You Understand Me? 

A USMC drill instructor's favorite phrase to add onto every single sentence. It is extremely annoying. Drill Instructors must be taught to say this to recruits to annoy them because ALL OF THEM do it.
Drill Instructor: "We are stepping off to chow in two minutes, you understand me? Don't be the one that isn't done making their rack by then, you understand me? I will slay you if you are fucked up in any way once you walk out that hatch, you understand me?!"

I ask for you to make an effort to understand me 

A succinct phrase that unfortunately has to be used whenever a person, despite already doing the best you can to make your point clear, has misinterpreted your point.

Using this phrase is almost essential nowadays when you try to express your opinion on the internet.
Internet user 1: So what you're saying is that people aren't allowed to have personal opinions?

Internet user 2: I ask for you to make an effort to understand me. I am not saying that people's right to freedom of speech should be taken away, but rather that free speech should have limits. Hate speech crosses that limit.

Rugby is much rougher then football so the way he grabbed his hair made him understand the difference.

There is nothing wrong with me! Do you understand!? 

Angry Sherlock phrase, from the BBC's show 'Sherlock' aired from 2010-2017, being the way to tell people there's nothing wrong with you via humour, showing others you're intellectual and know what to watch.
1: Bro, you've got issues. I think there's something wrong with you.
2: (Sherlock voice) There is nothing wrong with me! Do you understand!?
1: Never mind. There isn't. I will worship you from now on.

Everything is simply a shape, a form, an identifier to let others recognize me as me! But then, what am I? Is this me? My true self? My fake self? What is it that I am? Nobody understands me! 

Don't quote this in therapy you filthy shinnie.
you know how Shinji Ikari once said: "Everything is simply a shape, a form, an identifier to let others recognize me as me! But then, what am I? Is this me? My true self? My fake self? What is it that I am? Nobody understands me!" yeah, I relate to that.

no one understands me 

no one understands me... :(

Only Kurt Cobain understands me

Stock phrase used by smelly rockers in times of despair, confusion or sexual abuse.
James: Get your hand off my leg, you smelly rocker - If I wanted trash, I'd have sex with roadkill.
Smelly Rocker: Oh God, most embarassing thing since Dad bought me that Avril Lavinge album for my birthday... Only Kurt Cobain understands me.
