@kiaabrera: It’s a very human sentiment to go through when you feel that hint of disappointment when you pour your heart to something or someone only to be met with indifference or silence. There’s a concept called The Reciprocity Gap: the space between our natural human need for acknowledgment and the reality that not everyone operates with the same communication style or emotional awareness. I’m not talking about keeping score, but about feeling seen for your efforts. When you don’t feel seen, your brain doesn’t think “they’re ungrateful”—it thinks “did I matter?” But listen. It’s completely normal to want acknowledgment. It doesn’t make you needy or demanding. It makes you human. Your need for recognition isn’t too much. It’s evidence that you care deeply.

Whew… I feel so called out—lol—but it’s true. Sometimes we have these unspoken expectations, hoping others will value our efforts, but they treat it like a transaction. The hard truth? You’ll never be fully appreciated in the wrong place.

I love your explanation in the caption as well. My question though, when you've answered that question for yourself, what do you do then?

no regrets on caring too much. that's my act of service. at some point, you'll get the sweet spot. it's trial and error.
