Good morning. I extend my sincerest regards to you from afar and am grateful to have the opportunity to assist you.
I hope that my sharing can provide you with some support and assistance. I also commend you for your clear awareness of your physical and mental feelings.
The desire to be recognized and liked is a fundamental psychological need that everyone has. The difference lies in the degree of desire to be responded to. From your description, it is evident that this aspect of your inner needs is significantly lacking and deprived. You have not yet attempted to respond to yourself more effectively through your own efforts. Consequently, you are more inclined to seek external responses and satisfaction.
It is important to note that no individual is obliged to respond to and satisfy your needs, and no one knows you better than you do. Once you have identified your inner needs and deficiencies, you can attempt to respond to and satisfy them more effectively through your own efforts.
It is essential to first accept and allow oneself to have these needs and desires. They should be met with a positive response and satisfaction. It is crucial to avoid feelings of shame, guilt, or self-blame for having such needs. Needs should be addressed with an open mind. There is no shame in having needs; all legitimate needs should be responded to and satisfied. What often causes shame is that needs have been suppressed and hidden, leading to certain personality distortions. Needs are often responded to in ways that hurt oneself or others.
In the event that your roommate's behavior makes you feel disrespected, misunderstood, or unsupported, it is advisable to express your true feelings in a forthright and honest manner. This should be done without making any judgments about their actions.
Meanwhile, it would be beneficial to attempt to learn to better accept yourself. This is because a person's relationship with others is often a projection of their relationship with their inner selves.
When you can fully accept yourself, recognize your strengths, and like yourself from the inside out, you will not need to look outside for affirmation excessively.
One method of improving self-acceptance is to create a list of one's strengths related to self-acceptance. This process allows individuals to identify areas for improvement while also recognizing their positive attributes.
It would be beneficial to cultivate additional interests and passions in your life, thereby increasing your control over various aspects. Additionally, maintaining a gratitude journal can be an effective method for developing self-confidence and enhancing your sense of self-worth.
Do not define or evaluate yourself based on the outcomes of your actions.
Show yourself and others the same respect and consideration you would expect in return. Build strong, mutually beneficial relationships.

I can totally relate to feeling frustrated when trying to sleep. It's tough when roommates are noisy. I guess expressing how you feel is a start, even if it feels hard. Maybe finding a way to communicate more effectively or setting some boundaries could help in the long run.
It's really challenging when your space isn't respected. I think it's important to remember that your feelings matter too. Perhaps talking openly about how their actions impact you might make them more considerate. You deserve to have your needs acknowledged.
Feeling like you're not enough because of others' actions can be really hurtful. But remember, their behavior doesn't define your worth. It might be helpful to explore why seeking approval feels so crucial and find ways to build selfacceptance from within.
Sometimes roommates don't realize the impact they have on us. It sounds like you're dealing with a lot of complex emotions. Seeking recognition is natural, but also learning to give yourself that validation can be powerful. Maybe focusing on what you need to feel better can lead to personal growth.
The struggle between wanting peace and feeling envious of others who seem carefree is real. It's okay to want both respect and happiness. Understanding your desire for recognition might come from valuing your own needs first. Try to prioritize what makes you feel good and see if that changes things.
