It’s easy to feel uncared for when people aren’t able to communicate and connect with you in the way you need. And it’s so hard not to internalize that silence as a reflection on your worth . But the truth is that the way other people operate is not about you . Most people are so caught up in their own responsibilities , struggles and anxiety that the thought of asking someone else how they’re doing doesn’t even cross their mind .They aren’t inherently bad or uncaring - they’re just busy and self-focused . And that’s okay . It’s not evidence of some fundamental failing on your part . It doesn’t make you unloveable or invisible . It just means that those people aren’t very good at looking beyond theor own world . But the fact that you are - that despite the darkness you feel , you have the ability to share your love and light with others - is a strength . Your work isnt’t to change who you are : it’s to find people who are able to give you connection you need. Because despite what you feel , you are not too much . You are not too sensitive or too needy . You are thoughtful and empathetic . You are compassionate and kind . And with or without anyone’s acknowledgement or affection , you are enough ,
