Finding Fulfilment and Purpose: How to Live a Meaningful Life When You Feel Overlooked

 The Feeling of being alone and overlooked by others can be a difficult experience to endure. Whether it's in your personal or professional life, feeling like you're not receiving the attention and recognition you deserve can be discouraging. But in those moments, it's important to remember that there are life lessons to be learned, and ways to cultivate a fulfilling life even when no one is giving you the attention you crave. Here are some life lessons to consider:

1. Focus on Your Values: When You feel like nobody is paying attention, instead of seeking external validation, spend some time thinking about what's most important to you. And ask these questions:
• What do you value most in life?
• What kind of person do you want to be? When you have a clear idea of your values, it's easier to stay motivated and focused. By prioritizing what you truly value, you'll find a sense of purpose that will help guide you in your daily life. This can help in being self-motivated.
2. Create Your Own Meaning: Quite often we rely on outside validation or recognition as a means of feeling fulfilled. When we don't get validation, it can be easy to feel like a failure. However, you can create your own meaning in life. It might involve pursuing a passion like photography, writing fiction, or playing an instrument, or dedicating yourself to cause or belief.
   
   
   
3. Cultivate Relationship: While it's true that you don't necessarily need validation from others people to live a meaningful life, that doesn't mean you should avoid human contact all together. Often when we feel overlooked, it's because we're not connecting with others in an authentic way. Engage in your friendships, practice kindness, and engage in a conversation that goes beyond small-talk.
4. Focus on Gradual Progress: It can be tough to stay motivated when you feel like you're not making any real progress, but it is essential. Instead of obsessing over the end goal focus on small steps, and acknowledge the progress you're making incrementally. By breaking your goals into smaller objectives, it will give you a sense of accomplishment as you achieve each milestone. 
   
   
   
5. Practice Gratitude: It can be easy to get caught up in negative thinking when you feel like nobody is paying attention. It's essential to shift your focus by thinking about all of the things in your life that you're grateful for. It could be acknowledging the kindness someone has shown you, a peaceful walk you took recently, or just thinking how crucial it is to have a roof over your head. 
6. Take Care of Yourself: Last but not least, it's essential to take care of yourself, both physically and mentally. Engage in physical exercise, eat nutritious food, and sleep for extensive periods. Take the initiative of doing things that make you happy like watching your favorite movie, going out for walk, or baking  a cake. It will create a sense of self-care that can help you become more resilient when things are tough.
