Hey dude! Please don't get me wrong here, I think you're really cool and you've got a deep soul. Therefore, I'm going to offer what little I've learned about human nature.
It's not that people misunderstand you so much as you seem to need a whole lot of validation. You need to be real, and you have needs like the rest of us to be accepted and understood, but sometimes you have to stop preaching the same sermon for awhile and move on to another topic. The stuff you say--after your usual introductory paragraph about how misunderstood you are and how much you just want to be a good friend--is usually great. Good, strong Christian input, or just interesting pieces of you, like the music you like or other interests you have. You don't have to stop posting, but you might feel less misunderstood if you dropped the introductory apology and went straight to the point. I want to hear what you think about other stuff--what you like to do, when you began writing poetry, who has affected you in life, what food you like and why you're a vegan, what your favorite color and season and holiday are, who your first love was, how you came to know God...
Show me the rest of you!
