Love is something we should all have in our lives. But are you feeling unloved? We all do sometimes, but it shouldn’t be a permanent feeling.
There are many reasons why a person may be feeling unloved, and it’s not always because someone forgot to show them love. Loving someone is a two-way street, which means that being unloved is not just one person’s fault.
When you talk about love, it is a feeling that is expressed and acknowledged. For that to happen, someone has to express it, and someone has to receive it.
In terms of feeling unloved, most people will assume that it’s because no one is giving them love.
Sometimes that’s true, while other times it isn’t. On occasions like this, it’s safe to say that you may be feeling unloved because you’re not seeing the love around you. [Read: Are you incapable of love? 21 signs and reasons for emotional deprivation disorder]
How people show love
Before you decide that you are truly unloved, let’s first look at how people show love. Maybe you’ll see that someone really does love you, but you were just a little sidetracked because of the conflict you’ve been feeling within yourself.
If you truly believe that none of the ways people show love applies to you, then there’s always a way to change that, and we’re here to help. [Read: What does love feel like? 33 signs you’ll feel when you experience love in your life]
1. When they do the little things
The little things, when put in perspective, can turn out to be really huge gestures of love. [Read: The different ways people say “I love you” without saying a word]
When someone prepares your food or gives you the other half of a sandwich, it can be their way of showing you they appreciate and love you. It’s easy to overlook these small gestures as acts of love, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t.
2. When they give you a little bit or more of their time
Time is actually a very valuable commodity. So when you don’t get much of it, it will leave you feeling unloved.
You may think that anyone can give more than enough time, but setting some aside just for you is already a big deal. Appreciate it and learn how to accept that sometimes love is giving anything that you can aside from affection. [Read: Sabotaging your happiness – ways you could be ruining your own life]
3. When they listen
When a person listens to you, it means that they are interested in what you have to say.
No matter what it is, that sort of attention is important, because when no one listens, your cries for help will never be heard. An open mind and a shoulder to cry on are ways someone subtly shows they love and care for you. [Read: How to get over feeling unwanted and start feeling desirable again]
4. When they try to help
Some think that people who are trying to help can make things worse – like the ones who tell you to look at the bright side and see the silver lining.
Although some don’t understand what exactly it is you’re going through, their willingness to help is evidence enough that they are showing love – unless they’re not really listening.
5. When they’re present or try their best to be available when you need them the most
Being there for you is already an act done out of love. They could be somewhere else, but something is drawing them back to you, especially when they feel that you need saving.
Regardless of what it is that pushes people to be there for you, they are there out of love. being present or trying to make the time to be there for you goes back to how much they care about you. [Read: What to do if you’ve been single too long and want to find true love]
The five love languages
According to psychologist Dr. Gary Chapman, there are five love languages. In other words, certain people have different ways of giving and receiving love.
He even wrote a book about it, The Five Love Languages. Check it out because it will give you a lot of insights.
In the meantime, we’ve provided you with definitions and examples of the five languages of love: [Read: The raw psychological effects of being ignored by someone you love]
1. Words of affirmation
People who have words of affirmation as their love language express their love through actual language.
When someone gives love through words, they say “I love you” and compliment the person they love a lot. Some people give love that way, and others want to receive it that way. And some people want both.
2. Acts of service
When someone sends or receives love through acts of service, they are going out of their way to do nice things for you. [Read: Unconditional love – what it is, isn’t, 37 signs you’ve felt it and steps to find it]
For example, cooking you a nice meal, changing the oil in your car, or rubbing your feet are things someone might use to show they love you.
3. Giving of gifts
Some people love giving and receiving gifts as an act of love. It could be something simple like getting flowers, or something big like a new car. Regardless, they demonstrate their love for someone else by giving them gifts. [Read: A lack of affection in a relationship – is it time to walk away?]
4. Touch
Touch is another way people give and receive love. Someone who has touch as their love language feels and shows love through physical touch.
This can be anything from hand holding, hugging, cuddling, back rubs, or just simply making physical contact with the person they love.
