I Need People to Talk to Who Understand How I Feel

Most People Don'T Seem Very Empathetic

People can logically comprehend my experiences. But they can't personally relate, and when they don't personally relate, they don't truly understand. Sometimes I feel like I have stereotypes fighting against me before I even open my mouth. I wish that people would be more willing to listen and take in new information. It'd be much easier to be vulnerable if everything I said weren't filtered through skepticism first.

    No one will ever really understand or know how you feel nor should you expect them to unless they have had the same exact experience as you...that is just the way it is. And when someone has something unsupportive to say about what or how you feel then you let them know that you don't expect them to feel the same as you but you do expect them to show respect and have consideration for your feelings.
