    You are a tree. Why are you even concerned with this? You are tree. You don't even talk. Silly tree.

    However = Item B is contrary to Item A

    Billy was insulted several times. However, he stayed positive.

    Although = Item A is true, but so is Item B

    Although Billy was insulted, he kept a optimistic outlook on life.

    Despite = Item B is true even though Item A suggests that Item B would be false

    Despite many insults, Billy wasn't negative about the situation.

    In all reality, they're three in the same.
