No one has ever properly understood me, I have never fully understood anyone; and no one understands anyone else

Why is it that no one understands me and everybody likes me

People understand me so little that they do not even understand when I complain of being misunderstood.

I don’t have many friends, I just know a lot of people.

Nobody understands the world they’re in, but some people are better off at it than others.

With this book in my hands, reading aloud to my friends, questioning them, explaining to them, I was made clearly to understand that I had no friends, that I was alone in the world. Because in not understanding the meaning of the words, neither I nor my friends, one thing became very clear and that was that there were ways of not understanding and that the difference between the non-understanding of one individual and the non-understanding of another created a world of terra firma even more solid than differences of understanding.

How can she? She's incapable of understanding anything. Besides, do any of us understand what we are doing? If we did, would we ever do it?

I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself.

No one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble. Not knowing how hard it is to carry on when no one loves you.

Most of my friends are into strange things I don't really understand - and with a few shameful exceptions I wish them all well. Who am I, after all, to tell some friend he shouldn't change his name to Oliver High, get rid of his family, and join a Satanism cult in Seattle? Or to argue with another friend who wants to buy a single-shot Remington Fireball so he can go out and shoot cops from a safe distance?

My coming brought no profit to the sky,
Nor does my going swell its glory;
My two ears have never heard anyone that could say,
Why I came here and why I will go away.

None of you understand. I'm not locked up in here with YOU. You're locked up in here with ME.

Anyone who isn't confused really doesn't understand the situation.

I've come too far, and I don't know how to get back.
