"People will forgive you for being wrong, never for being right." Often "Ha! I was right, I pidgeonholed you with 100% accuracy" is heard rather than a recognition of wisdom/knowledge. I suspect this is a leftover shadow reaction from the parent/child relationship.

I also think that the "understanding" only feels good when the target of understanding is bounded and intentionally expressed. E.g. if you proactively try to "understand" the truth of somebody who is intentionally wearing a mask they'll feel attacked.

Sad people for example seem more happy to feel understood rather than happy people. Online identities or avatars also probably are more happy to be understood since they express only a specific part of our whole selves. Being written off is impossible.
