First off, whether these people are acquaintances or close friends is the question that comes to my mind. Because for someone to care enough to try and understand someone else not only takes the type of person who cares about people but also has a reason to be invested in putting time into learning about you. This, takes trust and friendship first. Not everyone is going to be as understanding as the next person but people you're tied to loosely even less so.

Some guy I work with and see at the office everyday isn't going to care about my inner workings, personality and life. The guy I hang out with regularly and is my close friend is more likely to do so, but again this depends on the person too. some friends are just not the ones I'd talk to over others.

So my point is, don't give up. Make friends, build trust and connection with people and then figure out which ones are the "listeners" in the crowd.
