It could be cause your depressed and you are upset and you think they dont care thats what i think!!
People feel unappreciated when they aren't thanked enough. So remember to always say Thank You! The little things mean the most when it comes to appreciation.
Maybe because you get no appreciation. The more you depend on it the more it is a problem. If you just dont care, this is no problem at all.
You feel unappreciated because you expect too much. Sometimes we expect more from others because we would be willing to do that much for them. If you are doing something just for the sake of feeling appreciated then trust me you are having very low standards. You need to raise the bar. Do something because it has something to do with your very existence. Do something without expecting anything in return. When you will do that you will realize you are getting more than you need and you will be filled with gratitude.
Maybe those around you haven't realized how good of a person you are and how much they really need you.
Part of it may be because of how you feel about yourself. If you look down upon yourself, you are going to believe that no one appreciates you or that they think that same way about you. When you think positively about yourself, you no longer notice when someone is being unappreciative. That is one of MANY reasons why you may be feeling this way.
You may feel like this due to lack of communication with friends, talking to friends and family can help.
Sometimes when people look to others for recognition they are giving up the power to be in control of their own emotions. This can also be the case for appreciation. Do things for yourself first above all, and if you have the resources, such as time, do things for others. The important thing is looking after yourself and your feelings first. Which doesn't mean not to help others, but focus on your own internal recognition instead of looking to others. How does it make you feel to help other people?
Because the people around you are shit and you need to find better ones who will treat you way better.
Sometimes dumb people don't realize how truly amazing we are. You are such an amazing creature and I'm sorry that some people are just too clueless, but people can be selfish and forget to notice the amazing beauty in others. Try to surround yourself in people who love you and appreciate you. They might be difficult to find but I promise you can.
Usually because you are. Being around the wrong crowd of people can cause neglect and sorrow because of how you are treated.
Maybe we judge ourself too much that even the appreciation that we get doesn't get registered in our mind.
Are there people around you that are making you feel like that? An opinion of yourself doesn't usually come from within so maybe something externally is making you feel unappreciated.
People are different and any of them has his meter of appreciation. There is no way except their deep knowledge to know why.

Most of the time I feel so unappreciated is because I'm looking for acceptance and the feeling of being wanted in the wrong crowd. Try switching it up and stepping out of your comfort zone!

It may be because of depression. Depression can make you believe a lot of things that are not, but just know that your are very appreciated.
Sometimes we can feel unappreciated by people telling us we are not worth it, but in fact they are just jealous....

I know that feeling.But it doesn't exist,just because you don't have as many friends as other doesn't mean that you're unappreciated.We nee you in this world.
You're not. Trust me, you're worth more than what you think. You are appreciated very much. It takes time.

You may feel so unappreciated because you may feel that people don't appreciate you or acknowledge that you are there, and if you help someone who doesn't say thank-you or help you in return, this may leave you feeling unappreciated too.

it's probably because you over think about things and people's reactions ... start by appreciating yourself .. once you do that you'll see the world from a whol other different view
maybe from a past experience or someone in your life makes you feel unwanted. I know it happens a lot
It may be due to isolation, or not socialising with people enough. Try to talk to people and make conversation with them. Make a comment about their outfit and I am sure they will do the same back to you.
So you would like to feel appreciated, and you are wondering why you do not experience it so much in your life?
Appreciation.. I think there's so many people on this planet who would be supported if they would experience more appreciation. I like your question!
I'm curious.. is the lack of appreciation you experience something you expect to come from outside of you, or from inside of you..? As I see it, it is hard to receive appreciation from others when you experience little self-appreciation. Also, I am convinced, that when you are surrounded with people who have little appreciation for themselves, it will be challenging for them to express their appreciation for you.
For me personally, it has been very supportive to strengthen my self-appreciation. For several months now, each night before I go to sleep, I write down three things that I appreciate about myself. Also, I add the 'basic human need' that was met by what I did or how I am.
As an example:
I appreciate that..
- "I asked for my friend to listen to me for 30 minutes while I express what is alive in me. In this time, I shared everything that was bothering me while he just listened in silence."
Needs that are met: self-expression, being heard, relaxation (to speak with someone listening in silence), support.
.. I noticed after doing this for a few days only, that during the day I started to notice more aspects of myself (character, activities..) that I appreciation. AND, I started to recognise my appreciation for others more. Since I do this, I feel more kindness towards myself and I really enjoy it.
Maybe this is something you'd like to try? :)

I feel unappreciated because I do not recieve the help from my family that I need. It breaks my heart knowing that they don't really care.

Sometimes we feel certain ways out of a feeling we feel about ourselves, this can be really hard but we need to learn to appreciate ourselves.
