sometimes, i just feel so neglected by the people i love. but someone recently told me that the way you show someone care is by caring them, not saying you care about them. it really opened my eyes because im a shut-in in a relationship... does anyone have advice for a motivation to keep going?

No one will know that you love them if you don't show them, I guess. I sorta have the same problem. It feels stupid, honestly, the fact that the people that I love are neglecting me and excluding me in my opinion—just like your situation. But is it really neglect? Or is it miscommunication? Try to have a talk with your loved ones, and don't feel embarrassed. If they are truly worth your affection, then everything will turn out alright. :)

Well personally, my motivation is often seeing all I can in the world, living the sensations of life like relief and jubilation, as well as (now this is really personal) giving the best life possible to a child I may have in the future. I want to give them the best life possible and that is my motivation for working hard.
