Do you feel misunderstood in your life?

[HawkPerception]

mis

Yes

No

[thegreenyogi]

At times I do especially from family that is constantly trying to pressure me into doing things they think I should do by insinuating at times that my decision not to conform is because I am hiding something.

[kmg9150]

Damn someone relates.

[thegreenyogi]

Lol!! Yeah.

[VioletHaze]

Yeah. I don't think anyone truly knows me. Even I get confused at times 😅

[ohsheeT]

Yes i believe so and it's my fault because of the way I speak A lot of times I do it on here when answering questions I read the questions but I get a Vibe of what they are really wanting to know so I take it even further to the next step just like my answer right here LOL it's probably misunderstood but it's all good

[Chazmatazz269]

Misunderstood would be a nice upgrade.
Nobody cares to understand me, and i know that i’m not in the minority.

[DishLady]

Everyone has those moments.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

People will never understand you. Even if they get close. They'll rarely really "get" you completely.

That's been my experience and that's as someone who's opened up to people knowing and accepting I was going to get burned from the beginning.

It takes a long time for people to get to know you. You'll be with a group and someone will try to make you look like a liar or selfish or whatever it is that helps them in that moment. This happens to all of us every day.

But after enough time, the consistency in your personality shines through and that's how people begin to trust you.

You have to get the skin which let's you walk through the fire.

[Beckybooboo]

I guess I have without knowing. I'm very shy and quiet when I meet new people but eventually open up. Friend's have told me that they thought I was kind of a bitch and unfriendly when we first met. Then they thought I was on drugs once I became more comfortable and outgoing lol

[usernameobvious]

Lol indeed

[MissSunshine2]

Yes, sometimes; but I realised I was playing a martyr. I stepped into the role of group mum in my friend group and then when I had problems, not everyone was up to solving mine. I learnt from that to become more self centred in some ways (learning to step back as group mother); and less so in others (expecting too much perfection from my friends).

[Shiprex]

It's a tough one to feel misunderstood but I am very much on my own so not too many folk are able to make me feel this way.
Do I understand myself? Not 100% because I know from moment to moment my motivation and self awareness change based on internal and external aspects of life.

[usernameobvious]

Sometimes lol 🤣 but then I just remind myself as a comfortable coping healthily that

"Well often it's other people / juggling other people's parameters"


Ahhhaha- ahahahahaha

[kmg9150]

ain't no feeling, I know I am. Whats shit kd when you paint the picture, hand over all the facts and they still want to ignore it.

[CyberGhost615]

When I was younger, yes. I wanted to be liked by everyone. You just get to a point where you learn people an society don’t give two tugs about you. The sooner you accept that, the easier it is.

[Lukegreenger]

Yeah, I don't know. I don't consider myself a bad person or anything, but a lot of people see me as selfish, good for nothing. I try to help however I can. I ended up living on the streets because I gave everything for someone who abandoned me. I miss my sister, and my family hates me... I don't know what to do with my life. I'm writing here because I don't have any friends who will reply or listen to me. I'm sf tired.

[HawkPerception]

Sorry to hear that man. It really is a rough world out there. I wish I could help your situation, but all I can do is wish you the best

[Lukegreenger]

Thanks man, I appreciate that

[Rapport]

At times, but sometimes I feel like people that “misunderstand” you do it because they don’t like you.

[Xawyx-2]

Very often, but not always... depends, some people actually understand me.

[LC75LC71]

I did when I was younger, like until my mid 20's.

[andreasderjuengere]

I have no desire to be ''understood'' by a majority of the world population.

The few who count - DO understand me.

[Twodogs0525]

I've never really thought about it but a quick answer is no.

[Bricealan]

@HawkPerception No, always perfectly understood, and I make that always the case.

[Tomislav7]

No I believe everyone knows everything there is to know about me and I believe I've learned everything I need to know

[_Jenny_]

@HawkPerception yes, most of the time

[LazerBean]

Not really, no. Never given it much thought though

[WhitneySnow]

For the most part, no

[exitseven]

Yes, my whole life.

[arianna1414]

Sometimes but overall no

[Cidknee]

Most naturally.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Yesssss
