Have you ever felt that 99% of the people you know just don't

[SeattleGirl]

understand you?

[Deja Q]

1. 100% - even people who know me don't understand me.

:D

[SeattleGirl]

2. I hear ya.

I only say 99% because there is one person in my life who really DOES understand me.

Other than that......:shrug:

[coyotespaw]

9. So even you don't understand you?

[SeattleGirl]

11. Oh hells no.

But I'm working on it. :)

[RandomThoughts]

3. yup, I just keep moving forward with a laugh.

Well I figure if they don't get it, I could be wrong, so I don't worry about it.

Plus 99% of what a person thinks about another person, is usually created in their own mind.

Take conversation, built on thoughts of the moment, without knowing the backdrop of why the person is thinking it, put it through an interpretation of who you think the person is, what you think they are thinking, and why.

Add your own beliefs and thoughts, mixed with protective emotions or thoughts.

And

we only hear 10% of what someone else says.

Luckily we all think for ourselves, and do not depend on what others say, or the world would be a very complicated place.

4. So true.

So very true

[Breeze54]

5. No... 100%; since I was a little kid.

:grr:

[SeattleGirl]

6. I was at 100% until a few years ago

I think it's the scourge of those among us who actually try to think about things.

And who also think outside the box.

It's how I've always been.

Unfortunately, most of the people I know DON'T think that way.

7. Number of people who actually understand me?

Maybe three. Excepting my mum and brother.

[SeattleGirl]

8. You're lucky, billy.

The other person in my life who really understood me was me mum, and she passed away in February.

But at least there is still one who does.

[billyskank]

10. I guess I am.

:hug:

[SeattleGirl]

12. Yes, you are.

:hug: back atcha.

[BreweryYardRat]

13. Ooh yeah.

One of the main reasons I want to get the hell out of here.

[machI]

14. That is understandable, I am still searching for myself

[RFKHumphreyObama]

15. Oh yes, definitely

All the time