5. Quality time
The last love language is spending quality time with the people you love. That could be in person, on the phone, over text, or another way. No distractions, just the two of them in each other’s company. [Read: What is true love? 58 signs and ways to tell if what you’re feeling is real]
What it means to feel unlovable
Feeling unlovable simply means that they don’t think that they are good enough for other people to love them.
They might feel like they have really bad qualities that no one likes or loves. For example, they might think they are ugly, fat, mean, or have any other undesirable characteristics. This doesn’t mean they actually are any of these things.
But if someone just has the perception that they are any of these negative things, then it doesn’t matter if they’re true or untrue. [Read: Why do I hate myself so much? Self-hate and what you can do about it]
That’s because perception is reality. In other words, what you believe to be true, is true for you – whether it is objectively true or false.
Some people might also feel unlovable because of the mistakes they have made in their life. They think that if anyone knows what they have done then they won’t be able to love them. Because of this, they might push people away or engage in self-sabotaging behavior.
Why we get down on ourselves
Everybody feels like this at some point in their lives, everybody.
Even if you seem like the perfect person with a perfect life, you will be hard on yourself at some point in your life because it’s only natural. Experiencing the lows in life, as well as the highs, is what makes us human. [Read: Signs of low self-esteem and ways to increase it]
We get down on ourselves and feel unlovable for a lot of reasons. We may have just gone through a breakup, our self-esteem has dwindled, or it may even be because someone else told us we were unlovable.
The mind games and the internal conversations we have
By allowing yourself to be overwhelmed by insecurity, you self-sabotage your romantic future with someone who could love you. And by believing you are unlovable, you establish a self-fulfilling prophecy.[Read: How to build self-confidence – 16 ways to realize you’re worth it]
Becoming defeated by the past only drags down your future. It is easy to do. Accepting that you’ll always be lonely or in pain can be easier than continuing to fight for what you deserve.
So when the pain of rejection turns into a pattern, it’s natural to question yourself.
Because your last few dates didn’t work out, are you unlovable? Because you’ve been single for a while, are you unlovable? And because it never seems to work out for you, are you unlovable? The answer is, of course not.
But, then why does it feel like that?
By belittling your worth, you close yourself off from being loved. This self-sabotaging behavior convinces you that you are undeserving of love which pushes people away.
And we don’t only feel pain from rejection, but it leads to insecurity in ourselves and our decision-making.
Why do I feel unlovable?
It is simple to round up all the shortcomings you’ve ever had and ignore your positive attributes. It is human nature. We always second-guess ourselves. We are our own worst critics.
But it doesn’t have to be like this. The first step to overcoming the feeling of being unloved is to understand why you feel this way.
So, what are some of the most common reasons that people might feel unlovable? Here are some big ones.
1. Interpretation
The feeling of being unlovable might just be in your own interpretation of your experiences. [Read: How to feel beautiful even on your darkest, most insecure days]
You’re interpreting situations, people, and memories through a lens that confirms your belief that you are inadequate. Even though there is nothing wrong with you, you overgeneralize or inaccurately interpret everything around you as being negative.
2. Insecurities
Everyone has their own insecurities. These stem from having something about yourself that you don’t like. You could be insecure about your weight, your nose, your personality, or your intelligence.
It could be literally anything about you. But if you have a large number of insecurities, then this will probably lead you to feel unlovable. [Read: What is insecurity? 20 signs you feel it and ways to stop feeling insecure in life]
3. Low self-esteem
When someone has a lot of insecurities, it leads them to have low self-esteem. They don’t love themselves, so they don’t know how anyone else can love them.
You see, feeling lovable comes from loving yourself first. You have to love yourself before you seek anyone else to love you.
4. Trauma
Everyone experiences trauma differently, some more than others. And if that trauma is held onto, it’s easy for someone to let it determine their worth. But the truth is, your trauma does not determine your worth. [Read: Emotional abuse – what it is and 39 signs this relationship is breaking you]
5. Mental illness
People who suffer from mental illness often have maladaptive views of themselves, other people, and even the whole world. They feel unworthy and inadequate, and they overgeneralize their negative experiences.
