Because American culture is neurotic and materialistic. People all put on shows of who they think they are supposed to be. If you open up to people they think there is something wrong with you. Everyone must be happy and doing great or there is something wrong with them. There are many people who are true to themselves, but they are way out numbered by the walking dead.

If you will break your question down a little, maybe you will get some answers.
1. Describe "I", meaning yourself. Write down a description of yourself.
2. Describe "feel", meaning your feelings, put a label on them.
3. Find other words in the Thesaurus to replace the word "relate".
4. Name specifically your "anyone". At least name someone you would like to relate to.
Identifying yourself, and relating to yourself, is the beginning of all relationships.
"Know yourself"...... is not just a lot of psychological bull_hit.
Dig in friend. There is a universe inside you, start exploring.
Hint: Since you have enough intelligence to ask this question, others will definitely be interested in your intelligence, I feel sure. I trust that you will have many relationships as time goes by.
Don't forget to relate to your surroundings, God, Earth, animals etc. Nature is a good teacher also.

you can but maybe you have had a bad week and you feel bad so maybe you should take a breather and think about life for a little bit and then you will see how many people you relate to. its probably just a mood swing. we all have them

ur not the only one. people r just so different, sometimes people can't relate to other people. its just human nature-- u need expirience to no wat they r talking about. if u really wish to express ur feelings, or really try to understand, just be optimistic and look out 4 those little little things some notice and others dont. write in a diary, or just have a friend who'll listen 2 u no matter whether they understand it or not.

Because you probably can't like me. I can't because I feel sympathay for everyone else. Plus I'm always around when someone needs me and no one is ever there for me. But Idk if you just never really clicked with anyone or not to be able to relate to what they mean. You might have just never realized it.

because your going through a period in ur life at the moment where ur not feeling heard or understood. Is anything major going on right now in ur life? a life change possibly? this is normal and will pass, your on the right track coming here and asking though.

I have the same problem. I feel so distant from people. I'd rather immerse in my thoughts and feelings than engage myself in the real world. Maybe it's an introverted thing. Are you introverted?

Probably because you're a very empathetic person who can put yourself in other peoples shoes and understand why they feel the way they do.

if you cant relate..that means you have no empathy.... putting yourselves in other peoples positions makes you an empathetic/sympathetic person... i'm not saying you dont care....but sometimes you just have to go through what theyre going through in order to really understand, "relate"..and help them.
