SuicideFuel Searching for the love I never received as a child

[Lazyandtalentless]

I hate how needy I am. I’m always chasing the compassion I never got as a child, and it feels like I’ll never be satisfied. I was neglected growing up, left alone when I needed care, and I never felt loved. Now, as an adult, I’m still stuck in that same cycle, desperately craving validation that never fills the emptiness inside me. Why can’t I just be enough for myself? Why does it still hurt so much?

As Sub5s we will never be loved

Brutal.

That's another reason why I drink so much. It temporarily makes me forget about all of the love that I've never had.

Truth.

When I was a kid, I learned that people don’t care, and it’s a lesson that’s never left me. Even now, I can’t escape the feeling of being abandoned, like I don’t matter. I walk through life feeling invisible, constantly searching for something—anything—that will make me feel seen, but it’s like I’m chasing after something that’s always just out of reach. No matter how hard I try, I still feel like I’m not enough, like no one will ever truly care.

No love for my height

I once read that you mentally get stuck at the age where you received the least amount of love in your life.

I can’t escape the feeling of being abandoned, like I don’t matter.

That hits the pain center of the brain.

I know that feeling. It's going to be that way for many years to come.
