  2. And it’s like when my parents just don’t get that I have other stuff to do; I need time for my friends too ..not just their dinner parties every other night. And then the teachers dont seem to realize what goes on in our lives outside of what they see in school. I feel so out of place and like no one understands; my facade is just too…cliche.

  3. It’s easy to be completely off the wall sometimes, but being misunderstood is almost something completely different. My mother is deaf. She hears us, but sometimes she doesn’t hear the right thing and it gets all sticky because she gets mad. I can understand that but it’s frustrating sometimes when she’s not completely with us. I hate it when someone gets mad because they didn’t understand something. I didn’t think it was that hard..

  4. a lot of the times people get misunderstood not only by what they say but facial expresions as well. many people say things yet implicitly mean something else. such ocnfusions and misunderstanding can lead to people arguing and not getting a long

  5. Please don’t let me be misunderstood. Sweetheart, i just want you to understand me, and yourself. You gotta shape up… ’cause i set my eyes on you.

  6. I feel so misunderstood. There is no time left in this race. I can fell my legs giving out, and my lungs burn with the knowledge of exhaustion. I cant hear the crowd anymore, they died long ago. All I hear is my rapid and staggered breathing. All I hear is you.

  7. This whole situation. All I ever was…and all I’ll ever be. Nobody’s out there. Nobody’s listening. Smothering me and I can barely cry out. Hello love? Is that you? Nope. Just a face in the ugly crowd, another contender in line to break my heart.

  8. All those who passed the kennel looked pitifully at the little dog. Its misshapen face and mangy fur. They passed it without a second glance, moving on to the much cuter animals in the next cage over. The little, ignored puppy sadly dipped its head and retreated back into the corner of its cage.

  9. i used to feelmisunderstood, i felt that no matter how i tried to sulk in the shadows, i was constantly stalked by the limelight.

    it wasn’t until many years later that i came to realize that i reveled in the uniqueness the the black sheep label had bestowed upon me. at one time, i had wished that everyone rode harley motorcycles. and now that everyone does, i miss the days of standing out in a crowd and being “misunderstood”.

    i’ve also come to realize that to recover from being misunderstood requires not an increase in volume, but raised awareness of those who misunderstand. mis understanding is not a lack of commmunication, but rather, a lack of consensual thought.

  10. In the current position of lunar expectation, we, as humans can be tripled in size, divulged, and often misunderstood. It is okay to sit low to the ground. It the tall ventures that can get into bit of scoundry.

  11. I think everyone is misunderstood somehow. If anyone was entirely understood, and I mean everything, the how and why they do things? We’d get bored. Simply bored. Say you’re not misunderstood, I dare you.

  12. “you don’t know me!” they cry out, their one defense for why the world is so scary. their one excuse for not letting you in. teenagers claim to be so misunderstood. but in reality, they don’t know themselves.

  13. something we all feel from time to time and something we deliberately practice on those who annoy us…

  14. I felt misunderstood because I come from a place that no one has ever been to. That place is my life. My one, unique life. A life that no one has ever experienced except for me. All of the good and the bad and the boring. No one else has felt exactly what I felt, even if they say “I understand.” I don’t care anymore if I am misunderstood because I know who I am and where I come from. To be misunderstood is the norm for all of us. It’s a miracle that any of us can understand what another person has felt. Each of us is misunderstood, and I have come to the conclusion that this is the natural way of life. I do not worry about being misunderstood. And the next time I am misunderstood, I will remember that only I know what I mean.

  15. …what went wrong? How can I expect anyone to understand it when I can hardly make sense of it myself?

    Am I to blame? Am I the one with the problem? Could I be so out of touch with myself to think that it is always someone else’s fault?

  16. misundersood what… did i say something wrong? Is it because I spell colour with a “u” see it’s underlining colour telling me it’s spelled wrong. My computer is misunderstanding me… or lieing to me.

  18. i think i misunderstood you for the last year of our relationship.

    i really, honestly, hope she makes you happy.

    (but… i would be lying if i said i didn’t ever think about the “maybe’s”, the “what-if’s.”)

  19. to be misunderstood is for someone to not understand….those who don’t understand don’t take the time to care…those who don’t care don’t take the time to express themselves to be understood.

  20. It happens to many of us. Some more than others. You may say something, but they take it the wrong way, leaving you wondering, if they actually understood what you said.

