Besides my family (i.e. parents and my sister), no one really understands me. I attribute the problem to many factors:

1) I am pretty much a loner. Other than my co-workers and a few acquaintences, no one knows who I am. lol

2) My measured IQ. I am exactly halfway - so, I seem to be too smart for the normal people out there; yet, I'm too stupid to hang out with geniuses (i.e. ones with an IQ of 140 and up).

3) My AS. People think in general that I'm strange, and my mannerisms are eccentric as well; however, my morals and kindness sometimes wins them over (when they realize that I'm a "nice" guy).

I'm certain that there are other considerable factors and variables that I have omitted due to stupidity, but these are the major ones. I hope that I haven't bored you with this lengthy reply. Thank you for reading it. :-)

I think I finally found someone who understands me after waiting for 52 years! It's a very weird experience to be understood after spending your whole life being misunderstood.

I mean, what is understanding? How would you define it? Humans tend to change over the years anyway as they learn new things, so surely the understanding would have to transcend that?


But to answer the question, no-one in my family understands me as I am at this time.
One person understands me on a spiritual level.
And one understands me...maybe.. on an emotional and mental level.
Besides that... no. :)


I am not sure how much more understanding from others anyone has. Understanding oneself seems to have a different set of obstacles. At the moment there seem to be to many contradictions. I accept that a moderate amount of contradiction is characteristically though not exclusively human, but I am troubled by the nature of some of my inner conflicts.

Different people seem to understand different aspects of me, as I seem to relate to different aspects of them. I do not know if this knowledge is sufficient to be called understanding. If one can only have a partial knowledge of oneself, how can one possibly expect one's understanding of others to be embracing.

And just as well. There are parts of my mind that really should for the most part be kept safe... I am just not sure where the balance lies as far as discretion and candour.

I don't believe so.
Although sometimes I don't understand myself...

My mom understands me most of the time. She tries really hard to at least.
My cat understands me. He excepts me just as I am. In fact, he is curled up next to me right now watching my laptop.
Other than that, no, no one else understands me at all.

No one, not even my own family has ever understood me. It's like there's this huge hole full of things I'd like to explain but can't because they'd never understand dividing me from them.

My friends understand me the most, out of all the people that I know, both online and IRL.
