Recently, I feel like the teacher is always being ignored, but I haven't done anything wrong. What should I do? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

At school, it's just the feeling that, for example, if a classmate and I go to the office to hand in an assignment, the teacher will only say something witty to my classmate and show concern for them, while I say hello to the teacher next to them, as if they didn't hear me. I really don't know what I've done wrong. Let's talk about grades. I'm not the one with the worst grades, but there are students who are slightly worse than me, and they are still cared for. I really want to understand what I've done wrong that would make him feel that he doesn't even have the motivation to say hello back to me when I say hello to him next to him.

Good day, host. I am July.

After reading your description, I have a better understanding of the question you wish to ask. I would like to express my empathy for your situation and offer you a gesture of support in the four-dimensional space.

From the issues you have outlined, it is evident that you place a significant value on your teacher's opinion of you. This is why you are so attentive to and invested in your teacher's interpersonal interactions with you. Consequently, you regard your teacher as a figure of authority, which is why you are so responsive to their feedback. Internally, you also anticipate that your teacher will extend the same attention and care to you as they do to other students.

Indeed, being ignored by teachers is a common experience among individuals undergoing personal growth. I, too, often questioned my worth and perceived that my teacher did not care about me, instead associating with students who were less academically successful than I was. This led to feelings of sadness and confusion. Despite my lack of fault, I received such a response, which caused significant disappointment and a sense of incomprehension.

To a certain extent, I can also comprehend the emotional state you are currently experiencing. It is therefore advisable to proceed with caution. While the teacher is undoubtedly a significant figure in your life, it is important to recognise that certain circumstances may not be readily amenable to change.

In this regard, I have also provided a summary of some methods that may assist in alleviating the current situation, and it is my hope that they will prove beneficial to some extent.

(1) It is of the utmost importance to prioritize one's own well-being and not to fixate on the responses of others. While the responses of others are undoubtedly significant, they are also subject to individual interpretation. Some individuals may find it challenging to respond to themselves in the same manner as they would to others.

(2) It is possible that the teacher did not treat you equitably, and it so happened that you valued the teacher's response very much, which caused you to become emotionally reactive in the moment.

(3) Being sensitive to people and things is not an issue for you, as you have already demonstrated an appreciation for your teacher's feedback. Consequently, you will likely observe similar responses from your teacher to you and to others.

(4) It is recommended that you attempt to distract yourself from the situation and avoid prolonged exposure, as it will be challenging to resolve the issue in a short time frame.

(5) It is not the student's responsibility if the teacher does not respond adequately to their needs. It is possible that the teacher has not recognized the student's needs and has consequently neglected them. Therefore, it can be concluded that the teacher has not performed their duties satisfactorily. However, the student has already identified these issues, which makes it easier to resolve them.

(6) It is recommended that the student speak with a friend with whom they have a positive relationship. This will allow them to express their thoughts and feelings, which will help them to process their emotions in a constructive manner.

The world and I extend our affection to you.

Best regards.

Hello, my dear. From your description, I can tell that you are feeling somewhat uncomfortable and confused (it seems like you feel that you are always being ignored by your teacher), especially aggrieved and entangled (it seems like your teacher is kind to students with good or bad grades, and seems to be the only one who doesn't pay enough attention to you).

From your description, I can see that you are a very polite child who greets all the teachers when you see them. You also seem to have a keen sense of observation and a delicate mind. I think you must be a very good writer. Children with a delicate mind have a deeper understanding of the world and life. And with your keen powers of observation, I think you can definitely see things that others don't. So I think your essays will be full of vitality and make people feel warm and comfortable.

From your title, it seems that you feel the teacher ignores you on a regular basis. However, from your example, it seems that this occurs only when you greet her. Could you please clarify whether the teacher ignores you all the time, only when you greet her?

Could it be that when you are alone and the teacher is also alone, if you greet the teacher loudly, the teacher may not respond? If not, could it be because there are too many people and the teacher can't always take care of everyone?

Perhaps we could try to be a little more understanding of the teacher. After all, everyone has a limited experience, and so do teachers. If there are a lot of people in front of them, they may not be able to take care of everyone.

Could you kindly elaborate on whether the teacher ignores you in other ways, besides when you greet him? For instance, when you ask a question?

If you ever needed to talk to him in private, or if you had any problems in life that you needed to discuss with him, would he be available to meet with you?

