If you are seeking to understand whether you might have experienced neglect as a child, consider the following reflective questions:
Did you often feel unseen or unheard by your caregivers? Were your basic needs, such as food, clothing, and a safe environment, consistently met? Did you receive emotional support and comfort when you were upset or afraid? How often were you left alone or expected to care for yourself without appropriate supervision? Did you have access medical care and attend school regularly? Were you encouraged to express yourself and engage in activities that interested you? Lastly, did you feel valued and loved, or did you frequently feel ignored or dismissed?
Answering these questions can provide some insight, but they are not a definitive diagnosis of childhood neglect. If these reflections bring up concerns or emotions, speaking with a mental health professional can offer support and guidance tailored to your experience.
