Q: “I feel like I give so much to everyone else, but no one notices. How do I feel appreciated?”
Franca’s Answer:
Giving is admirable, but your value isn’t dependent on recognition. People often assume constant givers don’t need support.
Start by expressing your needs honestly. Communicate boundaries kindly but firmly. Appreciation often grows when people see what you value and respect it.
Self-worth comes from honoring yourself first. Others will notice when you stop silently carrying everything.
