Expecting people's concern.. and it didn't come! / myLot

Okay So sometimes we do feel that we are yearning for a person's concern for us. most of the time it can be a family member or a loved one or a friend... After we did raise our concern or issue and hoping for them to sympatize or to be concerned.. they sort of shut you down! Have you ever been in this situation? When a person shuts you down with their reaction/concern for you? How did you feel, or have you also somehow expected it to happen?

hi there grace, do not be too hard on yourself. I hope you feel that well, even if some people are not very concerned about us, there are still some who are very concered and who care for us, okay? =) always smile and it will make you feel better.

I haven't been in that kind of situation, but I think that is a very sad situation and I pray that it never happen to me. I try to worry for those who worry about me and love and care to those who love me and are about me,I wish the best to everybody but I am not the kind of person that would be asking for love or attention to anybody who is not interested about me.

Hi there Rosa... Wow i am glad you have never felt disappointed with people's ability in showing their concern for you - you must really be surrounded by people who truly loves you, and you are one lucky person. :D I would say that sometimes i have felt this - and well even from my mom. i would tell her i do not feel well and i would head straight to bed. I would just notice that she would come and even ask me if it was true, as if doubting me that i feel sick. instead of being concerned i feel that how can she even think of it that way?!
