Every person in this world is busy with their own life, so no one will have time to show interest in you. People doesn't reject you they are just busy.

Because of insecurities....that you battle against yourself. We sometimes allow our own faults to pull us into believing others see them and we think that others don't like us because we don't like ourselves .

Maybe bcoz you haven't accepted yourself completely. When you accept yourself, so will others. Bcoz people can sense it.

From experience people who reject or hurt others are being hurt themselves or don’t know how to act around you because they may want to friendly towards you but are to scared.

I frequently feel as though I am rejected or neglected by people because I feel anxious to express my likes and interests. It can sometimes make it hard to connect with others and ends in rejection. I am working on being more open about what I enjoy, however!

Sometimes it helps to carry on and do your own thing without worrying about what other people think. In other words, to get out of your own head and do. Maybe you want to dip your toe in volunteering, learn a foreign language that's always interested you, or learn to play a new musical instrument. 'Doing' may improve your feelings of confidence and self worth. You may even meet other people, who share your interest. As a result, maybe you will start worrying less about what others think of you while fostering pride in yourself for the cool, interesting person you are becoming!

I feel like I'm being neglected when the person acts as if they are uninterested in me, or ignores me. I feel uncared for. Especially when I feel as if I'm not being given the proper amount of attention necessary. A failure to provide. For example, if I'm feeling neglected from a parent, I feel like they are not fulfilling their duties to feed, nurture and care for me. Which can be a hard emotion to decipher. When I'm lacking in attention and affection I become very upset and frustrated with the other person. I especially feel neglected and rejected when I express these emotions and the other person doesn't care.

Because you haven't accepted yourself i think. You look at others to give approval that you look good or you are good. People don't know you accept it. They not acceting you is like illiterate people telling the story in the book is bad by just seeing the pictures. They don't know and they don't need to. You need to know yourself and become the best company you can ever have dor yourself. Their approval is nothing it doesn't count because they judge you on the basis of their own insecurities. If you work hard then they will regret that they didn't and then reject you. Because they know you are better than them and working harder than them

All emotions are based on our perceptions of situations. If your perception is that you are rejected and neglected by people then your mind will always find external situations to prove you right. If you are able to look within yourself and learn why you have this conditioning in the first place, and are able to change the story in your mind, you will be able to open up your story to see a whole new set of people that you did not notice before. The challenge: Are you willing to own your perceptions? If you perceived situations one way, the good news is that you can with patience and hard work learn how to live a life where you are loved and supported. Ask yourself: how do I react when I assume this world view of being rejected and neglected? How does my reaction create this reality?

I have always felt, and my experience has been, that with few exceptions, humans are mostly VERY cold and selfish. The human realm is very difficult to navigate. It is so hard to know how to put yourself out there, and who to trust. Vanity, social climbing and cattiness are everywhere. After over 50 years of generosity and open hardheartedness, I am learning to be much more careful when putting myself out there. Trust takes time to develop, and can never be assumed. Be patient, be careful. Hold back and observe, and you will see who is worth your precious time, your precious love.
