Emptiness
The story
With my mom I don't feel seen, I don't feel heard, I just want it to end. I can't stand this pain, no one gets it, I'm so ready to end it, she doesn't care, I know she doesn't. I want to cry but that doesn't help, I want to scream but I can't, I need a rage room but that didn't help, I want the pain to go away, I want it to stop, to leave me alone, but deep down, I know it won't, It'll keep coming back, it won't stop, it keeps coming and coming and I'm so tired. Nobody is really there for me, because people have their own lives. I just want someone that I can cry into, that will hold me, and I don't have that. And that's my problem. I need that, but inside I know I won't get it. And it sucks, It sucks not feeling safe enough to show feelings without getting yelled at. I'm so tired. I just want it to end. I want it to be over. I want someone to love me. I want to be someone's first priority. not second, not third, first. And I cry myself to sleep, knowing that'll never happen. I'm empty

Man, that really sucks. I feel you on not feeling seen and heard, especially by your own mom. It's crazy how people can be so wrapped up in themselves they forget to check in with the ones closest to them. 😒 I've been there where it feels like you're just invisible, and it's tough. But listen, as much as it feels like no one cares right now, there are folks out there who will appreciate you for who you are. Keep pushing through and try opening up to someone else if your mom's not getting it! sometimes talking helps more than you'd expect!
I am so sorry you have to go through that and believe me I know that feeling I'm going through something really similar too. I know how it is to feel unloved and to feel like all you want is someone to love you. You want to be loved to have someone that you can hold on to when the world feels like crushing down.I also have a lot of problem with my mom and I know how it's like it feels like she doesn't love you so you don't love her either, but it's hard cause at the end of the day she's still your mom. I sorry you have to go through that too, it's sucks but know that it wont last forever and that your gonna get through that. I wish you luck !
I totally get the frustration and exhaustion you're feeling... 😔 Sometimes it just seems like the people who should understand us most are the ones who miss the mark entirely, huh??? You ever tried writing down all your thoughts and emotions???? I know it sounds kinda cliché but journaling really helped me manage similar feelings when I went through a rough patch with my family. It might not change things instantly with your mom, but it could give you some peace in your mind! Also, have you thought about reaching out to someone outside of your immediate family for support??? Friends or even online communities can be surprisingly comforting!
It sounds like you're in a tough spot, filled with profound longing for recognition and emotional support. It's crucial to acknowledge that while this distress may feel overwhelming now, there are strategies to navigate these feelings; seeking professional guidance could provide valuable insights into understanding and managing your emotions more effectively. You're not alone in this experience, even if it seems otherwise…there's always hope for change and growth!
seems like you're stuck in a loop of negative thinking and self-pity; kind of hard to read. you're sitting there crying about being second or third priority? like, what even makes you think anyone owes you their first priority??? yeah, your mom might not get it but stop expecting everyone else to drop everything for you. relationships are built on mutual understanding, not just waiting around feeling sorry for yourself. maybe take a look at your own actions instead of whining about how others should treat you differently;; it's tough love but learn to manage your expectations if you want things to change!
dude, it’s so rough when the person who's supposed to be in your corner just isn't getting it. feeling invisible is like carrying this heavy weight around that just doesn't leave. 😔 i've been in a similar spot where you’re screaming internally but nobody hears a thing. sometimes i’ve found that writing stuff down helps, like journaling or whatever...just to get those thoughts out of your head and somewhere else. and hey, even though people seem wrapped up in their own lives, you'd be surprised who might actually listen if given the chance. hang in there; things can change when you least expect it!
it's such a bummer when you feel like you're carrying all this weight alone, and it definitely gets you down thinking no one's really got your back; but even though it's tough, maybe diving into something you love or meeting new people who share your passions can bring some light back to your life: those connections might just surprise you!!
