What to do?

[Sun_flower16]

I constantly feel alone. Like nobody cares about me. I know people say they “care” and that they “love” me, but ultimately at the end of the day I feel like it’s all a act. I feel they they put up a front to not hurt my feelings.

I had this exact same thought almost all day, and it lasted for days, and it ate away at me for a while until I truly understood that people aren’t just putting up an act, especially if they are people you think should be trusted. Best advice is to just ignore that thought and you will he surprised of the results

I'm sorry Sunflower. I feel like this a lot too. If you ever want to talk I'll listen! Overall I'd like to think people care, if maybe not as much as I'd like them to, or maybe I just don't know how to see it. Our anxieties can make things seem worse than they are.

I just always feel like not everyone feels the way I feel like not everyone loves the way I do is how I feel so if they express it not the same way I do I take it as they don’t

I definitely get that. And when you're already feeling down it's hard to see it any other way. Hopefully when you're feeling a bit better, you can try to look closer and see some of the things maybe you didn't notice at first.

Example: my husband is not the greatest gift giver, which has been an issue for me. However, he often brings me a glass of water unprompted because he knows I don't hydrate enough. I didn't even notice this at first but now I see it is his way of showing he cares.

Okay I see what your saying not just something tangible but a action in a sense
