My parents don't understand me. What should I do?

Try talking to them calmly. Wait until they are ready to listen to what you have to say and then slowly and calmly explain what you need or want them to know.

You should try to set with them both and speak with polite way and tell them that you love to share everything in your life with thembut you scared because they don't understand you and tell them that you want their help and to know how to deal with you

Try to speak again to your parents with more simplified language, your parents are trying so hard to be as close as they can to you, so the more you can be simple and direct in addressing a situation to them it will be more likely for them to understand you.

It can be very difficult when your parents don't understand you, could you try and sit them down and explain everything to them, it may be hard but your parents love you and will understand you and wouldn't want you to be hurt, it would really be benificial to tell them.

Sit down with your parents and have a conversation about how you feel and see if you can compromise.

You should sit with them and discuss your feelings. Being open with them may help you feel better and it may also improve your realationship.

It depends on what's the case but in general if you feel like your parents really don't understand you at all, then let them know aobut your feelings. Sit and talk with them constructively and true to understand their point of view, it may seem annoying and boring but it's worth it!

I suggest you to have a really long talk with them so you can let them know how you feel about them not understanding you.

There are going to be a lot of times when your fathers are not going to understand you and it's ok. Everybody thinks different. Be patient and stay strong.

You should sit with your parents and talk about why you feel this way. The solution can be found by simply addressing the problem at its core. If you feel they don't understand you, let them know and discuss why. Often a calm chat can be the solution to a larger issue.

Sometimes being the closest people to us doesn't guarantee that they understand us. But maybe they understand you but you don't realise. Maybe they really don't. Maybe they understand you a bit but you don't realise at all. If they don't, and it disturbs you, maybe you need to spend more time with them. So they can get to know you more. But if that fact doesn't disturb you, then they don't need to understand you. Wish you all the best!

Try to understand where they're coming from. Parents only wamt what's best for their kids, but sometimes they just don't know how to give it to them. So try to look at things from their perspective.

I suggest you give some space from yourself and your parents. Also try and reason with them, and listen to what they have to say.

You could write then a letter/ email outlining your feelings and thoughts let them read it and ask them to speak to your afterwards. That way you can tell them all that you want to without interruption.

It's hard for your parents to understand you because they are not you, they do not experience what you do everyday, maybe they need you to tell them how it's to be you! Teach them to understand you :)

I find that it’s always smart to listen to my parents’ viewpoint. Perhaps their opinion isn’t as far away from mine after all, and the disagreement might not be as big as I expected.

That depends on what they don't understand. The main thing to do is to have a calm and rational discussion about it. Try not to get angry or use sarcasm. They aren't inside your head (unfortunately), but probably want to at least make an effort.

Parents always have different thoughts, you should remember that when you try to tell them about your needs.

Try to understand what is preventing them from understanding you. The best way to do this is to withhold your point-of-view on any given topic while expressing a genuine interest in understanding their point-of-view. You want to avoid what therapist's call an "impasse," which is what happens when two people fail to see each other's perspectives because they are too busy defending their own. If you can get to where you are able to fully understand your parents' perspective, you will likely feel that there is really no need to judge their perspective as either right or wrong, good or bad. This is what we want from others when we want them to understand us. Once you have accomplished this with your parents, it will be easier to see how you can express your perspective to them in terms that make sense to them.

First of all, you need to realize that it's very normal and happens in every family. Discuss about it with your parents and explain them that they don't really understand you. AND...try to avoid conflicts with your parents.

Talk to themand let them know how your feeling and why. Maybe even write them a letter about what your going through.

It sounds like you're feeling like your parents don't notice you. Communicate openly with them so they can understand you better.

When do you think they do not understand you? And what makes the difference all about? is that just you be on your terms or are they too conventional to accept your ideas? What ever the answers are to above questions, Did you talk to them clearly all that is in your mind? Did you try to understand what they are trying to tell you and then act accordingly?

You should talk to a therapist using 7cups.com!!! It's a great website full of people who want to help you.

Tell them to sit down talk and tell them how you feel because if not then they'll never understand

Well, I usually talk to others (such as my relatives or friends). They kind of replace my parents in a way. Not sure whether this is a good thing or not but hey, it works for me. Then, my relatives will usually be the one who talk to my parents about me and it all worked out in the end.

Make your point clear to them and do it patiently. Calmly show them your perspective and show respect for their's too.

Just speak to them and tell them how you feel you will feel so much better even there what your parents don't understand you it doesn't mean they don't want to listen trying in track more is your parents watch film go out on the weekends and just have fun hope that helped

Put yourself in their shoes, then thoroughly explain to them how you're feeling and let them in.....

You've got to remember that you are in different points in your life; your parents have grown, matured and come from exactly where you are coming from now! What matters is that sometimes you have to explain your heart, and then close your preferences and hear their side of the story. Parents tend to be smarter than we give them credit for. (I hate to admit that!)
