What’s something most people don’t understand?

I have to be honest in saying that I don’t really understand this question. I mean, there’s a lot that people don’t understand about me personally if this is what is meant by this question. The best example of this is what goes on in my head at any given time. I can be ok one minute and then stressed about something the next. This could be an existing problem that has taken too long to solve or nervousness about something that is soon to happen. Then there are times when I lose sight of reality and get mad at a person who doesn’t exist and forget that I don’t have a girlfriend to be mad at as I would normally play out scenarios that occurred during and after my first relationship as if they are relevant now. The odd time, I may have good flashbacks, (most notably when we were getting intimate,) but any scenario involving mom and her working as a unit in my head gets me upset and this further proves the fact that maybe I shouldn’t have a girlfriend while all of the intimate scenarios prove that it may be a possibility. This is the problem and it’s one that can’t really be fixed. People just don’t understand my mindset half the time. They don’t know whether I’m in a good mood or a bad one. To be fair though, most of the time I don’t either. I guess to put it all in perspective, I have my good days and bad days like everyone else.
