FEELING UNAPPRECIATED

It’s honestly one of the worst feelings in the world to feel unappreciated by the ones you love the most. I promise I do so much for others, care so much, but it’s not reciprocated back.

I just want to be someone’s first choice, someone’s priority. I feel like I’m constantly chasing people to love me or to even just care about me. I’ve wasted so much time, did my absolute best, trying to please everyone. BUT FOR WHAT??

It hurts bc I feel so worthless and unlovable. It makes me think that there’s something wrong with me. I just want to be loved the way I love others. Is that too much to ask 🥹

Experiencing feelings of being unappreciated can be disheartening, but it's important to recognize that these emotions are common and valid. Often, the lack of acknowledgment from others can stem from their own struggles with emotional expression or awareness. It's crucial to communicate openly with loved ones about your feelings, as they may not realize the impact their actions (or lack thereof) have on you. Additionally, focusing on self-love and self-validation can significantly help in overcoming feelings of unappreciation. Engage in activities that make you feel valued and fulfilled, such as self-care routines, pursuing hobbies, or even seeking professional guidance through therapy. These practices can improve your mental health and provide you with the strength to confront feelings of worthlessness. Moreover, consider expanding your social circle or joining communities where mutual appreciation and support are prioritized. Platforms like support groups or friendly forums can offer an outlet to share experiences, connect with others who understand your feelings, and cultivate a sense of belonging. Remember, it's essential to be your own biggest supporter and to recognize your worth independently of others' validation.

I always say love and appreciate yourself because others will follow. You also should surround yourself with people who appreciate you and lift you up. You have to be the one to do it yourself first though
