Someone once asked...
Someone answered with kindness...
I will be brutally honest with you. Its because your are not. You are not even your first choices. You see we live in a world with different persons and personalities often rendering us envious of other people's abilities and specialities but fail to acknowledge ours. You are beautiful, insightful, and your are the best. Always know that. The reason why you feel that you aren't anyone's first choice is because you aren't even your first choice. You tend to compare yourself to others which is a shame because you are better than many others and you know that. PUT YOURSELF FIRST!! 😭
Another soul answered...
Perhaps because you don't see yourself as a "first choice". Our own perspective and respect of self can greatly influence how we perceive the thoughts of others; even the smallest nonverbal communication from someone can be warped greatly by a pre-defined filter we place in front of ourselves. Humans are flawed, everyone is going to let us down at some point. Try to focus on seeing yourself as worthy of a first choice, and see where people follow from there.
Another soul answered...
A man once told me he always felt like the backup plan — in friendships, at work, in love. I asked him to list the people who'd actually shown up for him, consistently, over years. He named five. Not the flashy ones. The steady ones. "First choice" is a strange thing to chase, because it depends on someone else's ranking, made in a moment, for reasons you'll never fully see. What you can actually measure is who stays. Being chosen loudly once means less than being chosen quietly, again and again.
Another soul answered...
do not care anyone's choice
Another soul answered...
Find your own first choice.
Another soul answered...
You are bro u are
Another soul answered...
Maybe because you think you don't spend enough time with that person?
Another soul answered...
If you could pick anyone to be, would you choose yourself first?
Another soul answered...
why be a choice ur not a purse dangling in a store u are a living thing treat urself as one . its okay to feel like this but it really doesnt matter cuz at the same time ur also getting to choose certain thing . U are a consious being u have one life , dont try to be someones choice be yourself , atleast a better one :)
Another soul answered...
you probably arent ik its harsh but you need better friends
Another soul answered...
feeling doesnt have to be factual. besides, even if your no ones first choice, you will always be your own first choice and thats what matters
Another soul answered...
Because am everyones first choice
Another soul answered...
Because you are measuring your worth by where others place you. Do not seek to be everyone’s first choice; seek to become at peace with yourself. The right people will not make you beg for a place in their lives, and you need not abandon yourself to earn one.
Another soul answered...
Go seek therepy
Another soul answered...
Becouse you didn't found the la peace
Another soul answered...
That's because you are being reserved to be someone else's first choice.
Another soul answered...
becausee you areeent
Another soul answered...
because to become someone first choice you need to be become your first choice
Another soul answered...
Oh dude, the million dollar question regarding love and existence! I got heartbroken once, when I was 22, and it was the first time I ever fell in love. When such event happens at such age, you're somewhat bound to believe it is forever. The truth was, I was so wrong. I was used in order for her to not grieve her previous relationship in which she had cheated on her ex. Turns out she got back to him, after playing pretend with me. I'm 24 now, and it still hurts, but life moves on. And I do believe that some interactions, coming from malicious people, exist in order to teach you a proper lesson. And that, my friend, made me question whether or not I was worthy of being chosen, love-wise. That's your mind coming up with false narratives in order to fill a gap in storyline. It does not make any sense. My best piece of advice? Choose yourself. Yea, it might sound obnoxious or chessy, but the truth is that you can be your first choice all day, every single damn day. Treat yourself with compassion, easiness, compliment yourself, state the things you like the most about your own identity and do all the activities which give you an immense amount of joy! We tend to perceive love, and the act of being loved by someone as a divine index of our worth. However, not being chosen is a choice made by them, and it might not have anything to do with you. You are alive. You are a human being. Your existence is, by design, worthy of so much. But you are still so enthralled in this idea that existing through someonelse's point of view is all it matters, when you have two beautiful eyes and the entire landscape of this planet to explore. It all comes down to self-love and self-esteem. Do the things that you're passionate about, but alone. Stay in touch with your friends. Go for long walks and allow yourself to gaze at views with no strict purpose. Talk to yourself in the same way you would take to a dear friend of yours. Dress sharp, and be comfortable in your own skin. Keep your hygiene up to date! And please, for the love of God, I do not know if you're a guy or a gal, but this sort of question usually comes from men overall, so I'll assume that you're a dude: do not give in into the manosphere, alt-right, right-wing. Andrew Tate kind of content Love, if it ever comes knocking at your door, should be swift and subtle. Spontaneuous, even. Do not go out of your way to look for it, for the right person will find you because of your own uniqueness. So don't change yourself for nobody, unless those tweaks mean you'll come out as a more humble, down to earth, polite, sincere and sensible person Life is so much more than being chosen. Grab it with your bare hands and teeth and do what you love the most, even if it means going through some hindrances. You've got this!
