We have all said it.
“you just don’t understand.”
When we just want to vent but don’t want solutions.
When we ask for help but don’t like the answer.
When we are making excuses that our friends no longer have the patience for.
Reality is – This is a cop out.
STOP SAYING IT.
Everyone understands.
Your problems aren’t special.
Everyone has problems.
And in general, they are all pretty similar.
Barring some pretty special cases, and sociopaths, everyone understands exactly what it feels like.
To have excuses.
Heartbreak.
Failure
Feel lost.
Stop alienating those that care enough about you to let you decompress, by degrading them with such a tripe and selfish response.
If they don’t understand as we may feel, then we shouldn’t seek their ear.
If they do understand, then we should listen up and make adjustments accordingly.
Either way – this phrase, “You just don’t understand”…
Has no purpose what so ever.
