You may not be getting something you want or need in a personal relationship.
You may not understand why. Could it be because you haven't actually asked
for it, preferring instead to be understood without asking? Could it be that
you have asked, but maybe you didn't ask clearly enough or precisely enough?
Or perhaps you have asked, you have been extremely clear, and your request
has been ignored anyway. The first two reasons are easy to address, Leo. If
it is the last reason, though, you need to acknowledge that you deserve to be
heard, and then you need to be more assertive.
