I'm always apologizing for people not understanding me. Why should I have to apologize to YOU just because YOU don't understand what I'M saying? People never understand my way of thinking, or my way of living/coping with life. People always ask me, "what's so bad about your life that you hate it so much?" and saying things like, "You're upset for no reason", "Its not that big a deal, get over it.". They don't understand that while I'm aware that my life is not necessarily "bad", I have completely different goals and things that I want to accomplish than most. I have higher expectations and it's discouraging and frustrating when things go wrong on such a sensitive mission. I don't think I need to apologize for not being satisfied with the life I'm currently living. Isn't that the point of life? To shoot for things much higher and bigger than how/what you've got? I don't think that I need to apologize for getting frustrated that 99% of the people I know, don't understand why/what I want from life. And 100% of my family don't believe in the said goals that I'm trying accomplish. It's hard when seemingly everything is going wrong and day after day you have new obstacles to face. I don't think I should apologize for wishing things were easier and being frustrated that they aren't. I think that's a normal human emotion, especially when you have such big goals and standards for yourself.  I'm not trying to throw a pity party, and I don't think that everyone is out to get me. I'm not even asking anyone to apologize to me. I'm just annoyed and I don't think being upset/frustrated is anything to be sorry for.
