Feeling Unwanted and Unloved? What to Remember When Nobody Cares

Feeling like nobody cares is the most painful, lonely belief a person can have - and it's the most common! Every human, no matter how loved or happy they seem on the outside, sometimes believes nobody cares. Some of us hide and bury our feelings because of embarrassment or shame. Others hold on to the fact that this, too, shall pass.

When you feel unloved and unwanted, remember that your feelings are normal, even healthy. You’re seeking something deeper that this world – and people – can’t give you. You may be facing existential angst, that deep feeling of loneliness and abandonment. It’s like you want to go home but you can’t. Or, you’re already at home and you still feel like nobody cares about you. You’re longing for home but it’s not a home on this earth.

Asking “Can I absolutely know for sure that no one cares about me?” and really thinking about the answer will change how you feel. You are allowing yourself to believe a lie. The truth is that you were created with a longing in your heart, a yearning for deep connection and love. The feeling that something is missing and nobody cares is a simply part of being a healthy human being. Everyone feels this way at some point; some people just handle it better than others.

The good news about feeling lost, unwanted and alone is that you are in touch with your true self. You’re awake to how you really think and feel. You’re not ignoring, denying or pretending your feelings don’t exist. You’re not hiding behind walls. You’re allowing yourself to be alive.

And being alive hurts sometimes.

What to Remember When You Feel Like No One Cares

Since I was a kid I got used to being alone. I don't want to be around anyone anymore. Tired of people acting like they have to tolerate me.

[yukisuperstylish]

I tried to convince myself by saying that for 10 years now but it's wasn't true I'm always on my one. Trying to find one person who cares brought more pain than ever

Believe me, no one is thinking of me. I’m 60 years old, live by myself and have no friends. My parents are deceased . You mean well, but no everyone can drum up people who might be wondering how they are.

I live alone but with lots of animal companions. 15 cats, 3 dogs, 2 rabbits and a Guinea pig. I adore them and I know they love and need me. Taking care of them, gives my life purpose.

6 years alone, no income, no one helping me, I work hard day and night, I network, I do everything right, and I only fall deeper into hell.

[miniaxe]

I matter more than i know?
I absolutely can clarify this as a lie. No one truely cares about what i want to do or why i feel this way. Not my friends, family, the people i wanted to be with but cant...no one. Its why im sick of being single, why im sick of watching this world rip itself apart, why nothing can even make me happy to the point i dont even know how to love anymore. Not even jesus can save me from this life until i leave this world behind and i cant wait for that moment. Im sick of it all

Today I was searching for some words about "how could I be happy as a childless woman" and suddenly read a lot about it in your blogs. Thank you very much for your kindness, support, and good pieces of advice, Laurie! God Bless you!

I like how you reframed the negative into a positive. I definitely struggle with the feeling of “not feeling wanted” its been there since i was a child starting with my siblings saying.. i was a mistake.. I know this has caused my anxious attachment and I am dedicated to resolving this now more then ever. So thank you for your insight and tips I’m going to do my best to reframe my negative into positive and ask myself.. “is it really the case … “

I have people in my life... but they only want to use me. I am estranged from my entire family. I am an empath, the scapegoat and my family consists of mainly narcissists and those that blindly support the narc. I found that I married into a family that was just like my family of origin and I surrounded myself with people just like my family. Today I am considered dangerous because I see through the abuse and I won't keep quiet about it. The only people in my life currently are not capable of feeling love. So no, I do not have anyone in my life that truly cares for me. And I'm tired of being shamed for it.

Actually the truth- people are not thinking about you, they are thinking about themselves and probably feeling the same way late at night and some don’t think at all. :) love the points in this video though. So far it’s the one that’s helped me get through some intrusive thoughts. Thank you! My first comment seems negative but it’s not meant to be.

[happyrose]

[deannalynnfiedler]

Thank you for posting this. As someone who knows the reality of truly being alone and not being able to come up with one person, what you said it hard to hear... but I have lived it as true.

[courtoiscathy]

to walk with you was wonderful and thank you for the video, I loved to walk and listenng to you in full nature. God bless you

I am more bothered by the fact that nobody cares about me so much / deeply as I do for others. For example; I met someone online, we click together and that person starts to matter so much to me. And when something bad happens to this person, it also makes me feel bad. Like, I start to care deeply about this person. But even despite of us "clicking" together, the other person never care so deeply about me. Not even sure If they slightly care... Even when we spend whole day talking and sharing stuff - its not like in my mind that we are close.... I just keep meeting people who either don't care so much overall about others. They don't attach to other people while I attach quickly. I don't understand how someone can be social butterfly, claiming he loves people and talking with people, helping people but he has no deeper care about people.

My mom and dad and aunt and coworker (1) truly show they care for me. I do compare myself to someone I associate with. She gets all the gifts during our birthday at our job while everyone forgot about mine lol. She got 50 dollar gift card 100 dollars from the boss, flowers, a purse, a cup cards. She also got a 3 doller raise. This person started working here about 4 months ago after I trained her. Ive been here for a year. The one coworker I love got be a card and I treasure our relationship even if she didnt get me anything. I also still have the same pay as when I started. I just feel forgotten. There not rude and I always feel guilty for being envious. But I work hard too. I always wonder what Im doing wrong especially when the new employee also just got a raise. Idk im just struggling and feel terrible about the outcomes of everything

Thank you for being you and for knowing what I need and many others need. God bless you and keep you and yours safe. Until next video,

1 has to learn to love their own company as it gives inner strength.

Actually there are a couple of people but they are far away and I can’t talk to or see them often. I have no family or friends in this small town I had to move to to get disabled housing. I’m so lonely. It’s awful. And I’m dealing with pain and health stuff 24/7. I love God. But no, there’s no one here. And everyone I do know I’m 7 years out from and the two are busy.
