I relate completely to this. Yes, being misunderstood is awful. Way worse than being disagreed with or ignored. It's a robbery of identity. As part of my job, a company my firm owned was sued and as part of a legal complaint, the lawyers for our adversary (Ford Motor) lied about what i had said. You can lie in a legal complaint using a few caveat words. I have never been so angry.

I'm somewhere on that road with you.

“ Cause ‘I’m just a soul who’s intentions are good, Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood” a song written by Sol Marcus, Bennie Benjamin, Gloria Caldwell and Horace Ott and one of its performers the incomparable, Nina Simone and also the version by the Animals came immediately to my mind as I read your (UN) Bearable. Seeing myself in the scenario your writing brought before me. Thank you for this.
