7 Signals of Fundamental Incompatibility

It's not the obvious flaws or toxic behaviors that predict relationship failure. It's subtle discrepancies in values and emotional needs that the infatuated mind rationalizes, but which become unsustainable in the longterm. 1. Incompatible emotional regulation styles- One seeks connection when... read more

Unpopular opinion

As a Black South African, I don’t think Donald Trump is the devil the media painted him to be. He said wild stuff, yes — but he also exposed the dirty side of global politics, especially the West’s double standards. That said, I don’t agree with how he misunderstood and misrepresented South... read more

Fading Echoes..

I used to hear the words you said And feel my heart settle into the warmth of your arms, But now, your voice just stings, An empty promise that no longer charms. The love we shared has turned to dust— A memory that’s slipping through my hands, I held on tight, but it’s fading fast, Like footprints... read more

I have chronic mental illness that's severe and chronic. I struggle consistently with Schizophrenia, Psychosis, Bipolar Disorder, Schizoaffective Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, Trauma/PTSD, and a Learning Disability. It's rough and I feel countless times misunderstood.

To the point of the matter my dad is representative payee and a lawyer who has built up an excellent rapport with society but at the heart of the matter where it pertains to my mental illness he is rather apathetic and seems rather recluse and shutoff in ways he needs to be with understanding my... read more

People crave connection.

Connection requires understanding. When you believe others can’t relate to you, it feels safer to stay silent. Sometimes, it’s about trust. Other times, it’s about fear. Fear of rejection. Fear of being misunderstood. These feelings are normal, but they can make you feel even more isolated.

"Questions about Love, Relationships, and Morality in a Capitalist World: Perspectives that Challenge Our Thinking"

How can we balance emotional availability without being taken advantage of? Is it possible to have meaningful... (edited) read more

Hades is the most misunderstood Olympian

Seriously, Hades probably has the worst PR with modern audiences out of all the Olympians. Hollywood likes to show Hades as an evil, scheming god whose only goals are to defeat Zeus and take control of Olympus. If you read the actual myths, however, he's nothing like how he is usually portrayed.... read more

Demons: To whom it may concern (which is everyone)

When I tried to kill my demons, I did not realize— I was murdering parts of my own soul. They were never "demons". They were "unattended emotions", howling at the door of my consciousness. "Misunderstood desires", pounding on the walls of my morality. "Stuck frustration", rotting in the... read more

True healing is not about getting better, but about letting go of everything that isn’t you.

Healing is often misunderstood. Many believe it means getting better, erasing pain, or becoming perfect. But real healing is different. It’s about peeling away the layers—old beliefs, fears, and expectations—that cover your authentic self. Letting go is ongoing. It’s not a one-time event. Each... read more

"I want to understand why you feel that way"...

There’s a deep intimacy in the words, “I want to understand why you feel that way.” It’s more than just listening—it’s a desire to step into someone’s world, to see through their eyes, to hold space for their emotions without judgment. It’s the kind of connection that doesn’t rush to fix or... read more

How often have you swallowed your truth? Muted your voice? Softened your edges so they wouldn’t cut too deep? It's okay to be misunderstood, it may be a sign you’re outgrowing the box you were put in. Being misunderstood doesn’t mean you’re wrong. Maybe the world isn’t ready for your truth yet.... read more

Questions from Quora: What do you think is the reason why INTJs are often misunderstood?

Because of the way we were 'designed'—our faces seem to give off this off-putting vibe from the start. I once asked a college friend what his first impression of me was. He replied that I seemed so unattainable, like a snobbish kid who didn’t want to get close to anyone or be approached. In other... read more

First, read a post at least twice, to make sure you "Understand" the whole context of that post. Second, after you finish typing a comment, read it again at least twice, to make sure yourself it won't sounds like a nonsense. Some men, I said [some] & [men] tend to "Oh, this post is insulting-

- and I should let people know, who's in charge" And they ended up with talking nonsense on people's posts just because they felt the posts was insulting, so they feel the urge to give a counterattack comments. While in fact, they just misunderstood the post. (edited)

Masks protect you from others, but they also protect others from knowing you.

When you hide who you are, you disconnect—from others and yourself. Pretending takes energy. It drains you, leaving little room for authenticity or joy. Worse, it creates a false version of yourself that people interact with. They don’t really see you. You might feel unseen, unheard, or... read more

The world has this sneaky way of convincing us that being understood equals being worthy. That if people don’t nod along or cheer us on, we must be doing something wrong. So we bend. We shrink. We twist ourselves into shapes that don’t even feel like us—all for the sake of approval. Why? Because... read more

Many people enter relationships without taking the time to figure out what they truly want.

Often, it starts with physical attraction, and they dive in without much thought. But understanding your needs, values, and expectations beforehand can save you from a lot of confusion and heartache later. When you’re clear about what you want, it’s easier to recognize whether someone is a good... read more
