Why don't they understand me?

I always have felt, and still sometimes feel, misunderstood by most people who surround me. Whether that be family, friends, or even just peers, I know the feeling of being an outcast or just misunderstood. As for why, there's millions of possibilities. Rather than pondering over the nagging thought that you're misunderstood by others, try concentrating on just being yourself. It doesn't matter if your classmates completely understand you, and most people in your life probably can't understand. Hopefully your parents will try to understand you better, but it's always a good idea to clarify and explain how you're feeling. By opening up you're allowing the other person listening to you to better know how you're feeling and thinking.

It’s always good for you to ask them to repeat back to you what you are saying if you feel they don’t understand. That’s probably one of the first steps you should take to clear up misunderstandings.

I am really sorry to hear that you feel misunderstood. I know that it can be a really difficult situation. Perhaps there is that one person whom you know will understand, try talking to them when you feel you need somebody to listen. They can even be a virtual friend or a listener here on 7 cups. I am here if you need to talk to me!

People can't read other people even if their your friends it might be a struggle but you need to speak up

It might be a misunderstanding. Some may make assumptions and this may lead us to believe that we are not understood.

maybe because they feel like your not enough maybe try explaining to they what you mean maybe that way they'll understand you better

Sometimes its hard to understand others because we all have different personalities, backgrounds, beliefs and cultures. Understanding everyone could be tough since we dont really live and lived the same way as others. What we CAN do, is respect others and even if we are different we need to be able to say what we need and express our feelings and needs in a respectful way.

many people can't understand your situation because they are struggling themself with a lot of problems. Try to show empathy for them instead and break the endless cycle. They may be wishing to be understood as hard as you do. What i also experienced is, that some people just aren't able to show a lot of understand and empathy. But either way try to understand them if you want them to understand you!

They don't understand you just in the way that you don't understand them. Find areas of common ground and focus on that.

Because they can't understand what you're going through. They can't get in your mindset. If they choose to not understand, then they are ignorant for not being able and not wanting to understand.