  21. barriers go up
    comprehension crumbles
    judgement takes precedence over tolerance
    love is lost,
    distorted
    fun-house mirrors
    misunderstanding
    seems to be misunderstood.

  22. Sometimes I feel misunderstood. They take me for that girl whose smart and nerdy, who doesnt have any interest in boys because she’s never dated anyone. Well I’ve had it. I don’t feel smart just because I can cough up stuff on a test. And I do like guys, but they cause so many problems for me that I have been learning to do without.

  23. I can’t believe I would get misunderstood. It’s not that many people misunderstand me, it’s that they understand quite well that I am apathetic to the matter. This little “word” game is actually a pretty nift idea. Gets people thinking quickly and allows them to type randomly. I’ve misunderstood the point of this… apparently…

  24. theres is nothing to say that comes out write theres cant be any place for me to go because wherever i ventrure my ideas and reasons will still seem wrong and stupid even though they seem logical and optimal to me. what else can i do? change for you and abandon myself?

  25. everything is misunderstood, the nice things you say, the poor people.
    Communication is impossible, ‘cos every word has a different meaning to every person.
    Please don’t mock something you don’t understand, it may very well be working on another plane.

  26. The fruit in the dish sits so misunderstood. Nobody thinks it should be eaten, because it is there for show. But the fruit wants desperately to be enjoyed by some hungry being.

  27. no. and the worry grew on my skin like barnacles to the side of an ancient maritime anchor. eyes wide and shaped with circular horror that met in the middle and looped around endlessly – an eternal wreath of that fleeting panic that edged across my vision, a veil of black spotted with color. no. all a misunderstanding

  28. i don’t understand. they don’t either. they don’t know who i am. i don’t know what i just read. i don’t know what i wrote. i thought real hard. i read real close. i read real. i really read. out loud. they didn’t hear. they didn’t understand. my gum fumbled on my tongue. my eyes reached the top.

  29. Sometimes I think I’m misunderstood, because I use to be a party girl. There is more to me than throwing backs drink when I was 22 on the weekends. It’s like that old saying don’t judge a book by it’s cover.

  30. i’ve been misunderstood for so long.
    left to cope with everything on my own.
    throw everything upon me.
    Weigh me down with everything you feel.
    ‘Cause I’ve got nothing of my own.
    I thought being alone was better.

  31. Many people are misunderstood nowadays for reasons unknown. That’s why the thing thats important in this world right now is not to learn to speak the billion languages available at your disposal but rather effective ways of communicating your ideas and such.

    Toro
  32. Sometimes I feel misunderstood. Its like the world chooses to neglect my intent to defend its emotions. But I’m also sure there are times that I’m misunderstood and completely unaware of it.

    megan
  33. misunderstanging is not understanding yourself; you need to pause for a moment and try and converge.

    lunette
  34. we are all misunderstoods, life causes, love causes, death causes, all without answers, dying a little every day

  35. There was just so many gaps between us. I tried hard to give in but it was tough, really tough. Why were our intentions both misunderstood?

    sab
  36. SO misunderstood. I heard that Wilco song and it resonated with me. I felt that way for much of my life. Still do, really. And I misunderstand people all the time. I think I have it figured out and then I get thrown a curveball. But it’s great when you’re around people who do understand. A rarity. Thank you all for nothing at all. It’s a big shout to my high school experience. Nothing

  37. i. am. misunderstood. judged. no confidence. afraid yet confident. confused.

    yet, okay. misunderstand me all you want.

  38. Teenagers often complain about being misunderstood by their parents, but this is not often the case, it is the parents who are misunderstood by their children. Teenagers are arrogant and think they know everything, therefore their parents must know nothing. It is the teenagers who do the worst damage in their arrogance.

  39. I prefer not to be understood, it may be more challenging to live with, but gives me a greater sense of self. That i am me and no one has to understand that. Why do poeple strive so hard to escape the curse of being misunderstood? No, it is not the confusion that may be aquired with it, it is the labeling, our own mind’s fram that strives to understand everyone, that steals the voice and purpose of the misunderstood.

  40. Who is misunderstood amoung us? It is the most wise, the most strange, the most intellegent, or are they the more enjoyable? What is it that makes people misunderstood? Its that essence that makes the world changing.
