"No one understands..."

We've probably all been there at some point in our life, where we feel like no one could possibly understand what's going on in our lives. In fact, a couple of my friends recently confided in me about things going on in their lives.

It's funny - a lot of people think that no one could possibly understand what they're going through. Hence, they keep everything to themselves and sometimes get buried in those emotions and feelings... Would it not stand to reason that if everyone feels like no one could understand, there is someone out there who could understand? But since no one is talking about it, we end up wandering about feeling like we're the only people in those situations? That could quite possibly be the reason why some people do feel lonely.

There are things that I feel that no one could understand, but I know in my heart that while there are a lot of people who cannot relate, there are those who can. Admittedly, sometimes it feels great to vent to someone who will listen with an open heart, whether he/she can or can't understand.

Moral: Give people a chance to understand if you want to be understood. (On the flip side, if you know they have no compassion or are too daft to understand...)
