general Things people just don't understand about you

[kageyuki 59]

people don't understand

 

that I'm really scares of balloons/loud sounds and that I have try to over come it but it didn't work

 

that I don't want to date or kiss anyone

 

and that I love clowns & don't care about horror movies 

[GenderIsAnIllusion 2,177]

That I am a sentient bowl of delicious soup, that never goes bad and has advanced opinions about society and politics.

 

That I am so very accepting. Unfortunately I do live in a place where discrimination based on the most absurd things is the sociatic norm, and not conforming to society is highly frowned upon. People in my area do not understand why I don't hate certain groups, or why I don't have negative opinions of people who go against gender roles..... its very sad.

[EverEverOn 346]

The fact that I love being alone sometimes, and then sometimes I'll beg for attention.

I also tend to avoid certain topics that create arguments, such as politics. Some of my friends even try to lure me into these arguments. I just like avoiding negative things.

[AtomicStone 724]

None of my family have ever understood that I struggle socially and that I tend to be awkward sometimes with people. They always seem to criticize me for it and put it down to me "Not making enough of an effort"

I don't get why they can't just take me for what I am and try to turn things back on me.

They have caught on to the fact that I just want to be alone sometimes too.. And try to intrude when I just need some time to myself.

[Catpone Cerberus 23,604]

This is my fault and not anyone else's, but I wish people could magically understand that just because I don't message back right away I'm not ignoring or upset with them. I'm just either a) having a panic attack or b ) unhappily busy

[Nila Bean 133]

That I don't want a boyfriend, or have any sort of interest in the opposite gender at all. Almost everyone at my school is in a relationship or looking for one, and I always get asked if I have/want a boyfriend. Nope, not at all. The boys at my school are all just ignorant, stupid, thug wannabes that think they're gods or something and walk around thinking everyone should "respect" them. 

 

They all make me want to set my hair on fire sometimes, I could never deal with that....I would go crazy.

[KikiTwilight 90]

Ah, many things fill in this category in my case, I guess -.- . I'll forever be on misunderstood side. Part of me gets it, even I have trouble understanding some aspects of my behavior and personality, but still...

 

These are some of the things I can think of now.

• How I can be extreme introvert and still be talkative and loud, at some points even sociable. Really, I can talk for quite a lot if the issue interests me, and I laugh with others and everything. But, I need to see meaning in that. If I don't... I'll explain it more in the second point. The thing is, I like to be around people often, but not all the time. And it's only for people I care about, or I find interesting for some reason, so they make me curious. And I definitely refill my batteries by alone time. There's nothing better than being all alone and being freeee! With books. And music. And everything. And huge parties are the most awful things in the world.
• No one gets why I hate small talk that much. No, that doesn't mean I don't want to talk to you. That just mean I can see no point in it. If you want to get vulnerable with me, have an honest chat, debate about important issues, talk about something in particular... I'm always willing to listen, and talk! But chatting just for the sake of chatting... Unless you are my very close friend - nope. Even in that case, it can feel awkward sometimes. And downright pointless.
• That I am highly sensitive and need a different approach than others do. I need to be treated gently. And I take it really hard when I'm scolded - especially in public, and by people I care about. I cry easily as well, and take the suffering of others much worse than people usually do. And yes, I'm jumpy, and overreact to loud noises and other "insignificant" situations.
• How I'm not sure if I'm asexual or bisexual. In fact, I think I'm bisexual, but I'm still not sure. People usually say that I can't be indecisive between these two opposites, but I really am. The things is - I know that I feel the same way about both genders. And I'm attracted to them the same way. I'm just not sure weather it evolves physical attraction or just platonic one. All I know is that I could never be with someone I'm not deeply in love with.
• Why I'm a vegetarian. Really, people, I don't attack your ethical standards. Don't go attacking mine, it's something that's really important to me.
• Why I relate to fictional characters that easily, both heroes and villains. And also why I always have that tendency to "defend" most of the characters. I guess I always like to seek good in all of them and feel awful if someone else doesn't see what I do.
• Why I'm so "rude" when meeting people. Really, I just don't want to be touched and kissed or even talked way too much to by complete strangers, especially if they are some sort of relatives or other people I'll probably meet like two more times in life. Respect the fact that not all of us are social butterflies.
• Why am I so passionate about all the things I care about. Including psychology, dogs, fandoms...
• Why I was different. Always.
• That I don't "brag", even when I talk about my accomplishments. Sometimes it sounds like it, but I'm actually really humble. Too much, in fact, and some people even say I don't give myself enough credit.
• That's why I need constant positive feedback from my teachers, friends etc. about everything good I do, because I have problem seeing anything good in myself alone.
• How I can be so hyper, and still pessimistic and prone to depressive thoughts.

