Alex's Answer

Hey there, welcome to Ask Alex,

 

You are feeling that you are being ignored and that everyone hates you.

 

It sounds like you’re going through a tough time, and it’s completely okay to feel the way you do. Firstly, we want you to know that you’re not alone, and reaching out for support is a brave step. It’s natural for teenagers to experience moments of feeling ignored or unliked, but it doesn’t define your worth.

 

Remember, there are people who care about you, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now. You might want to consider talking to a friend, family member, or someone you trust about what you’re going through. Sharing your feelings can often bring relief and help build stronger connections.

 

If you’re comfortable, try expressing your concerns to those around you. People may not be aware of how you’re feeling, and opening up can lead to more understanding. Additionally, consider engaging in activities that you enjoy and that bring you a sense of belonging. It could be a hobby, joining clubs, or participating in community events.

 

Remember, adolescence can be challenging, but it’s also a time for growth and self-discovery. Surround yourself with positive influences, and don’t hesitate to look for professional support if needed. You’re valued, and your feelings matter.
