If you want to feel more appreciated by others then don't do these subtle habits

1. Constantly seeking validation

One of the most common habits that can make us feel underappreciated is the constant need for validation

When we constantly seek approval from others, it places our self-worth in their hands. This not only gives them power over our self-esteem but also can lead to a cycle of feeling undervalued

The key here is to find a balance. It’s perfectly fine to want recognition for your achievements. However, it’s important to remember that your worth isn’t determined by other people’s opinions

2. Avoiding confrontation

If you’re someone who tends to avoid confrontation at all costs, you might find yourself feeling underappreciated. This is because avoiding difficult conversations can often lead to your needs and opinions being overlooked

It’s important to understand that healthy confrontation is a part of life. It’s a way to express your feelings, set boundaries, and make sure your voice is heard

Avoiding confrontation might seem like the easy way out in the short term. But in the long run, it can lead to resentment and a feeling of not being valued

3. Neglecting your own needs

This is because when we constantly neglect our own needs, we’re essentially sending a message to others that our needs aren’t important

This habit can be particularly prevalent among people-pleasers. They tend to go out of their way to meet the needs and expectations of others, often at the expense of their own well-being and 

By saying no when you need to, and prioritizing self-care, you’re not only showing respect for yourself but also teaching others how to treat you. And guess what? This can lead to a greater feeling of appreciation from those around you

4. Over apologizing

Over-apologizing can diminish your self-esteem and make others perceive you as less confident. It puts you in a submissive position and can lead others to take you for granted

So, next time you’re about to apologize out of habit, pause for a moment. Ask yourself if you’re truly at fault. If not, resist the urge to utter that automatic I’m sorry

5. Neglecting to appreciate others

Perhaps the most crucial habit to break if you want to feel more appreciated is neglecting to appreciate others

Showing gratitude and appreciation for others not only makes them feel valued but also sets a precedent for how you wish to be treated

By regularly expressing your appreciation for the people around you, you’re more likely to cultivate a culture of mutual respect and appreciation 

So, make it a habit to recognize and acknowledge the value that others bring into your life. After all, appreciation is a two-way street

Be now and Be here 

Be yourself and Be happiness
