Not everyone goes through the same things in life. For instance, even if 100 people we're to go through the same exact problem at the same exact time, we would all take it differently. Just like all humans our different, they way we react and handle situations are distinctive too. We may be able to empathize and understand but never to the extent of the person who faced it.

They can't understand what I'm saying because they're not able to look at my problem from my perspective.

Speak soft words and hard arguments. That's best you can do. If they still don't understand, then maybe they are at different intellectual level than yours. So, first try to bridge that gap.

A lot of people ask this question. I think the only knowledgeable answer is that: They have not had the same experience. They haven't been through what you had to struggle through. Thus, they do not understand.

Sometimes people don't understand what is being said is because they hear but aren't listening.The only way to understand is to listen.

Because you dream too big and they think too small. You are extraordinary in your own way and so brilliant that anyone less than that isn't able to understand.

They most likely can't understand what you're saying because they haven't gone though the experience. Nobody around me understand my problems because they are either too wrapped up in their problems or because they don't know what exactly I'm going through. Please, go to someone you know have had experience of your problems, or know it very well, most likely a therapist, to vent about it.

Because they don't know what you have been through so it's hard for them to understand. They may try to help but in actuality they can't. The only ones who can help are the people who know what you're going through.

"First seek to understand and then to be understood" Understand why they don't understand it might be because they don't know your situation well, or because you don't say stuff clear enough, maybe you don't put emotion into it.

Sometimes people can only understand what they've experienced personally. That's why it helps to find people who have been through the same kind of struggles to help you understand yourself and others.
