Nerdfighteria cares. I'm sure you have people in your life who care about and love you, even if they don't know how to express it.

A lot of people, including me, don't tell their loved ones that they care for them and love them just because we expect them to know that already, but I know it's nice to hear it from time to time. 

I don't know you personally but you seem to be going trough a bad faze in your life, but you need to know, no matter how cheesy it sounds, it does get better. One day, if you stay strong, you will feel better about yourself and you will realize that people, no matter how neutral towards you they might seem, really do care. 

If you need someone to talk to, a friend, please let me know. I am here for you.

Thanks for caring enough to respond,

Why would things magically change one day?

They won't change in one day, every change takes time, but one day you will realize that the toughest times are gone. Life is a constant fight and there will be good times and bad. You need to focus on good things. Do stuff that makes you happy. I've read on your profile that you like to make music. You can use that talent to help yourself feet better(I know I feel better when I'm writing) and to make friends. 

Talk to your parents, guardians, siblings or friends about how you feel. They might not even notice that you feel unappreciated or alone. You need to tell them. Don't be ashamed to ask for help if you need it. Please don't do anything to yourself. I've been worrying about you a lot today. 

I find that expressing myself with my music helped for a while, but I have no one to share it with so it's lost its luster.


I can't talk to my parents, it's a long story but I don't speak with my father, and my mother (I really hate to say this) is a bit old to really talk to (I mean like late 60s, I'm their youngest). I don't have the type of relationship with my sisters that I could talk open emotionally with them.

I'm afraid of telling my friends because I'll seem needy, and no one likes to be around needy people.

We all feel unwanted from time to time. I'm sorry to hear about your dad, but I'm sure your mother and your sisters love you and care about you deeply, even if they don't say it out loud. They might be older then you, but they were your age at one point and they know how you feel.

If you're afraid that your fiends will think you'll needy (and, if they are truly your friends, they shouldn't), go and hang out with them. Do stuff you like, have fun. You'll feel better, for sure. Hang out with your mom and sister too. 

I'm an 18 year old who is still in her pyjama bottoms even thought it's 5 in the afternoon so I'm not the best person to give advice but I know what I like to do when I'm down and feel unappreciated. 

Virtual bear hugs!  Sorry.  That's about the best I can do.  Also, it does get better, eventually.  Promise.
