seeking approval??

1)Hmm have you ever felt the need of approval from ppl, esp ppl with low-self esteem? Ever done something that had slove a certain situation or help people in some way and expect them to thanks you, but in the end nobody seems to say that out to you?

2)Ever try to show a concern for people but they just seems like not to know and stick with their clique? (or maybe is it that you chose to be quiet that's why people doesn't seems to wan to talk to you as they can't really clique and you seems to be rather cold and aloof and had to understand)

Ever felt left out? When all the people are there and you just seems to be forgotten? (Is it that you chose to be alone and too quiet that's why you are forgoten?)

Hmmm ok what does all these means? I dunno... I just felt like saying what i think and felt. For situation no. 1 hmmm.. I think maybe sometimes the things we do people really don't appreciate, and sometimes we even want praises from people for what we had done.. But the end of the day.. Maybe we just need to remind ourselves that.. no matter what we do, if we know that what is done is correct and right its enough le.. Because if we going to seek for those "acknowledgement" we will sure be disappointed. Especially in church, if we do what is correct and right at the moment and it benefit the whole situation.. its good enough.. Shld be thankful.. thankful that you are able to at least do something to help out..(thankful for a chance to serve)

Hmm for situation no.2 is more difficult bah.. For me its difficult, because I often look for the "return" when i give out "love" to people.. So i guess the only solution is to pray and practice to give out love with no "return" thoughts in mind. (Well tough one.. easier said then done)

Hmm felt left out? Hmm the only way is to be the one who join them and not wait for people to look for you.. As most people are passive bah.. Well some situations have more than one solutions =/ btw though i manage to say these out.. but that doesn't mean i do, as i don't really do what i say out actually.. Hmm why leh? I guess because is now i'm thinking.. den after this thing i forget about it already.. So it is stuck in the thinking stage.. not even the planning stage.. not to mention even about the doing stage.. dotz.. what a person i am..
