Why doesn't who understand you? People will never understand you unless you let them in, we're all unique people and no one will ever fully understand us. People can care, people can try, but until you let them in and give people a chance they will never be able to understand you. Being open to people is the first step to people being open to you.

Sometimes the people you're talking to haven't been through what you're going through, so it might be hard for them to put themselves in your shoes. You have to be understanding of them and try to explain yourself better and tell them why you feel a certain way or why you do what you do.

Everyone has a different story and some people just don't understand others because some are not as open minded as other.

Its hard to be understood by people, and to understand people. As long as you understand yourself and the reasoning behind any feelings or disturbances you have in your life - that's the main thing.

People don't understand each other because they are either not wiling to communicate with other people or the people that they are trying to connect to are not willing to be open. In order to understand each other, both parties must be willing to share information and feelings and be accepting to it. If neither of the parties- or one- wish to,try to understand each other, then one won't be able to understand the other.

Being understood is based on the clarification of your expressions but it really depends on who you're trying to get the point across to, everybody reacts differently and comprehends things differently. So, I would just be wise about who you talk to about certain subjects/situations. If you don't have a choice, then try to understand how 'they' view things and speak to them their way, so they fully understand. If they're not being reasonable then be more assertive and if that doesn't work. Cut your losses and stop wasting your breath, find somebody who's easier to talk to, don't go to war with the person, just walk away and choose a different path.

Everyone is an enormous bundle of subjective experiences and preferences, and different upcomings, and different surroundings, and basically totally different lives. It is easy to forget this fact sometimes, and you putting yourself in somebody elses shoes might not actually be what the other person is really thinking. Other people might not understand you because they might not think the same in a similar situation, and might not even truly understand the situation at all. Truly understanding someone is very difficult.

They don't understand you because everyone is different. Childhood is a very fundamental stage in one's life that can effect how someone perceives things. In example, someone who was abused by their parents/siblings may seem more silent and reclusive compared to another person who had constant support/guidance from their parents/siblings.

For me, I think they won't understand you that much if they are not that open-minded about things or they didn't experience it yet. I've tried talking to people about my problem and I also wonder why they cannot. I think because they can't understand what's standing in my place and what it feels.

Nobody is the same. As hard as it is to hear, nobody truly 100% relates to you. That does not mean that there isn't hope. even if they don't 100% understand, there are still a lot of things that somebody may understand that is happening to you that they can help you overcome. Each and every situation is unique, you are the only one who truly understands how hard it is for yourself to cope. But overall, there is still hope for each and everybody in this world.
