Well.. You know It's a trap to put your value or worth or capabilities or personality traits or anything which belongs to you, under the approval of someone else. If they approve it.. You are valuable if they don't then you feel you have no worth. Let's give this important decision in the hands of the person.. Who knows you the best and value you, appreciates you. And you know the person is who?? It's you.. Yourself.. So let's alstart appreciating ourselves and take the command of our life in our hands. And let noone tell you.. Ypu are worth it or not. Good luck!!

Often times, we do everything our power to bring about change, take care of others, achieve our goals, ect. Yet, it may feel that those around us are either unaware of our efforts or simply don't care. In most cases, this is because they most likely have conflict in their personal lives, feel jealousy towards your progress, or are facing mental health issues. Although it may be extremely difficult to have empathy towards this, it is important to constantly ask the questions "why?" and "what?". Why is this person ignoring my efforts? What are the some issues they may be dealing with that I am unaware of? Everyone is the star of their own movie; it is easy to forget that others have their own inner worlds. When it comes to feeling unappreciated, the people around you may be dealing with issues that prevent them from saying "thank you". In reality, if you were not making these efforts in the first place, you would be greatly missed. Remember that every positive action has an impact, even if it may not seem like it.

Self-appreciation starts from within. If you grew up not being appreciated for who you really are, it is quite likely you would incorporate a negative self-image. Going through this is a painful process and it requires a lot of strength and courage. The best way to change these inner patterns is through psychotherapy. Behind unappreciative of oneself lies pain for not being really SEEN, and recognized, and it can go hand in hand with anger or jealousy, or a constant need to prove yourself to the world around you. Try to ask yourself questions like "who didn't appreciate me in my life?" / "what I needed to feel appreciated?" / "how I felt for not being appreciated?" / "is there anyone who did appreciate me and what did that person thought me?" / "how can I forgive my parents (or friends) for not appreciating me?" / "how can I heal the wounded child in me that felt unappreciated?" ... Good luck on your journey and give yourself much love and patience!

Sometimes we are underappreciated. Some of us put more effort and energy into the things we do and people may not acknowledge that. Since we've worked so hard, it can really hurt. It can also really weigh us down. We can be hard to maintain the motivation to keep trying when we aren't getting good things told to us. It's okay to feel how you do. I wonder if it might be helpful to ask for feedback from safe people and hopefully get some appreciation that way. Try to hang in there and I hope you are able to get that appreciation soon.

In today's world, it can be hard to speak up about many things, and one of these is telling people when something genuinely touches you. Many people have trouble stating something so close to their heart; something like "Hey I have had a rough day, but when you treated me with respect, that really brightened my day and made me feel better about myself." I think this might be what you are going through. You might very well be having a positive impact on people's lives, but they're too afraid to thank you for it. One of the best ways to combat this is remind yourself of the good you are doing in your day-to-day life. Remember that you are appreciated and important to many people in your life.

Well, I have felt like you do and I may not know what you are going through but I can tell you that maybe the person that you're trying to please and the person you'tr trying to do better is the same person who's not that kind of a person who appreciated your existence in their life What if you're dealing with a person who don't care about you as much as you thought they did and they demonstrate this part of them selves by making you feel less valued If at work you do feel this way then maybe it's because your boss or your coleagues do this unconsiencly and they don't think bout it, then again they could be making you feel this way because they genuinely don't want you to get ahead and they want you to feel trapped because they are using you for their own personal gain

Maybe because you know you're true capability and worth and wish others would too. I completely get how you feel. I often feel like i'm unappreciated, underestimated and misunderstood by everyone. But the important thing is as long as you know who you are and what you want, screw what other people think and say, because at the end of the day you're gonna do you. I understand you said you feel unappreciated, but the thing about that is that you know what you can do, so you should embrace it. Sometimes it's good to remain low key and surprise people.

It could be a lot of reasons,either the people are thinking that way about you which is their right to do,but it's not always nice to feel unappreciated as other people are not always the same people you know that you met in your life,or it could be self-induced thinking caused by number of causes,like:poor diet,lack of sleep,having mental disorders,physical illnesses,and much more.Its just impossible to expect things to go great all the time,especially when it involves people,because people are too complex human beings,they are not the machines,as machines have limited amount of commands to do,while humans have infinite commands and unpredictive actions to do.

You may feel unappreciated because those around you don't seem to be showing you their gratification for things you are doing for them, but also, if you keep trying to please everyone, you may find that you start to become unhappy in yourself because you don't seem to be doing things for you, only for other people, and this may cause you to feel unappreciated because you are giving your all to everyone, and sometimes others just aren't the same as you.The problem with the world is that most people are too self consumed to show anyone/anything appreciation. Your worth isn't judged by the medals, thank you's, or congratulations you receive. It's judged by your ability to see who you truly are. Do you feel as if you do what you can to help others/improve the world around you? Don't look for others for appreciation, you'll be disappointed most of the time. You're an amazing person, never forget that. Just remember the only person you need appreciation from, is yourself.

Even I felt the same once but you know sometimes we expect too much from everything in return. If you're truly doing something to get something in return then it gives you happiness but not satisfaction. Actually, things aren't always how we want them to be. Appreciate yourself for doing good, for making people smile. If you love yourself enough then I don't think you need someone else. Also, be around people who appreciate your efforts. The ones who actually care about you, your emotions & your well being. Everyone is different & people don't always react the way we want them to. I hope this helps. :)
