00:12Top 10 Signs Your Parents Emotionally Neglected You Without Realizing It

00:15You know kids need food, sleep, and shelter, but emotional needs matter just as much.

00:21One of the biggest, emotional validation, feeling seen, heard, and accepted.

00:25In a 1965 study, baby monkeys chose comfort over food.

00:30That's how powerful emotional connection is.

00:32And that's what validation gives you, safety and closeness.

00:35When your parents notice and accept your feelings, you learn your emotions are okay.

00:40You feel understood and supported, but if they dismiss or ignore your emotions,

00:44even if they love you, you may feel invisible or wrong for feeling anything at all.

00:48That's emotional neglect.

00:49It happens when parents don't meet your emotional needs enough, even unintentionally.

00:53What that might have looked like.

00:551. They pretended to listen or didn't engage, so you felt unimportant.

00:592. They ignored your struggles, leaving you unsure of your strengths or flaws.

01:043. They lacked structure or rules, so now you might struggle with self-control.

01:094. They dismissed your feelings, so you learned to hide or suppress them.

01:135. You didn't feel seen or heard, so you felt unworthy or less than.

01:309. You were taught not to have needs, so now you struggle to ask for help.

01:3510. You were told not to feel, so you disconnected from your emotions and yourself.

01:39If any of this resonates, you may have experienced emotional neglect.

01:4210. But it's not permanent.

01:4410. Start paying attention to your feelings.

01:4710. Honor them.
