  • Question
    I started cutting myself, and I want to know how to stop and appreciate myself instead of destroying myself.
    Community Answer
    It would be a good idea to talk to someone about this, first of all. I know it's not easy, and it might even feel embarrassing, but this might be too much for you to handle on your own. Talking it over with a counselor, therapist, etc. can really help. You can also make a list of your best qualities and read it/add to it every day. This will help you focus on the positive instead of the negative. Remember that you have value, you're incredibly important to your friends and family, and that you deserve to be happy.

    Does he love me when he sometimes doesn't reply to me?
    Community Answer
    Maybe, maybe not. There's no way to determine that with such a small amount of information. How does he treat you in general? Does he tell you he loves you and act like he really cares about you? Try talking to him about the way you're feeling. Tell him it bothers you when he doesn't reply to your messages. If he does love you, he'll be willing to put in the effort to show you that.

    My girlfriend and I were meant to go on a date, but she stayed home and gamed instead. I don't feel loved...does she love me?
    Community Answer
    Assuming it was just a one time thing, it probably doesn't mean anything. Maybe she just didn't feel like going out. However, if this happens repeatedly, it would be a good idea to let her know that this upsets you and you're feeling unappreciated and insecure about the relationship.
  • Question
    Can you get love back from someone you hurt but that you really care about?
    Community Answer
    Possibly. By apologizing and correcting your behavior, you can tell that person that you are sorry and care and respect them enough to try to fix things. But this may take time. And you must be prepared if it doesn't work. But trying to make amends will help them and you in the long run.
  • Question
    I try my hardest for everyone, and I'm still treated horribly. What can I do?
    Community Answer
    Stop trying hard for everyone else and put that effort into doing things for you! Once the people who are taking advantage of your good nature realize that you're no longer a one-way source of time/energy/money/attention, they'll seek elsewhere, clearing the path for those who will reciprocate your efforts.

  • Question
    What do I do if a friend of mine doesn't feel loved?
    Community Answer
    One of the most important things is to remind them that they are loved and that you care about them and are there for them. Make sure that they know you love them, especially if they feel like others don't. Spend time with them. Tell them what you love about them (their sense of humor, their style, their kindness, etc.). Also, try asking them if there's anything you can do to help them feel better and let them know that you're there for them. If you notice that they seem to be getting worse or they're struggling a lot, seek help.
