Tired of being unnoticed

No matter how loudly I try speaking, everyone here always speaks over me and don't acknowledge me. I feel like I have to say something in order to be acknowledged. It makes me wonder why I'm even here, I mean no one ever notices me unless I say something FIRST. I just feel alone and not cared for

Hi ashley, where is "here?" Is it at your house that you're being mistreated?

What you're describing is abuse. Talking over you, not acknowledging your presence. They're cruel. I'm sorry that's happening.

Is this something new?

It's my house yes sorry. And nothing new ..been happening for many years since I was a child unfortunately

Practically having to beg to be noticed, while they notice everyone else just fine without them having to say ANYTHING

My eyes and face just burn wanting to cry but I can't because I'm around family (ones who treat me this way) and I can't tell them because they'll be horrible to me

It sounds like they're being horrible to you without you telling them. You have a voice you deserve to use. Give yourself the respect they won't.

I had enough and voiced my opinion and how I felt last night. I ended up snapping. But I was heard out ..it really sucks it takes me to finally snap to be heard... But I'm sure they were just trying to shut me up. They said they don't mean to talk over me I just talk quiet. Yes I may speak softly and quietly, unless pissed 😂, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't notice when I'm TRYING to say something or acknowledge my presence

I just wrote a post that includes a video you might enjoy. I'm trying to learn to have a voice, as you are, and this spoke to me.

I'm so tired of fighting to be seen and heard 💔. I'm so mentally drained

I'm so sorry you're in this situation. It's definitely not fair and sounds abusive.You deserve to be heard and understood, and also to feel validated.

I know what it feels like, and you've come to the right place. You can have the support you need here.

I hear you ♥️
