Yes. Don’t try to be truly understood, no one will truly understand you. Try to understand instead of trying to be understood. There’s a difference. Understand yourself, understand and accept your needs, wants and desires. Understand yourself and you will understand other people and become so close to them, that you will not need their understanding. The desire to be understood (seen) by other people is just your masked desire to understand (see) yourself. Seeing yourself is accepting yourself. Trying to make others see you is just a distraction. It’s considered a universal human need, but it’s a distraction. You are putting your happiness in their hands, but it’s in your hands, it’s already here. Pay more attention to how you feel, to what you want, to what your heart desires. The journey through life is an internal one, focus on yourself, that’s the key to happiness.
