Do you feel this is true? You don't necessarily need someone who understands you, you just need someone who wants to?
Does anyone want to in your life?

If you're asking for a friend, then it depends on what your friend wants.
For instance, if your friend is coaching a soccer team, and they have a player who tries, but they just can't get it right. Kudos to them for trying, but you're a coach, and your ultimate goal is a win, while trying to be respectful of all the players.
Some people can't, despite their best efforts, but it's up to the other person to decide if they can "settle" for best effort, as opposed to what they really want.
If it's me, I want what I want, though I would go about it very respectfully.
