You can never express your meaning in a way they understand. You tell them simply and straight forward how you feel yet they reiterate it in a completely different way. Eg. When someone has a mental illness and tries to explain it but the person doesn’t understand.
Child: I feel unheard. I told my parents I was having difficulty reading and they just told me to work harder.
Child’s friend: wow that sucks, I hope I never make you feel unheard, do you want a hug?
