Feeling Unloved? 3 Wonderful Ways to Become Your Own Source of Love
If you’re solely counting on others to make you feel loved and appreciated, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment.
Of course it's wonderful to be affirmed by those close to you. However, if others are your primary means of feeling loved, you may find yourself feeling sad, angry, frustrated, and probably lonely.
I used to struggle quite a bit with feeling unloved and unworthy.
Unconsciously, I reached for others to try to fill the emptiness I was feeling within and it usually set me up to feel disappointed or hurt. It took me a while, but I finally learned that I had to learn how to love myself first in order to fill up that inner void…

One Positive Action
Give Your Feelings Somewhere to Land
Sometimes emotions build up quietly until they start weighing you down. You might not even notice it at first but you feel tense, distracted, or tired. Often, what makes it harder isn't the feeling itself but keeping it all inside.
How often do you actually let yourself feel what you're feeling? Most of us don't. We're too busy, or we think our feelings are inconvenient, or we're worried that if we start acknowledging them, they'll take over, so we shove them down and keep moving. Those feelings don't just disappear, though.
Taking a moment to get those feelings out can bring more relief than you expect. Write down one emotion that's been sitting with you lately, just name it and let it exist on paper. You don't have to fix it, but you do have to acknowledge it. Putting your feelings into words takes them out of your head and gives them shape. Once they're written down, they lose some of their intensity, and you can breathe a little easier. Sometimes that's all it takes to start feeling lighter.
Take five minutes today to write down one emotion that's been weighing on you. Be honest, even if it feels small or uncomfortable. You don't need to solve it. Just give it a place to land and let that be enough for today.