Etc, etc.

Well I dunno. I get stares a lot because I don't stare at them back or people watch. I'd say they have the wrong ideas about me. Which causes conflict world-wide.

[Phanact 333]

I wish that I was able to find someone who was interested in me as a person, not as a sexual object.

 

In the ''gay'' community, everyone wants you just for sex, from my experience. I've used dating sites, and other apps or whatever to potentially meet other gay people and 99% of the time, after a "hi" they say A S L or whatever, and its just like... I'm looking for a relationship not sex.

 

No one seems to understand that. Why is it so hard to be dating a guy just for their personality and not so much for them as a sexual object? 

 

I guess that's my biggest thing that people don't understand

To be fair, I hear that's common with the apps/sites in question. If you want an actual relationship, gay OR straight, you generally have to do it the old fashioned way, in my experience, meaning that you have to meet someone, become friends, and let it evolve. Dating sites and apps seem to be predominantly for hookups or other nonsense that ain't nobody got time for.

 

---

 

On topic, people never understand that I'm not angry and rude, but rather blunt and honest.

 

People don't understand the way my mind works; they don't understand that I don't function the way other people do and that I don't understand them. They often mistake my confusion for disapproval or anger or something else that it isn't, and I'm often left wondering what happened.

 

People also don't understand why I hate politics.

 

They don't understand that interacting with people is very difficult for me and that I do my best every single time, but that I just am not good at it.

 

People don't understand what it's like to be very poor and they think I exaggerate what little I tell them or that I'm lazy. They don't understand that hardworking people can be in this horrible situation because they all come from a different world.

 

There's more, but that's enough for now.

[Lightning Dash 327]

In life they're many things that are either misunderstood or incapable of understanding yet people still think they know sometimes

Yeah, tell me about it. It's hard enough being a Brony, but pile it with being a "Parallel-Otherkin" and then it makes things even more complex and awkward. I mean, Otherkin individuals are hard enough for non-kin's to understand, but then you've got me which I class myself as a "Parallel-Otherkin", which basically means I'm similar in parts of the Otherkin concept, but very different at the same time; Totally ain't easy to explain myself.

 

I even get trouble in the Brony Community about this too which makes it a pain in the a..... flank. There's me saying "I'm 100% Lightning Dash the NON-Equestrian Pegasus Pony; As you see me in my avatar, and no matter what image you see of me, I'm still the same", and for many Bronies and my own best friends, it's been a struggle to explain it.

 

I don't usually like to mention it for reasons, but sometimes I get called an OC or Ponysona, and then that triggers me to talk about myself as you'd expect if you knew this about me well enough. I also don't like to talk about myself (Lightning Dash) in a 3rd person perspective either as you'd expect.

 

Another problem I have with this is others may think I'm insane or delusional or something like that, when I'm not It's a very deep complex and serious thing, and it's not an internet thing either. It's also annoying that I've been like this for as long as I can remember, and so it's something my friends are either going to have to accept, or we're not exactly going to be good friends if they don't.

 

PS. I'm planning to write an entire blog series about myself to finally kill the confusion and misunderstanding, so if any of you somehow have any questions about me, save it for now as it'll all be explained in the blog series.

[gamecubeguy214 2,512]

People don't understand what it is with my obsession with PAC-MAN. Well, the truth is, I'm not really a huge fan of the original game. I love it, it's a great game to play when you have a few minutes to leave for school or work, but I'm into the PAC-MAN games that have a story, like PAC-MAN World and PAC-MAN and the Ghostly Adventures. (I like the show too), and the thing that sparked my interest was Super Smash Bros. Seeing PAC-MAN's reveal trailer hyped me up like crazy, even though I didn't care much about Smash at the time.

[Jaxsie (Inactive) 1,343]

I'm spiritual, but I'm not religious. Yes, the Bible is my foundation, but I don't prescribe to any religion. I simply follow truth and I find there are pieces of truth in everything -- so my beliefs about life can't be labeled or easily defined. As a result, the way I see the world is quite...different. I guess this tends to confuse people, because naturally, people like to label for neat categorization. But, everyday I'm learning to transcend labels.

[Kimi Vulpine 219]

People don't understand that I just like to be at home and I don't care about what's popular on media. If you aren't a social butterfly or the popular masses you WILL get weird looks here.

