I just re-read your post wherein you asked: "When somebody says 'you don't know how I feel'...what are they saying, you asked. I think that they're saying: "You cannot come into my PARTICULAR BEING and know my PARTICULAR FEELING...you can empathize...you can know some of what I am feeling...but, you cannot become a part of my particular being and, therefore, cannot know exactly how I am feeling. Thanks, again, for your input, ECD....
