Lol

Anyone else feel like no one in their life cares about their feelings or our down moments but made to feel like we are a fucking burden.. strangers on the Internet seem to have more co passion and care. The ones you wsnt to care just don't and make you feel WORSE.

Show your support

Yep. A lot of people are not equipped with natural empathy and it isn't something that is being taught well at school. Our society has a terrible attitude to mental health, attaching stigma and taboo all over and in particular men are brought up to be "tough" and out of connection with their feelings which is why they often shut down when confronted with someone who is hurting. They themselves might be avoidantly attached to you so they may actually care a lot but are completely unable to show it or give you the love and support you need and deserve. So sorry you're feeling unheard. My partner finds it hard to be supportive sometimes too. I've had more success when bluntly giving instructions like I need you to hug me and hold me. I want you to hug me. Don't fall into the trap of them feeling offended that they could be the blame of your hurt via their unsupportive behaviour. Try to explain you're only trying to ask for the support you need and you aren't blaming.

@Alex wow Thank-you đź‘Ś

Yes! Seemed to have support when I was pregnant but now it’s just like I don’t matter. Everyone wants to see baby and how’s baby doing but couldn’t care less about me or how I am.

I feel this so deep.

Honestly and even when it comes from your own family too, like what is wrong with people these days, I literally care about everyone, their emotions, their needs and wants. But me....haha I don't even matter tbh.
