Are you easy to understand or relate to?

Well I think the lay out of your question certainly made a point. I`m forever getting the wrong end of the stick ( what a saying ). My grand dad used to say " ah your back? its always nice to see your back"......... I never knew exactly if it was a compliment or not. So,I think some times I have trouble getting others if you see what I mean. I often talk in half sentences and those have known me for a long time can get what I mean. I find I use a lot of words sometimes without saying very much but my meaning always gets understood even if it is eventually hee tee

A few special people, & I do mean very few, & getting there was a journey. I have spent my entire life feeling different & I have been literally called weird more than once. Today I wear that label like a red badge of courage. In my old age I have come to learn that getting them is often enough. I am reminded of the prayer of St. Francis of Assisi & realize it is better to understand than be understood. At last I can say those words & really mean it.

Truth is; no matter how clearly we detail our messages, or relate our intentions, we never can have a 100% comprehensible recipients. Some of them will 'get us', some will be mid-confused and some totally won't. It all depends on the level of grasp of our audience.
On the other hand, I think I can reciprocate very well...because I only not listen to what people say,..but also to that which they cannot say.

I honestly don't. People see what I put out, but I have a lot of things that I keep to myself. I'm kind of guarded with my emotions. I've tried to reach out, but the people I know don't understand what I'm talking about, so I pretty much gave up trying. I keep everything on a superficial level, so I don't get the blank stares.

Not immediately. No instant gratification but I create a stirring that tweaks curiosity. Once a connection is made, most want more but quickly discover a lit bit goes a very long way.

I am very easy to get. I wear my heart on my sleeve, am as easy to read as a book and i can relate to anyone if I open my mind and walk a while in their shoes if need be (((PAX))).

I don't generally even expect to be really gotten. In most cases I want to be understood in the sense of exchanging accurate information and getting along, but for someone to really take the time and appreciate me? This is a lot to expect.

No - I often feel detached even in a group of friends. I crave a deeper connection with people on a level that I fear can't be reached.

Very few people get me and even fewer agree with me. I cannot fathom it especially because I believe myself to be trasparent and straightforward without any agendas or ulterior motives.

definitely. I don't know why they always look confused though when i'm talking. maybe because i'm a black man that sounds like a white woman. what can I do?
