depressed. So be strong from your heart.

I completely understand feeling misunderstood. I'm blunt and honest about how I feel and what I say to people. I feel like people hide who they are and try to appear like they don't have issues. They don't want to appear weak or feel judged. It's hard to have REAL conversations with these types of people.

I am sorry my friend for what you feel, sometimes it’s just that people are different and they usually take and understand things from their own unique world which is not the same for all of us. It seems not easy to find people who can understand you the way you are, but they are there maybe it is just a matter of time. And you are here with great people who are understanding and supportive which is a great blessing. I hope you will feel better and always remember we are all here for you. Sending you all my love

It happens. I've lived with it for years. You know what you mean and what others think is their problem for not helping to get a better understanding. Don't let them gaslight you with their opinions. If necessary try a different approach in future, or put a question about what you want to say to them first i.e. 'test the water' before jumping in 🙂. Keep cool - stay strong.

Wow guys thanks for the responses...I have suffered this problem for years now I just end up telling everyone what they want to hear but deep down I'm like "I wish you knew how I really feel" this has affected my relationships, work ,social life and makes me wonder if I'll ever be understood by any human being I actually have been thinking getting a dog so I'll just tell her how I feel because she won't judge me like so so many people have...I just want to be treated normal I hope I'll find that here..
