I don't think that it is your fault that you are unappreciated. It happens and most of us all have done it before; we take people, even the ones who are closest to us, for granted despite their best efforts to help us. Sometimes we just don't notice how much they care for us. If it's bothering you too much, you should communicate with the person who you feel takes you for granted so that they notice how their lack of regard for your efforts is hurting you.

Chances are, you might be hanging out with people who make you feel that way. It took me to the point of almost dying for people to show that hey cared about me, and that proves that they cared all along. I'm sorry you're feeling this way, and a lot of people know how you feel. Most people take advantage and forget to thank the amazing people around them, and that is more than likely what's causing you to feel unappreciated. Just know that you are loved, and appreciated no matter who truly tells you, they notice the little things you do.

You feel unappreciated because we just focus to this particular person/group of persons that do not appreciate us instead of those people who is unconditionally loving us and care for us

People tend to have their own "standard" on their mind,unappreciated by someone may lead you to frustration. We don't live to impress other, appreciate yourself.

Because you might be looking for other people's appreciation. You should learn to appreciate yourself first. Before wanting anyone to want you. At the end, the only person who will stay with you, it's YOU. When you learn to embrace that, everything else will come along.

You're the best one to answer that question! The best we can do is offer some possible answers, or suggestiosn for how to figure out the answer yourself. You may feel unappreciated because the people you have socialized with so far, or most often, do not appear to listen to you, acknowledge you, or treat you in the way you feel you should be treated. It is totally fair for you to be treated the way you want to be treated. Sometimes it is necessary to communicate these needs to the people around us so that they know what will help us feel appreciated. Sometimes it is best to disassociate with our normal social circles or public places, and look for new public places or social circles to engage with until we find people who appreciate us the way we deserve. Some questions you may want to ask yourself are, How long have you been feeling this way? When was the first time you feel unappreciated, and appreciated? What do other people do or say that makes you feel unappreciated? What actions or words help you know you're appreciated? Good luck and have patience with yourself.

When I hear people ask this i find myself wondering who you wish to be appreciated by and if indeed you actually appreciate yourself. Often we look elsewhere for that which we find difficult, Could this be a case of giving to much and receiving too little?

Expecting too much from people is the soul reason of getting hurt. When we are doing something worthy of appreciation, we need to have the strength to acknowledge that we might not be treated in the best way. Still, trying to make the world better without searching for any ovation, that's what makes us so great.
