and it's more than okay to feel sorrow when people don't understand you (have they ever really understood you?) and don't even bother to make the effort to keep trying. You're worth more than that. Hey, many times I don't understand you, but I never stop trying to figure you out! That's called friendship!

Welcome to the ranks of the orphans, literal and metaphoric. We have to look out for each other.
Hugs and warm thoughts of comfort.
