Well, the hard truth is you were dependent on someone else to share the love with you. It's like if you can't stand by yourself, and every time the person you lean on walks away, you fall and wait for the next person to support you so you can stand. It's the same with love. If you love yourself, you support yourself, so everytime someone breaks up or leaves, you won't feel unloved and unworthy because you know your worth, and your value

Breakups are extremely difficult because they are a time of transition. Though transition can be a really good thing, it is often uncomfortable. When we are in relationships, we often find our self-identity and self-worth in the relationship and that other person. After experiencing a breakup, we have to learn how to readjust to life as an individual. It's not easy - and naturally we can feel useless and unloved. But once you change your perspective and learn to love yourself for who you are, and not what relationship you're in, the gray cloud lifts. Focus on taking care of yourself and you'll never go wrong...

It's a natural thought process after every breakup. The one person who meant the world to us has let go,or we have let go of them. First thing that comes to mind is if we would ever find that same connection with someone else. We feel like there might be no other.

someone used to give all his/her attention to us.so when we breakup no one give the special attention. We lose our bestfriend and someone important to us.

Breakups are always hard because it can never be ended with the words 'I want to break up', there is always the question of why? is it something that you did? is there something wrong with you? You were once close to someone and it is hard to back away from that closeness. And it is ok to be sad and upset, it's normal to go through emotions following a break-up. But it doesn't mean that you are unloved and useless. Should you be struggling to move forward from a break-up, I would advise the self-help guide on this website. It may help you to think about things more clearly and more rationally about the break-up, rather than thinking in terms of how the relationship reflects you as a person.

You may feel that way because you have parted with probably a big part of your life. They most likely have given you alot to remember and loseing that maybe won't have a positive impact on your feelings.

This is a normal reaction. Depending on how long you have been broken up the absence of constant affection and support would make anyone upset.

it's perfectly normal to feel "useless and unloved" after a breakup. We invest so much time and worth and love into our partner, and we expect them to do the same. Eventually, their opinion of us holds a lot of weight for us. Breaking up with someone, even if amicably done, can trigger feeling of "unworthiness" because that person no longer wants to be your main focus, or they no longer want you as their main focus and it's hard not to take that personally, or emotionally. But that doesn't mean that we cant take the time to regain our self-worth, and establish our worthiness from within! It just takes a bit of time and some healing! Wishing you all the best! Always.

It's normal to feel this way after a breakup. Breakups can be so hard and can really damage our self esteem. But after a while, many find that their happiness and worth doesn't depend on a person, and they learn to be their own friend:)

Because you aren't with that person that you loved everyday like you used to. So you aren't used to not hearing from them or seeing them.
I still love my ex. Should I feel this way?
