Why don't they understand me?

Well, I guess my answer will be like some other people's answers here. I know it might sound classic, but it's true to my case. People don't understand me because I am unique. There is this drive in me trying to act like the mainstream to get their approval. But it doesn't last long usually. The stronger part in me, which is the unique-different me, will soon make me not at peace with myself. Then I stop looking for approval, because it hurts more being not approved by myself. From then on, I can continue my journey being myself. I am unique. It's okay not to be understood by others.