[Midnight Seashell 206]

I like watching cartoons and animated movies and for some reason people keep telling me that I should "grow up" and start calling me baby as if I'm not allowed to do my own thing,like seriously?

[powerpuff-tsubasa 448]

i always cuddle dolls around and no one can stop me from cuddling them

[Discordly Cutiepie 2,065]

People don't get that I don't like going out and being social. I have had do many people be like "go out have fun stop playing games all your life make some friends go to a club" and I get angry at that because I have extremely bad anxiety and I just don't find clubs bats pubs and things f n like at all

 

People also don't understand that I suck at specifically one part of English punctuation I can't do it I forget how to when to what half of it does I just can't do it

 

I also have when people are like all you do is use your pc and they think all I'm doing is playing games I'm like no I listen to music draw read the news watch YouTube write things I do t just play games

 

Last thing people don't understand is I need diapers they think I'm strange and weird I can't help it yes it's strange but it's not a choice

[Frostgage 7,975]

Because I'm quiet I tend to come across as unfriendly which I like to think is false. Of course i don't really blame people for coming to that conclusion.

People don't always understand my lack of sexual attraction and claim that I "just have to do it at some point" even though I really don't need to if I don't want to. Pretty much the same goes for physical contact - whenever I tell people that I don't like to be touched, there is probably at least one person who then starts to poke or otherwise touch me because "it's a joke". That kind of behavior just makes me dislike touching altogether.

 

 

Because I'm quiet I tend to come across as unfriendly which I like to think is false.

 

To be honest I have had many similar experiences. I'm not good at being social or talking so I often just listen to others' socializing with a neutral expression on my face. Sometimes it probably comes off as uninterested even though I'm just scared of talking. Not to mention I dislike hearing my own voice.

[Kiri 7,289]

I tend to be on the shy side when around new people, which can sometimes lead them to believe that I'm bored and uninterested. Once I get to know someone better, though, I'm pretty goofy around them, and they wonder if I'm the same person. XD

[Nerdy Luigi 2,065]

I don't believe people understand much about me at all. In fact, I feel like others understand me as well as they understand my gender. Not at all.

 

Nobody seems to understand, for example, that I don't only play video games and watch MLP all day long. Though I do game probably more than I should, and I'm on YouTube for far too long watching SFMs and theorization videos and stuff... x.x They got the fact I'm a complete nerd spot on...

 

Also, few in real life seem not to view me as aloof. Not entirely wrong, I am a fairly distant person, though I really am not cold-hearted and unfriendly once you get to know me. Or at least I would say so, even though I'm still distant even at that point. They also don't really understand the fact I've ben trying to fix my handwriting for years, and I can't get it good enough. It still looks really bad. Not because I don't attempt to improve it though. In fact, I've improved it a good bit over the years.

 

As well, people seem to not understand me. They don't understand who I am as an actual person. Makes sense why it would be difficult to understand because I'm probably about as complicated as Rarity, if not easily moreso. My characterization isn't just round, it's almost spherical. My personality is not unilateral at all.

 

Finally, they don't seem to understand that I'm not a threat. Just because I'm generally fairly edgy doesn't mean I'm going to explode and kill everyone I've ever met. I'm not even really violent, though I do have a side that I suppress that is certainly not good... Though nobody would understand what I'm actually trying to say there, probably not even the most understanding people I've ever known could understand what I mean by that.

 

Though I bet they also don't understand why I'm not interested in more masculine things. I'm not masculine.

Saaaaame. I've always been one of the quietest people one could meet who isn't actually mute, since I had bad social anxiety for a long time. I'm working through that now and things have gotten better but I am still really quiet. I guess that has just been ingrained in my personality. My own mother still thinks I come off as uninterested or unfriendly when I'm quiet, though. Very frustrating sometimes.

[Shattered Ice 30]

One thing is that people find me overly serious. I am just treating everything seriously because it needs to be.

 

Secondly, the other people always say that I'm too silent. In my response, you talk too much. 

 

Lastly, I'm a huge bookworm. If I'm reading, please leave me alone, unless it is something important (like, life-endangering.) Otherwise, please don't include me in the consversation.

[Techno Universal 2,575]

Well one thing that is too complicated for almost anyone to understand is that my thinking system has developed into a computerised interface. It actually allows me to identify my own functions in my thinking and that really is incredible especially when I know how to make changes to faulty sections of my personality! But still it's so complicated that probably only a brain scientist would understand.
