Love this and relate completely. I feel so chronically misunderstood. And am only just starting to realize that it doesn’t matter.

As someone who has always wished I could clone myself just to have a close companion who fully understood me, I truly appreciate your reframing of being misunderstood- it is an energy to alchemise, to play with, to immerse myself in rather than the curse I've so often felt it to be <3

Thank you for this! I needed to read it, I've always felt misunderstood and it really hurt for some time that people didn't seem to care to learn but I recognized by reading this that they were doing me a favor. The only person who truly has to understand me is myself.

I have been misunderstood my entire life, mostly be my own family. I kept trying to justify who I was to them, only for it to usually feel like talking to a wall. in this new phase of my life as I am rebuilding, I allowed myself to be misunderstood. it is probably the only way I was able to stay sane. love this article!
