general Things people just don't understand about you

[Ponyboat 62]

Everyone thinks I don't care when I'm just relaxed. I've been through intense situations and I just don't let little things upset me. I used to teach karate and I remodeled houses in the morning. So after breaking my back I'd go teach classes and do all the exercise with them then take 2 classes for myself. I had 13 hour days of nothing but labor and I was very poor and ate maybe 1000 calories a day at the most. But apparently I wasn't dedicated and I was a "lazy stoner" that didn't care even though I'm the heir to the dojo. I disagreed with their teaching method anyway so I left. I also joke around but sound serious a lot and people hate it.

They don't understand that I like to be alone in my school. And now they all think I'm a lonely person or something .-.

[Cleverclover 1,526]

People don't understand why I like to remain so "clean" in that I don't smoke (neither marijuana nor actual cigarettes), don't do any drugs, and only scarcely drink (I've never been drunk before). 

 

They think that's "weird" for a 25-year-old, particularly when it comes to drinking. 

 

The truth is, I just have a lot of respect for my life, and I don't like to do things that could potentially shorten it.

[SCS 7,537]

Many people I've talked to throughout my life don't understand why I fear what I do fear, and don't fear what I don't fear.

[PROJECT: Simon 3,954]

I'm originally a kind, friendly, and happy person! But if the bad feelings blind my path, I won't become who I am. And when I return to my normal self, I just keep it that way~!               

[DeadAccount 4,604]

Well this is something y'all should know... Or at least know now

 

I am just a person who is easily hurt you know? It isn't hard to make me feel bad or guilty or even make me want to cry I guess I just have a really delicate side

[Not Yellow Diamond 925]

People don't understand why I'm constantly striving to be the best at everything... Very simple answer. I want to be successful. I want to be the best at what I do... even if I lose sleep, social time, and time for athletics. I wish people would quit worrying and know i only work so hard to be the best. So I can be. And i don't ever think, "Being the best." has hurt anyone although people think it's not worth it. 

[Kiri 7,288]

People don't understand:

 

-Why I think Nutella is perfection

-Why automatically grab the spoon instead of the knife to spread things on bread

-That even while on the outside it may look like I have everything together, I often don't and am just too afraid to open up about it

[Lunar Echo 10,335]

I just want to be good friends

[FritzyBeat 26]

a lot of people don't at all understand my feelings toward my music =P People will ask me "what inspired this song Fritzy?" and I'll get all deep and metaphorical talking about these feelings or ideals that I draw my inspiration from when writing lyrics and such, and the emotions that I try to convey through the song~

 

Then they are like "um..... ok"

and then I'm like "Oh right, uhhhhh.... I was inspired by Twilight Sparkle T_T"

"Oh! I get it now! Thanks!"

Others don't really understand that I'm just not comfortable with the idea of talking on the phone as a job.
To be honest I'm barely comfortable enough with it to speak to friends over it.
Sure I don't mind the occasional skype chat or group call, but it's just not something I really enjoy doing every day.
But talking on a telephone as a job?
Stressful. Too stressful. I tried once when I was volunteering and the caller wouldn't take "I'm sorry, I'm just a volunteer and do not know that information. If you'd like, I can take down your name and a number to call back. Once the others are out of the meeting, I'll let them know you called." as and answer and instead they kept trying to push me for the information even though I knew nothing about it.
I didn't even like talking on the phone before that happened.
My grandmother, as well as nearly everyone else I know here, have no idea why I was uncomfortable with phones in the first place. I've been told that I speak clearly and because I'm friendly that I would be great with that type of job. So when I say I'm just not comfortable with that, they don't understand why I wouldn't be.

Things that some people don't understand about me are:

• Why I prefer to be alone sometimes.
• Why I still like Nintendo at my age (13).
• Why I don't want to try new foods.
• Why I will never ever learn how to swim.

[N.W. 3,619]

Just because I like Russia, Russian History, Russian military vehicles doesn't mean I hate the U.S. It also doesn't make me a commie or anything else other than just a guy with a strong interest in those topics. I'm not accused of it often however.

