I am 44 yrs old women, off late I feel, that no body gives importance to me, whether it is at office or at home. Only when people need approval / favour from me, they keep saying good about me. Even at home only when family needs my support or money from me, they pretend to be caring. I feel like living in an artificial world. This is making me irritable. I know that I cannot change them. How do I come out of this situation. Please suggest.

This is not the artificial world, it is the real world. And welcome to it. It may have nothing to do with your age but has a lot to do with the modern times. Everyone is out to see what they can get for themselves, and is very self-centered. Actually, that is not a problem because I am sure you do the same without realizing. It is bad when self-centered become selfish, and people do not just look for themselves, they ignore other people in the process, even if they are in need or in pain. We are all attention-seeking animals: you want attention, you go get it. Seriously, you have got to fend for yourself and take what you need and ask for what you want. If not, you will just get sidelined. One thing that can happen with age is that you can become lackadaisical and take things for granted. Then that is your fault. You must work to get attention and affection. Build strong bonds with the certain people you like and invest into those relationships to give you dividends at times like these. People have become time-serving leeches and don? t have time to spare for anything else unless it interests them, personally. It would be lovely to have us return to those good old days but the times are a changing and we have to learn to live with it. So there is no coming out of it per se but you want something go get it, period. Rough and tough world but we created it and we have to live in it.
