I am always important and always will be

#newdaynewchapter is a Blog narrative started on March 1, 2021 co-founded by Kishore Shintre & Sonia Bedi, to write a new chapter everyday for making "Life" and not just making a "living"
A teacher needs to give importance to each and everyone in her/his care. A parent with several kids needs to do likewise. A person with many employees however does not give equal attention or importance on a daily basis as they all have their paid roles, and equal attention is not possible.
But why are you paying equal attention or attaching equal importance to everyone around you? Who are you to them? A caregiver? Are you trying to be nice to everyone? You will end up pleasing no one, and offending all. There must be reciprocated appreciation or thank yous from people around you to cue you on relations. You're not sunlight shining on all. You're a human who has needs and they are appreciation, feedback, approval and disapproval.
I've met some who are like you. They get cold shoulders from some because they don't want the attention or relation. Others seek to take disadvantage. Look for genuine people who acknowledge you as a friend, and give you importance too. Don't try and be nice to everyone because believe me many won't notice the importance you give them, and your psychic self notices the lack of warmth and gives you feedback not to give more than the usual civil courtesies to the ignoring party, and you will do well to give heed.
I think that it could be because others may not be reciprocating the same love or gesture towards you. At some point in life, most of us must have felt this. Gosh, I have felt it several times. The only time when this thought doesn't cross my mind is when I am occupied with some work or project.
However, please don't think that there's something wrong with you. It's just that others don't have a big heart like yours and given the uniqueness of our individual experiences, I think that it's completely okay. Maybe you're yet to come across people who appreciate you and realize your worth.
And until then, please continue with your good deeds and spread happiness because just imagine how dull life would become if good people stop doing their good deeds just because not -so- good- people don't acknowledge the good people. But you may not believe at first what I'm gonna say but it's true and can try it after reading this practically on your life. So, what i want to say is “other's treat you the same way as you treat yourself”. Yes ,you heard me.
Moreover, if you give importance to others rather than yourself, they will do the same. They will give less importance to you than themselves. So, what i want to conclude is, you have your own life to care about and they have theirs, worry about yours and see yourself how they start treating you. This is because of human nature of taking people for granted when they are Permanent in your life.
But not everyone will take you for granted, people who'll fear losing you will never undermine your presence around them and will love to have you around, like your parents or best friends. But when you start making yourself available for people too much, you start becoming less valuable. So you got the key right, be in demand, never make yourself too much available for anyone except for the people who are fond of you. Cheers!
