Examples Of Being Misunderstood

Being understood is not the same as being listened to. Most of the time people don't fully listen to you anyway. I've tried numerous times to explain how I feel, but each and every time I gather up the strength to express myself I get interrupted by another inaccurate remark about what people swore they heard come out of my mouth, rather than what actually was spoken. Being misunderstood is such a pain. You tell them your fine and then the next second they're on the phone with what is soon to be your new therapist. What part of fine do they not understand? I have to admit, I do have my ups and downs, but every once in a while I come across a smooth slate of concrete to drive over.
