feeling unappreciated

when a Leo is feeling unappreciated its like the worst feeling for us. I feel like we try hard for people to like us and we want our friends and family to always be happy, we are so loving to them, but what about us?
Are my expectations for people too high because i would go that far for them?
should i lower my expectations ?

What actions do you take when you feel unappreciated?

Normally some alcohol and good music helps. Changing up my style a bit helps. Doing fun things on my own that don't require validation helps. But most of all learning how to appreciate myself without the help of others is key.

i'm cancer and i think eveyone feels bad when they are unappreciated,makes you feel read sad,if you feel unappreciated by closest people idk how about you,but i feel like trash,when they don't show me that they appreciate me i just get distant,or cut people out completely,if they will miss me they will tell me or call me,you are fire and i'm water but it's what i do,why would i be around people who dont value me,dont appreciate me and dont want me,i like a good quote:once you learn to be happy you wont tolarate being around people who make you feel anything less. try talk to them and express how you feel,thats what i would do first before i leave,they might just have rough times or something,you never know,everyone is having a battle you know nothing about 🙂

i have been feeling wayyy more loving and attentive lately and as this feeling gets stronger ive noticed its kind of drifting me away from "friends" who are not as attentive. Im not sure if i should start cutting people out or not

You don't have to cut them out... just wait for them to

come to you.

They will-- it's likely they're accustomed to your reaching

out, so they don't.

At least that's been my experience.

i appreciate everyones advice 😄

I can always tell when my babe is feeling a bit neglected in the attention department. He gets quiet and kinda sulky. Sometimes when I'm off work or stressed, I get distant and push everyone away. He always does everything in his power to be there for me even if he feels shitty himself. His efforts are incredible. Actually, I have never had a guy be so attentive and caring to me and my feelings before. When I start to feel distant and he's quieter, I seriously pause for a bit, reflect on all the absolutely wonderful things he always does for me... And I "you know what... I love that you... And... It's the best when you... You're so good at...." You should see the shift in his energy. Ear to ear smiles, brighter, bounces around like a wee lion puppy cub cutie lmao. God, I love him.

haha you guys are cute

I try to control feeling under appreciated or mistreated by distancing myself from people as a whole. I tend to over extend myself and make sure others feel comfortable to my detriment, so I am very careful who I let in my life. I am reluctant to creating new relationships in an form. As for family and existing friends I keep a safe distance monitoring how much of myself I extend to people. I find that I am always questioning if I'm being too hard on myself or hard on others, but keeping myself somewhat isolated lets me remain at peace. This is not the best coarse of action for most Leos because a lot of us(Leos) crave attention but for me, I'd rather be left alone and not bothered.

Sorry, but your post made me tear up 😄 He is soooo lucky to have you kiddo, we love to be appreciated in that sense.
I'd say when I feel unappreciated I do the same thing a lot of you have already said. I cut the person off that I feel doesn't appreciate me... or in a sense I just avoid being around them until I feel appreciated by them again. I feel just like @rakac ! Why would I want to be around a person who I didn't feel appreciated by, that would just suck, and so usually I get away from those people.

Also a lot of well bottled Mexican Coca-Cola helps. I don't drink, but Coca-Cola is to me as Alcohol is to an Alcoholic.
When I feel unappreciated I find that spending a night treating myself to something nice, like a nice dinner out on the town helps alot.
