I feel misunderstood all the time.

Lucy, I love people who freely express their feelings. Expressing things like joy or sadness is beautiful. Its ok to be frustrated or angry too if you don't take it out on everyone. You should be able to tell your friend you are angry sometimes. It's wonderful to be open and sensitive to the world and other people.

I've found that if someone always rejects my feelings or thoughts that they aren't a good friend for me. They may be a nice person, but friends have to accept each other.

Sometimes though you have to think about your friends feelings. If they like you and accept you, but just don't like it when you say certain things, it's ok not to talk about that when you are them. The thing is that you have to feel like they accept you anyhow, and you have to feel comfortable being yourself around them.
