I feel like nobody loves me. My mom left us when I was 4 and my dad remarried some years ago. I hardly speak to my step mom, she is rude. My parents are fonder of my other siblings and concentrate more on their activities. I feel completely neglected. I have even tried to kill myself, I feel terribly alone...

hi don't be so sad. we come to this earth for some purposes. It is sad taht you have lost ur mom and ur stepmom is not good. But we all feel alone at some time in life. do in what you have interest and try to spend time with children and books.

Don't ever try to kill yourself. you know the best thing that you could do is to love yourself...because nobody will love you if you dont love yourself... enjoy life coz life is good.

There are many who feel like that..that is a bit alone in the line of family..I too feel that way..but I know I have lots of friends..And what I lack in family, I have well made up in friends.. Focus more on your friends, then on your family..I have found that thinking of how my family uses me..it makes me cry. For most with the exception of two ..they don't talk to me.. The ones who don't talk to me...usually find my number or email when there is money needed..That is about how much I am worth..for my family. My friends, though, they are the best.. I know with them there is nothing superficial about their care for me.

Dear, please do not feel so disheartened and disappointed. I feel, the first thing is that you need to motivate yourself. In the circumstances which you have narrated, it is better to go for self-motivation and self-elivation (I know it is easier said than done, yet you need to try). Think that you are not alone in this world. You need to cultivate friendship with like minded people (may be of your own gender...). For getting love...you should remember, you need to love yourself and you need to shower love on others. Help others (including your friends and relatives) in their hour of need, without asking for return. Be humble and polite. You would require lots and lots of patience to make someone dear to you...it will take some time...but if you succeed...you can feel the difference. Remember...yours is not a bad condition....think...there are others in this world who may be in worse condition than yours. Cheer up yourself...I feel you have the guts to rise and you can succeed. Best of Luck to you!

I think we all feel alone at times, I have this feeling a lot now that I have no family, I have to rely on friends and some of them seem to have let me down but one must just go on, you must get out and meet new people, join some sort of club, even a walking club or anything to just get you out there amongst people...but just remember you are special, you really are, there is a lot of alone people they just have to find each other..

MY friend, sometimes we are not really alone, we just feel alone, which is different but doesn't make much of a difference in the way we're feeling. You surely have many things in your life that don't help to make you feel better, but maybe it is possible that being here and making new friends, discussing ideas and opinions.... that might give you some positive feelings. Maybe while you're feeling a bit better you should start planning positive things that you can do for yourself. I know it feels better knowing that the ones that we are close to care for us the way we need or would like to, but we can always start by being our best friend to start :) By loving ourselves and find the things that we enjoy and make us feel good. Meanwhile you can always come here when you're feeling down, talk to us, you know we talk back:) and better yet, we're always here. But don't confine yourself with online friends,if you can find people that make you feel good, smile, enjoy life. I know that nothing can replace our family and the things that happen to us within our family can scar us for a long, long time, even after we think we are over it. But having friends is a great step towards starting to feel better and less alone. ANd when we feel like that we can face everything else.

I am so sorry to hear that. Please be strong. One day you will meet someone who loves you and cares about you. And you will have a happy family. Don't let the past bother you.

Im sorry you feel alone, i know how that feels. Maybe you could call your dad up and try to spend some one on one time with him. It might make you feel better. A lot of people dont like their step parents so im sure your not along on this one.

Learning to love yourself...that is the greatest love of all. I guess, you should not despair. YOu have already gotten this far and I know you can still continue to pursue your dreams. Nevermind what your parents do you, just make sure you do something good for yourself that will make everyone notice and be proud of you. I know you're not the only one in the entire world who is in the same situation... you can seek the company of your good friends and even your teachers or the people whom you look up to for proper guidance. Don't waste your talent and life - put it to good use. :)

In mordern society,people always feel alone because we prevent our reality to the person we meet.We live in a cabe and our hearts can not be benefit from others.We usually don't know the name of our neiqhour's name,Even we not familiar with him. But on the contrast,you have many friends online.If you have the feeling of alone,you can online and talk with your friends.It's also a good method which I often take to avioding the sense

If the picture of the young lady using a laptop is you, that is not a picture of lonliness NOR a lady unloved ! However, if the real you is hiding behind some facade, let us see you and let us feel you and we at myLot may give you some of the strongest and fulfilling friendships you have ever realized . . . just come forward and let us see ! Step moms are a challenge but not impossible to get close to. I have two and if I ever need either, I can count on them. Not like mom, but not in some negative fashion in which communication is sometimes and visitation is rare. Reach out and just be her friend, despite the rudeness. She did marry your dad so that means something . . . sharing the light and happy holidays, Miss Erica Hidvegi, the Enlightenment_Advisor, B.A. Psych/M.A. Transpersonal Studies- Cnslng/Author, Artist, Photographer, Entrepreneur & Freelance extraordinaire

I will never want to kill myself... Your life not only belongs to you, but your parents, your friends, your lover... And many things I haven't done yet, how can I do such thing? Sometimes I feel terribly alone, but I'll never feel like nobody loves me, at least your mom. Everyone feel neglected sometimes, you're not the only one. Just be positive, do other things you're interesting in...things will go well...

My first question is why is your stepmom rude? Is there a reason the family reacts to you the way the do? How is your attitude around them? Do you speak pleasantly? Smile? Try to change what is inside of you, learn to like yourself and I believe a change in you will bring about a change in them.