If other teachers are not ignoring you, it's possible that when you greet the teacher, they might be thinking about something, because teachers are also ordinary people and have things that bother them. We are still students, and our energy is limited. Taking care of our own affairs first is also a way to help the teacher share the pressure. So you see, you are also very capable!

I believe you may be suggesting that you would like to be assigned a teacher. Could I confirm that the other teachers are not ignoring you?

I wonder if I might ask you about the attitude of the other teachers towards you? Do they communicate with you in a humorous way and show you care about you relatively?

I believe you are also a very attractive student in the eyes of your teachers.

Finally, let's consider the possibility that the teacher may have overlooked you. What are your thoughts on why the teacher may have overlooked you? Do you think it could be related to your grades?

If grades are a concern, could we explore ways to transform this teacher's apparent lack of attention into a motivation to study diligently and become someone the teacher can't ignore? If grades aren't the primary issue, would you be open to discussing your thoughts with the teacher?

I believe the teacher is also very willing to communicate with you. It may be the case that the teacher is not paying attention to you, but I don't think this is intentional.

I also believe that you are not the worst student in the class. However, I feel that you could benefit from some extra self-confidence. I am not sure if you are being too modest, or if this is really the case. If so, it might be helpful to take a moment to reflect on your thoughts and feelings.

Would you perhaps prefer to remain at the same level of performance in this subject and continue to feel overlooked by the teacher?

In my experience, students with average grades tend to be the ones who make their teachers feel most at ease. This is because they are often focused on their studies and driven to improve, which is something that teachers appreciate. Conversely, students with below-average grades may receive less attention from their teachers. This is because they may not be as engaged in their studies or may have more behavioural issues that require attention.

I believe you are the kind of student who makes your teacher feel at ease. It is unlikely that you would become the worst student on your own to attract your teacher's attention. Therefore, I suggest that we work harder to become the kind of student that the teacher has to pay attention to and value.

I used to be a middle-of-the-pack student, and I also tried hard to become an outstanding student to attract the teacher's attention. While my grades ultimately did not succeed in attracting the teacher's attention, I did make a point of greeting them every time I saw them. I would say "Hello, teacher" very loudly, so that all my teachers had to nod and smile in response to me. Because of this, every time I smiled confidently, it also made a very good impression on the teachers. I think you might as well try it too. Start by boosting your confidence, cheer yourself on, greet the teacher loudly and with a smile, in a voice that they have to hear and pay attention to. I'm sure that when the teacher sees your confidence and your smile, they will smile back at you too!

Each individual serves as a beacon, capable of illuminating the hearts of many through their words, whether they be questions or answers. This is a power that we all possess.

Greetings, I am the Heart Exploration coach, Flying. I can empathize with your situation. You crave the attention, affirmation, and recognition from your teacher. It is irrelevant whether he is intentionally or unintentionally ignoring you; it is causing you distress.

Furthermore, even if I were an adult, if I greeted a senior leader and he did not respond positively, I would also briefly question whether I had done something wrong. Let us embrace each other and examine the issues that trouble you and the solutions.

1. The desire to be seen, respected, understood, and accepted is a fundamental human need.

The teacher's apparent disregard or lack of positive response has led to feelings of frustration, which are often attributed to oneself, resulting in a lack of confidence and motivation, and an overall negative affect.

"There is no failure, only feedback." It is important to note that neither the student nor the teacher is at fault. It is possible that the teacher was simply too involved in the situation at the time and had other concerns that took precedence over responding to the student.

In the eyes and hearts of teachers, every student is regarded as a beloved and cherished child, deserving of unwavering care and protection. In a classroom setting where similar dynamics prevail, students who have achieved exemplary academic performance may not necessitate the same level of concern from their teachers. Instead, they may benefit from affirmation and praise. Conversely, those who have demonstrated a commendable level of responsibility may receive more attention from their responsible teachers. Finally, students who have attained mediocre grades may receive the least attention from their teachers.

Additionally, it can be postulated that it is the students with the poorest academic performance who are most likely to seek out their teachers after graduation.

In your case, it can be reasonably assumed that the teacher's attention will be intensified due to the brain's inherent need to rationalize. Once a decision has been made, the brain will seek out and collect evidence from various sources to support the chosen judgment. This may contribute to the perception of being ignored by the teacher.

2. Strive to be your authentic self and make a positive impression on others.

It is evident that receiving praise and recognition from others has a beneficial effect on our sense of worth and confidence. It makes us feel valuable, present, and secure.