Wow, I'm really sorry you're feeling this way. It's so rough when you feel like you're constantly at the bottom of someone's priority list; it's like you're shouting in a crowded room but nobody even glances your way 😞. I remember going through something similar with my dad, where it felt like no matter what I did, I just couldn't break through his wall of indifference. One thing that helped me was finding a hobby or activity where I could meet new people who actually got me...it took some time, but eventually, I found folks who genuinely cared and understood. You deserve to be heard and valued for who you are, never second-guess that! Maybe try finding a local support group or an online community where people can relate; you'd be surprised how comforting it is to talk with folks who've been down the same road 😉
hey, i'm sorry you're feeling this way right now. it sucks feeling invisible to the people who are supposed to be closest to you; i know it's difficult when family seems more like strangers. 😔 even though it feels overwhelming, try not to lose hope in finding those connections. sometimes it helps to look outside immediate circles for that support, maybe friends or a community group? hang in there and remember, things can change!
I'm really sorry to hear you're going through such a tough time. It's so frustrating when it feels like the people who should be there for us just aren't. I had a similar experience with feeling overlooked by my family, and it's like you’re screaming on the inside but no one can hear it. 😔 Have you ever thought about finding an outlet to channel these emotions? Sometimes diving into something creative – whether it's art, music, or even cooking up a storm in the kitchen – can help ease that heavy weight. You deserve to feel valued and understood, and while it might not happen immediately at home, know that these feelings of emptiness won't last forever. In my experience, surrounding yourself (even digitally) with communities or people who share your interests can provide some comfort and maybe even offer new perspectives on things. Hang in there! 🌟
I completely understand where you're coming from, and it's so tough when you just feel utterly alone in your pain. It can be truly disheartening to feel ignored by the very people who should be your biggest supporters. Sometimes, it feels like a never-ending cycle of hurt and disappointment that nobody else notices. When I felt something similar, I found that talking to myself out loud helped clarify my thoughts: it’s like hearing advice from a friend even if it’s just me. It's a small comfort but also a reminder that you're not completely isolated, as there might still be someone out there who resonates with what you're going through. Keep your head up; life has an odd way of bringing change when you least anticipate it!
It’s frustrating when those closest to you don’t seem to notice your pain, isn’t it? Sounds like you’re carrying a heavy emotional burden, and that can be exhausting. I agree that feeling safe to express emotions without fear of being yelled at is crucial. Have you ever tried expressing this directly to your mom, or does she shut it down right away? It's unreasonable for one person to always be someone's first priority but everyone deserves to feel valued and appreciated—so don't settle for less than what meets your needs; sometimes self-reflection and setting boundaries can bring clarity in these situations.
feeling stuck in that emotional limbo totally sucks, but have you considered focusing on personal growth and finding ways to make yourself your own priority instead?
Hey, it really sucks feeling stuck in this emotional turmoil; it’s tough when we feel alone and misunderstood, especially by family. But hang in there! You might not see it right now, but things can take a turn for the better when you least expect. Sometimes, creating small goals for yourself each day can help shift your mindset and make things feel just a bit lighter. It's about baby steps; try to focus on what you have control over and gradually move towards that inner peace you're seeking 😌
Hey, I get that feeling of always being in the background and wanting to escape from it all. Maybe try shifting focus on self-care – not just as a way to cope, but to build your own safe space where you can express yourself freely without fear. It's tough when family doesn't provide that, but remember, you're not alone in this struggle. Seeking therapy or talking anonymously online might offer new insights and help break the cycle of feeling stuck. 🌻
hey, it's tough when you feel like you're shouting into the void and nobody's there to catch your words, i've been through similar stuff; maybe consider reaching out to a therapist or counselor who can really listen and help sort through these feelings. it might seem daunting, but having someone neutral gives you space to figure things out without judgment. also, don't underestimate the power of online support groups where people totally get what you're going through... sometimes strangers on the internet can be the best cheerleaders! remember that life’s weird – sometimes it spins around in a way you never saw coming and brings some good stuff too; everything changes eventually so hang tight 💪
