Noone will ever understand the depths of me-- I feel so alone.

[Robert Jan]

But if you're being serious-
Why do you need someone to understand?
Does their understanding make you any less or more?
Do you need other people knowing the true you to "validate" you?
If nobody understands you, maybe it's a good thing. It means you're more complex than they will ever know, you're not some simple person that can be understood then passed and forgotten. If you can go through life and remain beyond people's grasps, then you were better. You've won

Do U ever feel that way?

Yep. It's okay though. I really don't want people to understand anyways.

We're here for you bro.

It's part of being a man. Don't need friends, don't need people to make a spiritual connection with me. People are judgemental anyway. You're better off being your own harshest critic. Whatever you don't like about yourself you could change.

People could kiss my ass if they don't understand me. At the end of the day, I have to be satisfied with the person I am.

Try to focus on enjoying yourself and what makes you happy instead. If not, then you start thinking about all that deep stuff

Sometimes I get bummed out and feel lonely and then realize that I tend to put myself in that situation because I don't want to open up to others. And how are my loved ones supposed to know I need their support when I'm keeping to myself? I suppose it's just hard to really open up and trust people when it comes to very personal choices/dilemas. I've been burned many times in the past and choose to protect myself by isolating myself.

I totally understand how you feel...

Funny thing is, when I do try to reach out I get disappointed again and again.

Even now, the people that I do reach out to isn't really for support. It is more just a means of having a record so that if the worst happens no one can ever say that no one else didnt see it coming.

If I get support as well, then I appreciate it immensely. If I do not I don't take it personally.

It is funny how so many perceive us as being so open, yet we are really NOT.

it will be a sad day when i completely understand myself, or somebody else completely understands me.

if you understood yourself, you wouldnt be feeling all 'empty' and 'alone'.