However, if one relies on external support from others, one is likely to experience disappointment when that support is withdrawn or otherwise unavailable. Once this external support is no longer available, one may experience a sense of loss.

It is possible to devote more attention to one's inner self, to maintain a positive connection with oneself, to perceive one's emotions and needs, and to inquire of oneself, "In addition to the sense of value that can be enhanced by the attention and affirmation of others, what other ways are there?"

It can be argued that a certain degree of anxiety and inferiority complex can actually provide motivation to study and improve oneself. If one does not receive the attention of their teachers, it can be beneficial to channel that emotion into motivation to work harder and improve one's self-confidence by doing one's best in all aspects.

It is advisable to cultivate confidence in oneself and to adopt a hopeful outlook regarding the future. It is preferable to seek to please oneself rather than others, and it is more beneficial to be one's own primary source of support than to rely on others.

A robust and resilient heart also demonstrates a positive and vital energy.

It is my sincere hope that the above will prove beneficial to you, and that you will accept my warmest regards and best wishes for your continued success.

From your question, it's clear you're a highly motivated student who cares a great deal about making a good impression on your teachers.

You really want to get the teacher's attention! It's only natural to compare yourself with other students, and even hope to become the one the teacher pays the most attention to.

When you feel that you are constantly being ignored by the teacher, you feel very uneasy, don't you? This kind of mood is really quite distressing. But don't worry! I'm here to help.

Let me talk about this from three aspects, and I really hope it helps!

2. There are so many possibilities for any one thing!

When you greet your teacher and don't get a response, it really makes you feel down as a student. But don't worry! It's not a big deal.

But here's the thing: if several people greet you at the same time, it's actually pretty tough to pay attention to everyone and treat everyone equally, because human attention is limited.

So, does the teacher's failure to respond in time mean that he is ignoring you?

Maybe he didn't hear your greeting, or maybe he was just distracted by something else. But that's okay! It was unintentional.

There are so many possibilities for one thing! And we don't actually need to insist on the one that makes us unhappy, right?

3. There is a limit to what one thing can prove, but there is so much more that you can prove!

Guess what? Being ignored by someone is a constant state!

Now, let's recall together: are there many things that can prove your neglect?

If the teacher doesn't respond to your greeting, does it make you feel left out so obviously that you think this feeling is going to stick around for a while?

Our brains are amazing! They often exaggerate the strongest and most vivid impressions and treat them as a constant norm. But, in reality, these impressions may have been just an incidental event.

4. One thing can be treated in different ways!

Of course, when you greet your teacher, you expect a response. And when you don't get one, you get to experience the full range of emotions! You might feel awkward, lost, or even self-blame. But that's all part of the journey!

You can just think of it as a minor embarrassment. And you know what? It's totally fine to turn around and walk away. As long as you don't care, who will remember the scene?

You can also accept the small loss it brings, and it is true that you can't help but associate it with some speculation. But if you think back on the teacher's actions at other times, you'll see that the feeling of being ignored may not hold!

I really hope that what I've said has helped you to see things differently and given you the boost you need to move on!

But if this incident still causes you to blame yourself and repeatedly think about what you did wrong, you know what you can do! Talk to the school's psychological counselor. They'll be able to help you!

I really hope these words will brighten your day and lift your mood!

I can totally relate to feeling overlooked like that. It's frustrating when you see others getting attention and you're not, even though you're putting in effort. Maybe it's time to have an open conversation with the teacher about how you're feeling.

Feeling ignored is really tough, especially when you notice the teacher engaging more with others. It's important to remember this doesn't necessarily mean you've done anything wrong. Perhaps setting up a oneonone meeting could give you some clarity on where you stand with them.

It's disheartening when it feels like your efforts go unnoticed. Teachers sometimes unintentionally show favoritism or may be preoccupied. Consider expressing your feelings to the teacher; they might not be aware of how their actions are affecting you.

Briony York Learning is a struggle that yields sweet fruits.

Sometimes teachers can inadvertently make students feel left out. This situation sounds like it's taking a toll on your confidence. It might help to reflect on what you bring to the class and also to seek feedback directly from the teacher about your performance and presence.

When we feel snubbed by a teacher, it can really affect our selfesteem. Have you thought about talking to someone else, like a counselor or another teacher, who might offer advice on approaching this issue? They could provide some guidance on how to address the situation constructively.
