Why do I feel so unappreciated?

From my experience, when I feel unappreciated, it's usually because I am expecting more. The thought that goes through my head is, "If someone were to do this for me, how would I react?" And, if you do that thing for someone and they don't react in the same way you would have, then you feel unappreciated. But that's just showing that everyone has different levels of showing emotions, and we all have different expectations. If, let's say, I were to show appreciation by buying the person something and my partner shows appreciation by cooking me something- I shouldn't feel unappreciated if they never buy me things or they feel unappreciated if I never cook them anything.

i feel u appreciated when my friends and family look down on me for things i struggle in instead on the things i’m good in. like i help my family out with food and groceries and all that stuff but if there’s one day i don’t help they get mad cause i’m being selfish but when my brothers help it’s no big deal so i feel like i’m unappreciated for all the things i do to help my family around the house even though i’m the one who helps a lot things always get better in the end thou so i just need to keep my head up and look on the bright side

It Is Not Okay to Feel Unappreciated Feeling unappreciated is one of the worst feelings because it is never a feeling that stems as a result of being around strange people. It is a feeling that stems from being around people you are familiar with, either family or work. I guess because you let yourself feel that way. You may not know the self-worth and unaccredited yourself which is not good. You feel that nobody appreciate your work but it is not needed unless you let someone else decide what good did you accomplish. You should learn to appreciate your work. whatever work you do is the best you did in our capability. You reward yourself for the work you did

I have personally experienced this throughout my life. I found that in my experience it was because I felt that I had to prove that I was worthy. Once I found that loving myself and accepting myself completely that it was enough- that I myself was enough. Once I accepted that, I found that I no longer needed the approval of others. You see the reason why I felt that way was because I felt that if I was appreciated that meant I had other people's approval of my own accomplishments or contributions. I learned that I had to be my biggest fan first for my own happiness.

You think; therefore, you feel. Or, as others say it: You feel the way you think. You "feel" unappreciated because you believe that people are not acknowledging you in some way. Ultimately, beliefs and thoughts are powerful things that influence how you feel. My question for you would be, "What makes you believe that you are unappreciated?" If you have some convincing reasons why you feel this way, then that's probably why you feel unappreciated. For example, if you're someone who gives, gives, and gives to others, but get walked all over, then there's no wonder you feel unappreciated. However, if people seem to acknowledge your efforts, then there's something more going on that's making this way.

I’m sorry you feel so unappreciated. A lot of people feel the same way, and that can be very hard for us, and can effect are mental health a lot. Sometimes people feel unappreciated, if they don’t get attention, or if they don’t feel seem, they may feel everything they have done, was for nothing. Even if they worked so hard for it. Again, feeling unappreciated can effect us, and sometimes are mental health can be the one causing you to feel that way, but I can tell you, I appreciate you, and everyone should be appreciated, everyone is special.

I had felt the exact same thing. When I analyze back I think it happened because I put in far more effort (let it be any effort, personal, professional, emotional...) than I possibly can or required. After that we feel exhausted but at that point no one will be there to hold us up right we will have to pick ourselves up. It can happen if actually we are not appreciated as well. Sometimes even when we are appreciated verbally we get the guy feeling that the appreciation is not coming from heart but rather than a social act... So in a nut shell it is a very valid point and we do emotional starved at times like this...

Are you expressing your situation clearly? Are you looking for validation from someone other than yourself? You should know that you are your own person and you should only focus on yourself and not what others think of you. If you have an issue with someone else, you should discuss it with that person. It is important to have open communication in order to fully fix a situation. Ask yourself why do you feel so unappreciated. If you are doing everything you possibly can, then maybe there's something else you're searching for. Try discussing it to yourself and then to others.

Sometimes feeling unappreciated comes from our expectations of other people. It can be really upsetting when someone does not treat us how we want to be treated. If we do something around the house or accomplish something, shouldn't we receive some type of acknowledgement? The problem is not everyone feels this way, and we have to learn that, also, not everyone knows that we want those compliments. Communication is also very important in these circumstances. I can completely relate to these unappreciated feelings, but have come to realize that if I am proud of myself sometimes I do not need validation from others. While this can take a long time, it can be a really freeing feeling!

Being appreciated by the ones in our lives is so important. Sometimes when we do something for someone and they do not recognize or acknowledge what we did, it makes it feel as if they didn't even notice. However, sometimes we are expecting things to be noticed and appreciated and we should tell the person. For instance, sometimes when I clean up after my husband, I want him to say thank you. Most of the time he doesn't notice. That can be so very frustrating. So, I have learned that sometimes I just need to point out that I cleaned up his mess. I say it in a nice way, but also in a way so that he knows I need him to acknowledge that I did something for him.
