Why do I feel so unappreciated?

Sometimes we feel so unappreciated and yet we never stop and ask ourselves if we even appreciate ourselves. Reflection is an important task in life, it helps us evaluate our behaviors towards ourselves and how we could be better individuals not only to those around us but to ourselves also. Stop for a minute and think, do I appreciate myself? Do I see the good in what I do each day? Do I give myself credit where credit is due? By learning to appreciate ourselves and what is around us, we attract more appreciation from those around us also.

Perhaps this question would be best addressed towards yourself. Consider why you feel this way. Perhaps ask the individuals that you feel don't appreciate you.

For many people feelings of being unappreciated is a cumulative of several other issues. For instance a depressed person doesn't believe their associates would honestly care about their feelings...so if appreciation is offered the depressed person doesn't believe it is sincere.

Here are four things that always help me when I feel this way: 1. Share your success with your friends! 2.Value your work, what you accomplished is good! 3. Work hard, the results are gratifying! 4. When someone appreciates your work, return it!

Sometimes, you feel that way because you are not around people who appreciate you and treat you the right way. So go and look for someone who cares about you! :)

We tends to feel unappreciated by others when we do not truly appreciate, accept and love all of ourselves. Or when unconsciously try to get our legit human needs of Security, Connection, Significance or Variety met through others, especially those with different values than ours. If how you feel about yourself is based on someone else's actions or non-actions, there is very little empowerment. It is a skill worth learning to own your feelings and manage them while still being open to receiving others' support and appreciation. Support and appreciate yourself first. xox

i guess the people around you just aren't showing you much appreciation. It's normal and everyone ends up feeling like this at one point, but you just need to remember that you are appreciated even if others just havent told you yet :)

Sometimes those around us take what we do to try and help them for granted, this may happen because they have become accustomed to it or simply forget to thank you. We can feel unappreciated when others fail to communicate verbally their gratitude. I remember as a child feeling resentment at being forced to write thank you letters after my birthday, I had already said thank you and smiled and made the appropriate 'appreciation gestures', yet it was not enough. Having physical reminders of appreciation such as cards can help to sustain a sense of being appreciated longer. I would question, how is it people in your life appreciate your efforts (does it seem like they have gone to a similar effort or not). Is what you are doing worthy of appreciation (it's a difficult question to ask yourself, but sometimes we get too caught up on the physical details, that we forget the human and emotional connection involved in giving). And are you willing to talk this through in a calm and controlled manner with those who you feel hurt you and make you feel unappreciated.

You may feel unappreciated because you may be feeling left out. You should talk to the people you feel unappreciated by.
