“Who really understands you? Who wants to hear what you feel? Most people will answer, “No one.” Some few will say “So-and-so would like to hear it, but he can’t understand me really.” Very few people have someone they can share inner experience with, and then only up to a point. And even with yourself: have you not left certain places dark? Without even knowing just why you are scared of them? Or how you would go into them? Being so largely unknown and unseen makes us feel somewhat unreal, as if we exist only to ourselves and perhaps not quite even that.” — Eugene T. Gendlin
