One of the worst feelings in the world can be when you feel neglected. This is even worse than someone not looking you because when you feel neglected, you feel that you are unworthy of love and that you are not worth other people’s time.

Feeling neglected will make you feel that you are alone, and it might even put you into a state of depression. When you love someone and they choose to neglect you, these kinds of feelings are normal.

People have been neglected in the past and this can be hard. This can happen when you have to deal with a broken relationship or other things.

Relationship Neglect

Neglect can happen in any kind of relationship and happens when people are together for a period of time. This is normal and people often use each other and do things to get what they want.

In a healthy relationship, you go out on dates and you have fun together but when this stop happening and you see that you no longer care to look nice for your partner or to talk to them, this can be dangerous and can lead to neglect.

There are things that you can do to help this not happen in your relationship and taking steps to avoid this is the best idea.

Addressing Feelings of Neglect

Take a moment to really look at your situation. What are you and your partner doing right now in the moment? Do you talk to each other and end up in fights because things are misunderstood? This can mean that you are not able to communicate in a healthy way and this is something that has to be talked about.

You must take steps in order to have good communication. One of the most important parts of being in a relationship is communication and if you don’t have this, you will end up in a place of anger, confusion and more.

Think about what you want to say and ask your partner to take time to talk to you. Let them know what you are feeling and that you feel neglected.

Healthy Communication

Communication can be healthy and sometimes we just have to work on this. You can do different things to make your communication better.

Positive Language

One of the first things to do is to change your language. Make sure that you are being positive no matter what you are talking about.

If you want to yell and scream and say mean things, do not do this and use positive words instead. This will be hard when the moment is heated but it will solve many problems.

Feelings

Take time to share your emotions. This is hard for many people but as you learn to do it, you will see that it will be easier as time goes on.

Men have a harder time sharing their feelings because they don’t want to feel weak. This can be an obstacle when you are trying to make things better, but you can practice this by telling your partner what you are feeling.

Let your partner take turns of listening and speaking and this can help you to understand each other better.

Really Listen

Communication cannot work if you choose to not listen and to only speak. You have to learn to really listen to what your partner is saying to you.

If the other person you are talking to isn’t listening, you will just say a few words and they will never be able to hear what you are saying.

Let them share their point of view and try to stay on one point instead of going different places.

Be Thankful

How much do you really love your partner and what do they do for you? Take time to write down a list of things that your partner does for you that you are thankful for. When you do this, you can show your partner that you appreciate them and that you are thankful for who they are.

Sometimes things might seem small but writing these things down can help your partner to see you appreciate them.

Think Things Over

Even if you are upset and you feel neglected, take time to think things over. See if they are putting in an effort to love you and to take care of you.

Are they neglecting your feelings? Be mindful of what is going on and see if you can learn to manage your actions and your emotions.

Different Perspective

Maybe your partner is not really meaning to neglect you and they have other issues that are causing them to act a certain way. Maybe they are experiencing financial problems, or they are not feeling good. Maybe they are struggling with some emotional problems of their own.

See if they have a work or a family problem that they are trying to deal with and look at things from their point of view.

They might not give you as much time as you want or show you the affection you are used to, but relationships are not always easy. There will always be good times and bad times and when people are struggling with personal issues, it can be harder for them to see what is going on with you and what you are feeling.

This might be a time that they need your love and support and that they need you there to help them through their problems. Figure out what is going on before you overthink things.

Letting Go

There can come a point in your relationship where you have to let it go because it is no longer working for you.

If you are the one that is putting in all of the effort and you are getting nowhere with your partner, it might be time to move on without them.

Sometimes it is better to go your own way and to find your own happiness.  Doing this can maybe even let you and your ex be friends and see what happens later.

Before you take big moves, make sure that you are addressing all of the problems and that you are seeing things from a different point of view.

Talk things over and see if you can bond with your partner or if the issues remain unresolved. You can always seek a counselor or a therapist if you feel that you need to find out other issues in your relationship.

Mental Health

If you feel neglected, do not let your mental health go. Talk to someone that can help you. Find someone that you can share your feelings with and that you can communicate with so that you can stay healthy and strong.

Everyone goes through hard times here and there and if you feel that you are being neglected, talk to your partner. Learn how to reconnect with each other and find out what you can do to make things work better. Sometimes it is simple communication that is needed and can open up a world of goodness in your life and your relationship.
