I want people to understand me the way I understand them

But do you think it's possible? Since we have different likes and dislikes and satisfaction level, I don't think that we appear pleasant to every person surrounding us. It hurts when people did not understand you even if you do not do something wrong for them and just because of your differences.

Every action has it's reaction. If we are good to others and if we understand others,surely the others will understand us according to newtons third law. But this law will not be successful always. So adjusting others who are having different likes and dislikes is the best way to live a happy life.

Yeah we should adjust but I think that need to teach lesson as well sometimes when they hit the borderline so that they will be reminded that some of their actions or reactions are no longer in acceptable manner.

if we go smoothly with them,surely they will realise and understand them. If they dont understand,it is better to leave their friendship rather than arguing with them. Some people are born with the attitude of not understanding others and there is no point in maintaining a good friendship with them.

I guess only those who is exactly doing the same thing as what we do can understand us very well. People have different takes on every thing and we should accept the fact that not everyone can understand what we want and what we do. It only depends on how we handle other people's judgment, if they did judge you.

Really those judgmental one are difficult to handle but we need to let it go because it's their way of handling things and people as well.

If you want other people to understnad you like the way you understand them, then you need to tell them how to understand you like the way you get to understand them, without you showing the way for them to understand you, they will have difficulty to understand you like the way you can understand them. It may not be so simply for them to understand you like the simple way you can understand them, many people may not be so understanding and clever in nature compare to your ability be able to understand human behavior better than the rest of these people.

Just be who you are that's all. Being true to yourself and to your friends and to all the people around you is the best way to be yourself. Not everyone will understand us, and not everyone will agree with us either. So, why waste time forcing everyone to understand us if they cannot understand the way we are. Just be yourself...that's all :)

I do agree with you. It's not possible for us to satisfy each and every one. Before I used to think that why people are like this?? But now started thinking that each and everyone is unique in this world. So no one behave alike. We have to accept the positives as well negatives.

Yeah! The negatives of them even if it hurts to you.

I am like this life is what it is and God never made us all alike so we understand things differently from others. So my advice to you is that if you feel someone doesn't understand you than try explaining yourself.

I agree, unfortunately people have tendencies to think negatively of others. They feel better or superior. It is also a matter of self esteem. Hence it is even more difficult to ask for understanding from some people.

I don't think it's possible because we r living in an imperfect world.
