Hey lovelies 馃┓
Is anybody aware of an existing word in English or any other language for the intense pain of being misunderstood?
We're thinking specifically about the kinda of pain that neurospicy folks often feel from being constantly misunderstood by others, but particularly by non-neurospicy folks.
It's usually a cumulative pain that builds up over years or even decades, and factors into neurodivergent experiences like Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) 
Thanks in advance 馃
Edit:
Here are some examples of the type of word we're looking for:
We lack sufficient knowledge of correctly combining ancient Greek words to find the correct words and forms for "being misunderstood" and "pain".

Am I the kind of autist who practices what theyre going to say in future interactions? Why yes.
Am I the kind of autist who also practices what theyre going to type in a future email? Also yes, at night, in my head before sleep.

My old retired downstairs neighbour put a glass of bird food in front of my door for me to find it.
Which was initially a wonderful and kind gesture has me now agonizing about how and when or if I should thank her. We see each other maybe once every 3 or 4 months because out lives simply have too different schedules.
Do I dress properly just to hop two floors down or do I do it in my baggy home clothes? Do I pretend to leave the house and happen to walk by because there's the definite danger that she invites me in and I don't do thing like ~that? Argh, why is this so hard.