 

To an extent the username change has helped, but it's also led to some thinking I'm a furry. 

I am not a furry nor do I think anything bad of Furries, they are simply another community like Bronies. 

 

I'm a loner but I'm not.

I enjoy being by myself, but I also love talking to friends and such. It's difficult to describe, though I'm sure some can relate. 

[Sharl 53]

MY love for the colors green blue and the shades black and grey/gray.

 

-EDIT

 

I also fall in love with almost anybody i see. 

 

 

 

I would walk outside for a minute, and then i would see somebody ... -Heart Explodes-

"HALP.... HAAAAALP....."

I guess that people probably don't understand why I can be so introverted, quiet and nervous, as well as why I tend to have obsessions with certain things (or my obsessions with fictional characters, especially the ones I come up with myself)

[Steve Piranha 29,424]

There's a good reason I'm quite asocial with my current environment: I feel more comfortable with the american culture rather than the hispanic ghetto from my immigrant parents, and they don't seem to accept it  

[KatonRyu 1,033]

I think people don't understand most things about me, and they don't have to.

 

They don't get why I don't think family bonds mean anything at all.

They don't get why I don't think being alone is a bad thing.

They don't get why I hate Christmas with a vengeance.

They don't get why being social isn't one of my priorities.

 

All of this sounds excessively negative, but it really isn't. I don't hate people, I just don't need to be around them. The only person I like to have around me a lot is my girlfriend.

 

As for Christmas...well, I hate the fake cheerfulness, and I hate the presents. See, I don't want to be forced to buy people stupid stuff, and I don't need anything from them in return. "But it's fun," they say. No it isn't, now go away so I can enjoy my day off from work by hanging on the couch or playing some games.

[LunaDream 331]

People don't understand my sense of humor. I'm very sarcastic, and everyone thinks I'm rude. 

[Vulcan 3,254]

 

 

I make an effort to hide from toddlers before it's too late...Lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 OT:

 

I dunno, I'm a pretty weird guy, there are way too many things to count.

[Envy 6,162]

They apparently don't understand my love for wind instruments and talking about their history, because each and every person that (the history) gets brought up with stops talking to me. Like right then and there it stops. T.T

 

(And I'm mainly talking about people that started these conversations, love/play wind instruments themselves, to make matters worse)

[ThePoniMan 164]

 

 

I, personally, wish they'd have an open mind and understand that because I'm a brony that I'm not a neckbearded gay loser.

 

^Exactly. I'm waiting for the day I graduate a good college and get a good job doing what I love, then I can laugh at all the people who call Bronies unsuccessful losers with no lives   

As for things people don't understand about me? Well first of all, the Brony thing. No one I know in person likes My Little Pony like I do, and I kinda feel isolated in that sense when I tell my friends about it. People also do not understand my phobia of needles. It's given the specific term "phobia" for a reason! It's more than just a little fear.

[Anneal 2,197]

I feel like people don't really understand why I try to be positive all the time; being positive doesn't mean being ignorant. I know some places and people are bad but it doesn't kill to be hopeful and a bit happy.

 

Other than that I think people should thinkless about "why does no one understand me?" and return with "do you try to understand others?" I have Aspergers and that's the big thing; you can't pretend that the world revolves around you because it doesn't. If you want people to understand you sometimes you have to be the change and understand others first.

Every time I speak to be nice or try to help someone, I usually get to hear how "sassy that sounded" and they get mad at me. I often get misunderstood!! I mean well but people take it the wrong way. I need to structure my sentences better I guess.

[Thermonuclear Kitten 70]

No one realizes that I have a really dark side.

[DND 2,355]

I have always lived in the type of environment that minconstrues and belittles me for my liberalistic views. My family has always been a literal brick wall in my life; each impass of opinions only furthers the hostility. It's not just my family, the same could be said for the majority of people I've been aquainted with.

 

When I generally formulate individual ideas they're conveyed in seemingly abstract ways that really differ from other people I know. Not to say I'm going about it wrong or I'm dismissing certain aspects that make up culture-- the thing is I don't usually recieve the kind of patience that would be willing to hear me explain things through in different ways... the wall presents itself one way or another.