They also can have a sense of hopelessness which clouds their ability to think clearly. Even though they are mentally ill, that doesn’t make them unlovable. [Read: Ways volunteer work can help heal depression]
6. Abandonment issues
People with abandonment issues may struggle to see themselves as lovable because they were abandoned by someone they cared for in the past. They might think they aren’t capable of being valued or cherished – when this is far from true.
This causes them to overthink how other people see them, and they can be clingy in relationships and feel lonely even when they’re with other people.
7. Selective attention
Selective attention means only paying attention to information that passes through a certain filter that someone has.
So, people who think that they are flawed and unworthy of being loved only pay attention to the experiences that confirm this belief. [Read: What do guys like about girls? 30 things men love and absolutely hate]
8. Selective memory
Similar to selective attention, people who have a lot of insecurities and low self-esteem hold on to specific memories and play them over and over in their heads.
A person might have made some mistakes in the past that they just can’t let go of or forgive themselves for. Because of that, they carry these memories with them and let them affect their overall self-worth. [Read: How to hone and increase your positive emotions in a negative world]
Am I really unlovable?
Although rejection hurts and confuses, it is crucial to remember another cliché: everything happens for a reason. If it didn’t work with someone, it wasn’t meant to be.
Do you really want to be with someone who doesn’t like you or wants to be with you? Not everyone is meant to be. [Read: 20 practical things to consider before giving up on love]
Not every date will lead to another. Some people just aren’t meant to be, and those flops shouldn’t define your future in relationships. Not everyone was put on earth to be compatible!
Just because you have had some bad luck does not mean you are unlovable. We all have our faults and quirks that some people can’t stand. But when you find the person who loves you, they will love all of you.
An unsuccessful relationship does not mean you are unlovable. You simply haven’t found the right person to love you. [Read: Life-changing truths you need to remember when you feel unlovable]
Plus, does it really make sense to let the opinion of a few defeats outweigh the potential you have? Here’s the perfect moment for another cliché: there are plenty of fish in the sea.
You’re bound to find someone who can prove to you that you’re not just likable, but even better, lovable.
Questions to ask yourself about feeling unloved
To know if you really are unloved, let’s look at why you would think that in the first place. Before anything else, ask yourself these questions so you can see where this feeling of loss is coming from. [Read: 25 honest, self-reflection questions to recognize the real YOU inside]
1. Do you feel unloved by a specific person?
This is an important question to ask yourself. Exactly who is making you feel unloved? Is it one person or a lot of people?
It could be a crush who doesn’t like you back, a date who didn’t follow up, a family member, or a friend. Or it could be all of them.
If it’s just one person, then that’s easier to fix. For example, if it’s just your crush that isn’t returning your affection, then who cares? It’s just one person. Just because they don’t feel that way doesn’t make you unlovable.
But if you’re feeling that way from a lot of different people, then you will have to do some more internal work to figure out why you feel that way. [Read: Akoiromantic – when you want to love but don’t like being loved in return]
2. Or, do you feel that absolutely no one loves you?
Do you feel like you have no one at all? If that’s true, you need to ask yourself if it’s just a passing feeling or if it is true. [Read: How not to feel lonely – 30 ways to chase the lonely blues away]
Sometimes, our emotions get the best of us and it clouds our ability to think rationally. Just because you feel like no one loves you, that doesn’t make it true.
So, it could be that people actually do love you, but you aren’t seeing it. Or that you don’t have the same love language. If your love languages aren’t compatible, or you’re overlooking their acts of love, then it’s easy to fall into the mindset of being unlovable.
3. Do you feel unloved because you’re being ignored?
Maybe you’re trying to get your friends to hang out with you or you’re trying to get the attention of your parents.
Regardless of why you feel ignored, you have to remember that people are busy, insensitive, or distracted. In other words, it’s not all about you.
Sometimes we have demands for other people’s attention that they just can’t give us. Maybe you want to text your friends 24/7, but they can’t keep up with you. That doesn’t mean they don’t love you, it just means they don’t have the same needs for communication as you do.
