Answers: or how others actually feel towards them?
It's a vicious cycle. The more you feel unloved, the more you feel unlovable, the more you're unloved,...
I'm the black sheep of my family and have felt ostracized for years. I'm also very introverted and have no friends, although I'm not unfriendly.
When my wife died, no one, no family member, neighbor, or work colleague, attended her grave site service (I couldn't afford a funeral). No neighbor even sent a card, or said a word of condolances.
Can you imagine how that felt?
If they are holding the people in their family in a different category from other people they wish would care about them too, then it becomes easier to feel unloved. Everyone needs someone who is more than just who will cook soup for you if you ask or draw you a picture coz they want to impress you. :D Not saying family is ONLY those two things, coz they're so much more, but some people don't relate well to family except in certain situations and wish others would, who could, if they'd get over themselves. When you put too much thought into what makes you unloveable, that's where it goes from. It's all...maladaptive thinking, I guess....
I think when someone feels unloved it sometimes is a reflection of how they feel about themselve, you have to love yourself before you can love another.
It's usually how you feel about yourself.
