understanding?

[painful paradice]

do you feel like your friends who don't do it truly understand you. I've lost friends over this whole SH thing, not like they died but they left me because they couldn't deal with me or it. and right now I'm down to a few friends online that do know and a few friends in RL that don't.
the thing is they listen and whatnot, but i don't feel like they get it. i don't feel like they understand me or why i burn or cut or some of them do hurt but for different reasons and they can't understand mine, and some just can't understand me trying to stop. I know i don't anymore.
but i never feel like they understand me. they listen to me. they talk to me, but they don't really get what I'm going through. i have one friend Luna who i love like there's no tomorrow. she listens to everything i have to say, to the point she knows what I mean before i explain it, but i don't feel like she or anyone else i know can comprehend the things i go through because of this.
anyone else have this kind of problem?

i've told my best friend that i sh, i hoped that he would understand but he didn't
it didn't seem like he could comprehend that hurting myself would make me feel any better. neither the reasons why i feel like i do.

i was so paranoid after i talked to him that he would stop talking to me etc,but our friendship haven't changed at all.
We only mentioned it once after that i told him, it was when we had been at a friends house pre partying and i didn't want to join them to the club because i felt so depressed at that moment, so i told him and he gave me a hug and told me (roughly translated) "i understand, get better"

so he may not understand why, but atleast he cares.

Whilst no I don't think anyone who has never harmed themself can ever truly understand that side of me, I think it'd be wrong to say they don't understand me. I think it's bought us a lot closer me and two of the friends I've ever spoken to about it, they're practically my sisters. I feel comfortable with them in a way i'm not really with anyone else. Sure they don't understand it but they looked it up read about it and have done their best and in that way i'm so grateful.

So yeah basically the point of that was no, I don't think they understand me any less.

If you want to maybe clue her up a bit more maybe print her some information or something I know my friends did this themselves and it did help them at least to try and empathise.
