So much of the time I feel this way in my so-called UNFULFILLING relationships which is one big reason why I prefer to be alone. If I am expected to understand other peoples pressures yet they don't truly take the time to understand me wouldn't you feel as though the relationship, whether that be work, family, friends, spouses, etc., was a one way street?
Other than my husband I have 1 good friend who listens to my concerns.. I make sure I take the time for her also..That's all I need... Work associates are just that "associates", I prefer they stay out of my personal life..
I would say for the most part, I have felt misunderstood pretty much my whole life to the point where I am having to explain myself over and over, yet still not being understood. Some would encourage me to go to a therapist but frankly I see it more about people who have very poor listening skills. They call it HOH in medical documentation...........hard of hearing.
I think our culture suffers from that terribly.
I suggest you find a caregivers support group.
