Ah! A social / communicatoin question. Good one too.

  I take "being understood" as a personal challenge.

  I relish explaining myself 57 different ways if necessary to get
  someone else to say or show, "I understand" - even if they don't
  agree with me.

  But I understand when someone gets frustrated and goes, "THERE'S
  NO POINT IN TALKING TO YOU" when they feel misunderstood. I
  happen to be good at analogizing many different ways to explain
  myself but I understand not everybody relishes the challenge of
  being understood like me.

  I'm a weirdo in that way :P That being said, there _are_ times I
  just walk away from a conversation; and it's usually when
  there's no conversing going on, but merely boxing gloves. I like
  communicating in order to be understand but if someone is hell
  bent on convincing me, I find some way to agree and 'let them
  win' because, I'm not trying to win their battle. It's not my
  fight. They can have the trophy.
