    What can I do if I'm caring to everyone around me, but my needs are always forgotten?
    Community Answer
    Maybe you should consider moving on from those relationships and finding new and more interested/caring people to surround yourself with. Some people are just not thoughtful or considerate people, as sad as it is. You could also limit how much of your time and effort you're willing to put toward those who can't return the favor.

    Move on from the past. That person hurt you, but that doesn't mean others will, and you'll be depriving yourself of some great experiences if you try to avoid caring for people altogether.
