Maybe you want to just scream out to them that you're a person too, and want to have friends, family, and love—but people just look at you and say Eww! put that frog back in the pond; or Aww what a cute little frog, but don't touch it, it's all slimy! You can laugh and say ok, for an hour or a day that might actually be fun. But what if you had to live that for days, weeks, months, and years. Every hour of every day always knowing exactly who you are, but no one else knowing or accepting that. They would only look at you and say "You're not a person, you're a frog. Go back to your pond and catch flies with your tongue." Or the mean ones would kick you and say "Get out of here you slimy creature!". How long could you endure that way? How badly would you want someone to come along and kiss you and break the spell—so that you can simply be the human being you know you are, and find happiness and love the way you need to have it?
