Thank you, Agora. I just feel like I don’t have a place anywhere.

Lostlittlegirl, you sound young. Not feeling like we fit in anywhere has to do with our self esteem and confidence that we are worthy to be loved and liked. Different people have different ways of showing affection. It has nothing to do with who you are or what you are like. No matter what age, we all need that reassurance that we are accepted in society by our family as well as our friends. As much as it would be comforting to feel that hug or the words I love you from your mother, she may show it in other ways.

I remember when I was young, I had a friend whose family showed affection between mom and siblings with hugs and kisses... My family didn't. Looking back I remember my grandmother being less affectionate as well. It could be a cultural thing but nevertheless has nothing to do with not being loved by your mother.

Do you have any siblings? Have you ever talked with your mother about feeling so sad and lonely and needing to know you are loved by her? You are not the only one who feels this way and by sharing more with the forum you may get the comfort and understanding you need. You are never alone. There is always someone in the group who can understand your emotional pain because they too are experiencing it as well.

Lostlittlegirl, you have found a place of support and comfort you can come to anytime you need a hug. We all care. Sending you a big, warm virtual hug. xx
