People get misunderstood for a whole manner of reasons. Not being able to proficiewntly state your case. What you do and say is outside of the understanding of those listening to you or viewing you. Those who are "gatekeepers" arte frightened by what you are as it's outside of their tiny remit to grasp it all. The good news is that with perseverance one can get where one needs to go and the end result is far more satisfying than it would have been should you have given up early on.
