Here is a recent highlight from the replies to the question in the title:

You are most likely never going to be fully understood, even by those who you thought really knew you.
When the ones you love the most betray you, you cannot go to them for comfort because they are the ones who did it to you. You are alone.
More people resent you and have contempt for you than you could imagine.
The left will never accomplish anything because organizing its members is like herding cats.
The inverse reason is why the right is always so effective.
Few people are actually capable of love. For most, it is a contract of convenience.
The ability to listen, openly, without judgment, is the most powerful skill in the universe for creating peace.
Few can do #7, so war will always be with us.
You can assert your rights all day long, but unless you have the leverage to back it up, you have already lost.
Maybe you’re the bad guy. Me too
