I do feel like I'm on a different page sometimes. I think it's normal we feel this way sometimes. Try to remember your not alone and there's always the ones that do "get" you.

That is not an unusual feeling for me. But it's a type of vanity and once I become aware of what I am doing, someone pops up who knows exactly who I am. It sure takes the wind out of your sails. We are all really the same and true we each come in a different cover, the book reads the same. Blessings

Yup. Just about everday. I think most of us are in that boat. The question is, though, how many people actually "get" their own self?

People don't need to get me. Just as long as they can listen to me and I can understand them, that's what I need.

Yes, there are times, when I feel that some people don't 'get' me. But it does happen often. there are very few occasions when this happens.

Sometimes, but usually only when I'm majorly sleep deprived or heavily intoxicated.

yes sometimes I really do feel like that. It is awful when we feel that way, so I write about it, in my articles or in the poems that I have written.

I think most of us can feel that at times. My reaction is not to let it drop until the other person says to me, "I get you".. Then I know that I have made myself understood. Sometimes, especially with emotional things, as human-beings, it is important that we get acknowledged that we are having difficulty. It is not important that the other person gives us advice, but just that they have listened and we can then begin to move on and find a solution or let it go, if there is nothing that can be done about it. .

Yes. I am a unique person and pretty out spoken about certain things. My daughter doesn't GET IT or ME. It is a hard sell. I guess men don't either. Or very few. A lady had to keep some mystique or all is lost.

Narrowly speaking, on mylot site, my discussion often stay there without responses for a long time. I take it with a plain heart, as it is very natural, both for me and for others as well. On a broad sense, some people are always the center of a group, they have outstanding power of influence. That is accumulated by dozens of personality traits, we need to develop consciously from childhood. It is never too late to learn. There are so many books of self help improvement. They are no less important then the majors we are taking in college. Keep working and enjoy your career.
