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

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? :)

Take time to appreciate you're self, if you feel you done so this right give yourself credit. Maybe you are appreciated more than you know.
