Yeah, Nessea, it's really hard for others to understand. And understandably so! I also can't easily understand some things that other people go thru not having experienced it, but I do my best of course. So personally I try to give people the benefit of the doubt when they say things like that - they just don't know. But also, I don't much want to be around people who don't understand. I'm barely around people anyway, so it's almost a null issue. But it is one reason I am finding PsychCentral helpful - because everyone here automatically understands and has had the same or similar experience, and is sensitive to that.