Take a deep breath, step back a few feet, and consider your situation from their point of view to see if you’re being reasonable. [Read: 23 raw psychological effects of being ignored by someone you love]
4. Or, do you feel unloved because the people around you don’t understand you?
Misunderstandings happen for many reasons. It could be that you are going through a tough time and you’re having trouble explaining what you’re going through.
If you feel like the people in your life don’t understand you, then you have to ask yourself… Are they trying?
If they are trying, maybe you are just not explaining yourself well enough. Sometimes, we expect people to be mind readers and just automatically know what we are thinking and feeling.
But guess what? No one is a mind reader, so you will need to express your feelings very clearly for them to understand you. [Read: Why does nobody love me? See the love surrounding you]
5. Do you feel unloved because you think you’re unlovable?
No one has perfect self-esteem. However, some people’s self-esteem is just in the dumps. Is that you? If so, you should really examine your insecurities and self-doubt.
What about you makes you think that you are unlovable? Usually, it’s something silly.
For example, if you think you’re overweight, and that’s what makes you unlovable, you need to realize that what someone’s body looks like has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not people love them.
It’s what’s on the inside that counts. [Read: How to love yourself – the 23 best ways to find self-love and happiness from within]
6. Are you feeling unloved because you don’t see that you are worthy of love?
Sometimes, we just fail to see that love still exists all around us. And if that’s true for you, then you just have to open your eyes to see it.
If you said yes to questions 1, 3, and 5, the problem is with you. If you said yes to questions 2, 4, or 6, it may be time to talk to someone about it – meaning your partner, your family, or even your friends. [Read: Insecurity in a relationship – 34 signs and secrets to feel secure and love better]
Feeling unloved because you’re not getting the attention you expect to receive is normal, but not something that you should take to heart. Some people don’t understand why they feel that way, but they do know that it’s because they’re not getting the love they think they deserve.
Feeling unloved because you see the world as a place without love, on the other hand, is more serious.
If someone thinks that there’s no hope of finding love where they stand, it could lead to dire consequences, both physically and emotionally. [Read: Is your negative thinking subconsciously ruining your life?]
Consequences of feeling unlovable
Feeling unlovable is a horrible way to live. And for a lot of people who feel this way, it’s a life-long struggle that has a lot of negative consequences.
1. Excessive fear
When someone feels loved by other people, it makes them feel safe and secure. [Read: Autophobia – what it is, 25 signs, causes, and how to calm the fear of being alone]
But if someone doesn’t feel lovable, then they might develop a lot of fears. These fears can be about anything from fearing the judgment of other people to fearing that the world is a dangerous place.
2. Emotionally unstable
Because people who feel unloved often develop a lot of fears, it can lead to them being emotionally unstable. They might feel a lot of anxiety daily and become depressed. They will probably also become needy and clingy.
3. Feels like you’re invisible
If someone thinks that they are unlovable, then they think that people don’t even pay attention to them at all because they’re not worthy.
So, it can make them feel invisible to other people because they don’t feel like anyone cares to get to know them. [Read: Love yourself first – where people go wrong, 36 whys, and how to do this right]
4. People-pleasing behaviors
A person who feels unloved will probably become a people-pleaser too. That’s because they don’t know when someone is manipulating or taking advantage of them. They also think that they need to earn someone’s love, so they’ll do anything to make others happy.
5. Difficulty setting healthy boundaries
We all have the need to be loved and accepted, but someone who feels unlovable might feel incapable of setting healthy boundaries.
This is because they think they need to sacrifice their own needs to make connections with other people. They don’t realize that they deserve to be treated well by the people they care about. [Read: How to set boundaries in a relationship – 39 rules for healthy love]
Things to remember when you feel like you’re unlovable
No matter the reason you’re feeling down on yourself, you can’t stay thinking that way for long. Having this mindset for a long time can really take a toll on your life and bring down other aspects of it as well.
If you start feeling like you’re unlovable, there are really important things that you have to remember.
These can help bring you out of that funk and realize that you’re just as – if not more – lovable than anyone else. [Read: 55 secrets and self-love habits to build confidence and realize your worth]
1. Your mind is in a negative place and that’s all
It’s important to remember that when you’re feeling unlovable, it’s not because you’ve done anything wrong or bad. This happens because you’re stuck in a negative mindset and you have to get out of it.
