Why doesn't anybody else seem to be struggling as much as I am? And why can't they see how much I need some help?

People seem to be interested in their own life. the ones that really feel hurt are the ones that pay attention to others. There are people out there that feel the same way as you. Take me for example, im hurting and no one seems to care. But believe me i care about the people that are hurting. Especially people like you. My job is to help anyone who is feeling hurt or just need someone to talk to!

Sometimes pain and difficulties can feel like an incredibly isolating experience. We can feel as if no-one understands what we are going through and this exaggerated thinking can trigger us slipping down into a pain spiral where we feel trapped and isolated and overwhelmed by the weight of our specific circumstances.
However the truth about isolating circumstances is that most people are on a rather challenging journey in life and because cultures do not encourage the communication of deeply personal problems we forget that most of us are fighting some type of deeply difficult solo battle specific to ourselves alone.

we all carry our burdens differently! Some of us hold them in while others are apt to speak openly about them. No one can really say what another is experiencing in life unless they have walked a mile in their shoes.Not everyone wears their feelings on their shoulders and not everyone knows the signs of a person needing help. Sometimes in order to get what we need and want we must be brave and reach out for help by talking to friends,family members, and whoever else is available and letting them know how you feel. 7cupsoftea is a great place to start!!!

maybe you are self projecting your self-negativity onto others so much so that they begin to think the same thing as yourself. negativity feeds negativity.

Everyone has different struggles. Just because they don't seem to be struggling doesn't mean they aren't. They might just be good at hiding it or maybe they don't let their struggles bother them enough for them to be noticeable. No one knows how much another person really is struggling. They might not be able to see your struggles for the same reason you can't see theirs. Or, if you need some help, there's no shame in asking for it. Chances are, people will be glad you went to them for help, knowing how much you trust them. If you don't want to go to them, there are others who are willing to help you any time, like on this website. Feel free to reach out whenever you feel the need to and know that you will be okay in time.

Other people won't know that you are struggling if you truly don't talk to them about it. If someone sees how much you struggle, they may not say about it because they are either too shy or don't want to interfere your life. Others do struggle a lot, they just don't show it :)

Sometimes it's hard for others to pick up on the fact that you might be going through a hard time. (especially if they've never had any experience with mental struggles) It might seem obvious to you, but it might not come so easily to them. It's a hard choice to make, but opening up to others around you can really make a big difference when it comes to having support. It was certainly hard for me to tell the people around me what kind of place I was in, but it turned out to be a great decision since they were completely unaware of what I was going through.

At times it can feel like you are the only one who is struggling. This is usually not true, almost everyone struggles at some point in time. Some people are really good at hiding it since they think that asking for help is a sign of weakness. This is not true, it is always okay to ask for help.
They might not be able to see how much you are struggling and need help because they are either too wrapped up in their world or you are good at hiding. Sometimes you have to ask for help instead of waiting for someone to see that you are struggling and come and help you.
