Underappreciation: We've All Been There

Being treated poorly or unfairly, giving without receiving anything in return, feeling victimized by the people we love the most—we've all been there.

But if you are feeling underappreciated more often than not, it is time to put your foot down and learn to truly value your life and contributions to society. Learn to be caring in a healthy way, recognize detrimental behavior, and set some ground rules.

How to Appreciate Yourself and Be Appreciated by Others

Practice Generosity (in Moderation)

Identify Selfishness

Set Boundaries

From my experience, I have learned that people will only treat you poorly if you allow them to. But to get the appreciation you deserve, you must learn to appreciate yourself first. So let's get started!

Practice Generosity (in Moderation)

A generous person might be inclined to give someone everything they have, but the gesture can mean very little to the wrong recipient. A one-way flow of energy like that is very detrimental to a generous person's health.

Are You TOO Generous?

A generous person is usually underappreciated and taken for granted. It is not that giving is a "bad thing" (far from it), but giving when you receive very little in return is unfair to you. If you are allowing another to take advantage of your niceness, it can lead to a feeling of hopelessness and support the false belief that you don’t deserve respect.

Consider the following to help determine if you might be too generous:

You find yourself putting the needs of others before your own.

If you are not able to “give” the way you would like to, you find yourself apologizing excessively.

It’s possible you might be giving because you want to feel admired, loved, or desired.

You see yourself as the "provider" in almost every relationship.

You feel guilty when someone gives something to you.

You are uncomfortable at the thought of asking for something.

Don't Neglect Yourself!

Someone who is too generous gives, and gives, and gives, even if it means neglecting themselves. Remember, you have to take care of yourself before you can take care of others.

If you are being too generous, it is important to recognize your unhealthy habits. If you continue down this path, it will leave you in a situation that is emotionally draining.

Once you have recognized this, it is time to put your foot down. You might feel guilty for saying "no." You may even find yourself feeling as if you are letting others down. But you must put yourself above all others, and only practice generosity if it is a positive experience for all.