Having a negative mindset will bring all good things in your life down to a negative level.
Meaning if you’re feeling a little insecure, being too negative about it will make you feel unlovable. Don’t let your mind trick you.
2. Focusing on the positives can help
Instead of dwelling on all of the negative aspects of your life, bring some positivity into it! Only focus on the positive outcomes that may arise from situations, and avoid letting your mind dip into negativity.
By keeping a positive mind, you’ll remove the negative fog that is making you believe that you’re unlovable. Always look for the good and never feed into your bad thoughts. [Read: How to master self-talk and banish negativity]
3. Nobody important in your life thinks you’re unlovable
Ask your parents, siblings, cousins, friends, or even your significant other. All of them clearly love you, meaning you’re loveable.
Nobody important in your life thinks that you’re unlovable, and that’s a really important thing to remember when you’re feeling down. If they don’t think you are, then neither should you. If you need their reassurance, don’t be afraid to ask for it.
4. Negative things other people say don’t matter
Negativity is everywhere. People feed off others’ negativity, and they try to make you feel bad so they can feel better.
There’s no doubt that negativity from others can lower our self-esteem. But that’s just someone else’s opinion and it really shouldn’t matter. None of those people saying harmful things about you matter at all in your life.
Just forget about them and you’ll remember how lovable you really are. [Read: How to ignore people who ruin a perfectly good day]
5. Being busy doing something you love can make it better
When we get into a negative mindset and start to think that we’re unlovable, we kind of give up on doing the things that make us happy. Our hobbies get left alone and we suffer from boredom.
Just remember that when you start feeling this way, you should always do things that make you feel happy and things that you love doing. Cutting yourself off of the things you love will only foster more harmful feelings.
6. There are more things good about you than bad
People seem to forget this the most when they start to feel unlovable, but it’s the most important thing to remember. You are more good than you are bad.
Sure, you may have a few qualities that are less than great, but you have even more that are absolutely amazing.
Don’t dwell on all the bad things when there are so many good things about you to think about. All of your good qualities are what make you lovable! [Read: How to date when you have low self-esteem and find true happiness]
7. Comparing yourself to others is NEVER a good thing to do
Sometimes, you may start to feel unloved when you compare yourself to other people. You’re not as pretty, not as smart, not as whatever it is they are that you want to be.
What you always have to remember is that you can’t compare yourself to someone else because you’re not them. Everyone is different and everyone has different qualities that make them unique. People in your life love you for YOU, not for someone you want to be.
8. Accepting who you are as a person will make a huge difference
Perhaps feeling unlovable is coming from a place of not being happy with who you are. This can bring you into a negative headspace because you think you need to improve.
While everyone can improve themselves to be a better person, accepting who you are in the moment will help you realize that you are loveable.
Loving yourself is the first step to relieving the feeling of being unlovable. [Read: Life questions to help you visualize a much better future immediately]
9. Surround yourself with people who love you
There are plenty of them. You just have to seek them out and then keep them around all the time.
Keeping people around you who love you will help you see that yes, you are lovable – and there’s proof of it. Don’t be alone, and don’t be around people who put you down.
10. List off the things that YOU love about yourself every day
Wake up in the morning, look in the mirror, and make a list of all the reasons you love yourself. By stating affirmations and listing your positive qualities, you will start to see just how valued and loveable you really are.
11. Yes, you are lovable
This is a vital thing to remember. No matter how you’re feeling, who is putting you down, or what you did, you ARE lovable.
Everybody is lovable no matter what their situation is. Remembering this fact will help you get through those dark days of feeling unlovable. [Read: 35 funny things to tell yourself to build your self-esteem]
What to do when you feel unlovable
If you feel that no one loves you, or if you can’t resolve yourself to appreciate the people who do, you need to do something about it very soon.
It may seem like a shallow complaint to some, but feeling unloved is quite serious, especially if it manifests as something that can damage you emotionally. [Read: How your self-respect affects you and the relationships in your life]
So, here’s what you can do to nip it in the bud.
