We all feel that it is normal to have a loving, caring family. When we come to realize that our own family is not like this, it can hurt deeply. People in your family who are ignoring you, are likely ignoring each other and not just you. Rather than try to get love from them when they should know well enough to be giving it, try to grow in your ability to form relationships and start getting to know other people besides your family. It is an art to get along with people and making friends is not easy. But don't waste time trying to get love from a family that is not "equipped" for it. Develop a "new you" who can make friends with others. Join things, volunteer, be friendly to people at work or school. In short, get attention from people other than your family but not negative attention. Normal attention from other people. Such as that which you get in normal kinds of friendships.

Ignore them back. That's what I did. When I needed them most, they were not there for me. I left. Now I ignore them completely. My brother-in-law has cancer now, and they're heartbroken with me. But.....if they'd just apologize, admit they were wrong, and change their ways, I'd be back in the picture tomorrow. Problem is....I learned too much dignity out there on my own to be a bootlicker now.
As long as you stay there licking boots, they have no reason to change the way they do business.

Been there, done that. If the family ignores you just keep on praying. One by one they will come around. Just keep loving them and encourage them often. Send them little notes via snail mail---telling them you love them and think of them often. Send them little gifs on the internet (if they have access.) Just don't stop making a difference in their lives. Remember, no one can make you feel inferior without your permission. You are going to do fine. Just keep remembering to thank God for every chance you have to be a "silent" witness to them.

Spend more time with your friends. Why are you ignored by your family?

Behave very poorly in an effort to get their attention.
Just kidding. If they ignore you, don't worry about them. When you are off doing your thing and having fun, they will inevitably come around. If not, no loss. If it makes you feel like the bigger person, you can continue to make an effort, too. That way no one can accuse you of ignoring them.

Story of my life... i was ignored by my family, well i still 'em. It really sucks sometimes, but then if you were getting attention then you'd be telling them to leave you alone. i just went on with my life, taking care of myself. Whatever you do, don't do anything crazy to get they're attention...cause it usually jst gets you in trouble and makes the situation worse.

fortitudinousskeptic, thats not dignity! Dignity is being able to swallow your pride and do whats right. Being able to forgive especially when someone else was wrong. Not rubbing it in their face that you were right.
Chances are, your family loves you but dont know how to relate to you. Maybe you are at fault in some way, maybe they are. Maybe neither of you are at fault, but just dont KNOW how to relate- it happens.
Love them more, maybe they think you ignore them! How far out of your way do you go for them? Be honest- could you do more? Even if you try and fail, we can always try harder in one way or another.

I would just get on with your own life without them. You have come from your family but you are not them, you are yourself so be proud of who you are and don't let them affect you negatively.

well, it depends what age you are. i'm sorry for you. i do understand though, because my dad's side of the family has disowned me. it will be ok. stick with the people who love you, in a sense they are your family. your friends, teachers, church, club members, coworkers, etc. just becuz they arent blood doesnt mean they arent family! good luck!
