you don't understand me

"You don't understand me. Nobody does."

The sentence above perhaps, the same classic argument between lovers or friends or family, around the world. Apparently, not only in my country, Indonesia, people made this "you don't understand me" reason become the pivotal issue for two, or more, people to quarrel each other.
To me, personally, it's the lamest argument, ever. In fact, blatantly speaking, I STRONGLY dislike such sentence.

Why?

First of all, I hate quarreling.

I mean, come on, don't you think we are all too old to even do some quarrels like teenagers? I really think that adults should sit down, face to face, looking straight to the eyes, and communicate! Talk reasonably and logically. Stop talking about feelings--unless you are expressing how you love the person you are talking to.

Secondly, how the hell such sentence could be validated as an argument at all? This "understand me" thing is very selfish! I never wanted to be understood. Because if I wanted anyone to understand what I mean, I will explain it first to them, loud and clear.

And what makes you think I'm a paranormal? If you don't explain yourself, or explain to me what you want or need from me, how can I know? If I didn't know, how can I understand it? 

Life is not a guessing game!

In my younger time, I met a lot of boyfriends who demanded me to be more understanding to them. But then, they didn't even give me a single clue of what they wanted or needed. And when I didn't do what they want, they started to pout and saying, "You don't understand me."

Helloooo.. Who do you think your girlfriend is? A paranormal? I ain't no paranormal. Get a grip on yourself. ^_^

Well, some might find I'm a cold-hearted bitch, but no Sir, I am not. I'm a rational woman. I think with my head, not with my heart. But I do FEEL with my heart, not with my head.

If you're saying that, "you don't understand me", of course I will never understand you. Or perhaps, I will understand a little bit, thanks to experiences and fast-learning of one's situation. But it's all standard understanding.

If you wanted me to understand you a little more specific: about yourself, then TALK to me. COMMUNICATE with me. EXPLAIN me about yourself. I will take a careful note in my head, and my heart. So next time we're facing something in the future, I will know what to do with you.
Simple, right? ^_^

Anyways, if I loved someone very much, I will automatically look deep within his soul. I'm feeling and attaching my heart into his heart, so I can learn him. Learn to understand him. He won't need a lot of words to explain himself. He just need to tell me his personal life and experience, what he likes and don't like, then I will know what to do next with his heart. And in that case, I will use my woman's intuition. Trust me, woman's intuition is never wrong.

So, guys, do us--ladies--a favor. If you wanted us to understand you: start COMMUNICATING. ^_^