1. Start doing things for yourself
Stop doing things to make people love you. Do it because you want to give love away. After that, it’s only a matter of time before it comes back tenfold.
2. Eat well, exercise, and meditate
Focus on doing things that make you healthy. Your mind and body are connected, therefore both aspects of your life need attention. When you take care of your body, you are taking care of your mind, and vice versa. [Read: Happy things you need for a perfectly happy life]
3. Give without expecting anything in return
When you start to give without asking for anything back, you will see a huge change in how you feel. You’ll become happier and more in tune with yourself. You will finally see how being unloved pales in comparison to being the bearer of love.
4. Show appreciation
Value the little things that come your way, whether it’s a smile from a stranger or a helping hand at the grocery store. People do good things all the time.
Finding little things to appreciate will help you naturally appreciate the greater things in life, like yourself. [Read: How to be grateful – 20 authentic ways to appreciate and express it]
5. Do not aim to hurt at any cost
The more you hurt people, the less love you will receive. That contributes a lot to why people feel unloved.
They don’t realize that while they’re demanding love, they’re also keeping others from the happiness that those people deserve. [Read: 18 insightful reasons why you don’t have any friends]
6. Do not beg, demand, or coerce to be loved – ask
Forcefully taking love is never an option. When you do, you’re pushing people to love you. That’s not how it works at all. Love is freely given and should not be seized for the taking.
7. Do not look for love in the wrong places or from the wrong people
One of the biggest reasons why people don’t find love is because they keep pushing for a love that’s not there.
It could be with abusive partners, estranged family members, or even friends who have moved on. Know your worth and only seek out love from people who value you. [Read: Why you should never make someone a priority when you’re only an option to them]
8. Look at those who love you unconditionally
There are other ways to find love, and it’s not just with the people close to you. Many people show love without needing a reason. You just have to open yourself up to them.
9. Do not reject those who love you
Stop pushing people away. Feeling unloved makes us feel despair, which then blinds us to those who are willing to show us love.
Just stop for a minute and really look at the people who are there for you.
10. Look for people who are spreading love
If you haven’t found love yet, you can still go look for it where it exists. That alone is enough of a motivation to keep yourself open to the possibilities.
Look at a happy couple, a kid playing with his dog, or a Pride parade. Love is all around. Remember that. [Read: Loneliness in a relationship – reasons you feel it and ways to fix it]
11. Try journaling
Taking a pen to paper is a great way to get your thoughts and emotions down. When they are all stuck in your head, they can overwhelm you.
But when you write them down, you can look at them objectively and see where your line of thinking is wrong. You can more easily see how you actually are lovable.
12. Set boundaries
As we mentioned earlier, people who don’t think they are lovable tend to become people pleasers. They do this because they think that they have to earn other people’s love. [Read: How to say no – 15 ways to reason politely, stop pleasing, and feel kickass]
But if you don’t have healthy personal boundaries, people might take advantage of you. Then you become a doormat, and you feel unlovable again. It’s a vicious cycle.
Why you are lovable
It is hard to realize that you are lovable after you’ve felt unlovable for so long. You can’t accept that you are lovable when you find someone to love you. You must know it on your own.
The fact is, we are all lovable. Being lovable doesn’t mean everyone loves you. It doesn’t mean you are popular or even likable. Being lovable means you are deserving of love.
No matter how many heartbreaks or rejections you have endured, you deserve love. No matter how beaten down you are or how broken you feel, you deserve love. Even if you have cheated or hurt someone else, you still deserve love. [Read: We accept the love we think we deserve – Why don’t you think you’re worthy?]
Struggle and sadness come from rejection, but there’s also the chance for growth. If you can take each bad date as an opportunity to improve yourself and channel any negative feelings into focus on self-validation, you turn your confidence around.
This probably isn’t what you want to hear, but remember there isn’t just one type of love. You don’t need to be in love to feel love.
If you have family that supports you, friends that cheer you up, or even a pet who jumps up to greet you when you get home, you are loved. [Read: 20 riddles of love we all experience and the complexities of love]
If you were still asking, “am I lovable?” just look at all those around you. You already are loved. You just need to be reminded of it every now and again.
