I hear you, and I understand that it can be really difficult to not feel loved by your parents. It is natural to want to feel loved and accepted by those closest to us, especially our parents. It can be particularly painful when we feel that they are not providing us with the love and support that we crave.
From a Buddhist perspective, we can understand that all beings are interconnected and that our parents are just as human as we are. They may be struggling with their own pain and difficulties, and their inability to show love may not be a reflection of your worthiness or value as a person. It can be helpful to practice compassion and understanding towards them, even if their actions are hurtful.
From a psychological perspective, it may be helpful to explore these feelings with a therapist or counselor. They can offer a safe and supportive space to process these emotions and work through any underlying issues. It may also be helpful to build a support system of friends or chosen family who can provide the love and support that you need.
In terms of coaching advice, I would suggest focusing on self-love and self-compassion. Practice treating yourself with the same kindness and understanding that you would offer to a friend. Engage in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment, and prioritize self-care. Remember that your worth as a person is not determined by the love and acceptance of others.