Another soul answered...
because you aren't.
Another soul answered...
Maybe you are, but they're just too scared of being rejected by you.
Another soul answered...
it's okay that you feel that way, work hard and focus on yourself
Another soul answered...
What's important is not the feeling, but the ability to realize that you are worthy of being the first choice. Do not lose energy over others' disinterest -- instead, prioritize your own well-being and only give time of day to those who truly want to be with you.
Another soul answered...
Hi,my name is Kelly and I also used to feel this way i used to cry even if I had friends I was never their first choice it made me sad and made me realise I can be My first choice so I am seeking peace and friendship with myself and you can do the same to stranger. Love and peace from kelly
Another soul answered...
Likely, because people are choosing others before you. Can you accept that the love is still real? Love is not exclusive, or dependent upon being a "favorite". Do your best to care for the people around you, not for the sake of what you will receive, but for the sake of the goodness the world needs.
Another soul answered...
The truth is because you probably aren’t but that’s normal I deal with it too you never gonna truly be the first pick but you’ll always be mine ✨
Another soul answered...
that might be because people around you don't show their love and appreciation of you, or maybe you have some low confidence and feel unworthy, making others think of you less, either way you must truly consider if you aren't anyone's first choice sometimes we underestimate people's love, and besides even if you aren't anyone's first choice, that doesn't matter because all you need is yourself, if you look after yourself and prioritise yourself things can work out, who studies for you, who eats food and brushes your hair? you do it and that means you don't need anyone else's approval. do think if your feelings are the truth tho because people might care more than you think.
Another soul answered...
You need to get close with them first
Another soul answered...
Maybe because they’re disappointed that their first choice wasn’t the best choice. The first choice is often what we think we want, not what we need.
Another soul answered...
I am currently on a strike, I am not paid for this. Therefor I can not offer my expertise.
Another soul answered...
Because you just haven't found the one for you.When you find them you will always be the first choice. M'kkkk? Good. If I met u, u would probs be my first choice. Love ya. 😊 ❤
Another soul answered...
Maybe you are, maybe you are not. One thing life has taught me is not to depend on anybody or expect someone to take a stand for you or be there for you only you can trust yourself for that. Be that for yourself dont hope for people to be there for you.
Another soul answered...
yourself is most important , if you are your first choice then there's always someone put you first. If you don't be your first choice , there's no one gonna treat you like that.
Another soul answered...
hmm to be honest i am also like you not anyone first choice i was a super attention seeker not attention seeker but half of life was gone in to become someone's first choice but one day i realized that you cant control others and their mind or anything about you i just keep focusing on my self and letting them go from my life who wants to go a day will come when you will be a choice for someone like me after 4 years i found my love of life and 3 of my best friends and i am their first choice so best way is to forgot about becoming someones choice be real by yourself one day will come i promise
Another soul answered...
You feel that way because you doubt yourself, find someone who also feels this way, and help the both of you out.
Another soul answered...
Because you feel like that
Another soul answered...
Talk to different people
Another soul answered...
Because you are insecure and need ether better friends or your friends to reassure you
Another soul answered...
你根本不用等“完全准备好”的那天再出发。现在你走的每一步、啃下来的每一个难题，都是在给自己攒底牌。未来从来不是等出来的，是你带着当下的底气，一步步闯出来的。
Another soul answered...
I am going through this too, I don't know why this happens and I am so sorry. I guarantee that people love you and you just can't see it yet.
Another soul answered...
Because you dont realise people love you. Maybe you ARE in fact someones first choice but you just dont realise it. Try making urself happy from small things
Another soul answered...
Because maybe you aren't
Another soul answered...
Because you probably aren't. Just because you make love to someone who isn't a virgin doesn't make you less special, or lesser than that first. Losing one's virginity is often an awkward, painful experience. Just because you came later, in so many areas, for another, doesn't mean you are lesser. In many cases the second love or the second choice comes from an experience of pain, of being wiser, of recognizing something hidden but valuable.
Another soul answered...
LIft weights. Uninstall tiktok.
Another soul answered...
Because you're not and it's okay you're not.
Another soul answered...
Are you your own first-choice? People don't want to choose people who won't choose themselves.
Another soul answered...
You don't want to be anyone's first choice. Most people don't even know what they want, and are easily manipulated into choosing what benefits someone else. Be glad you are what people discover when they develop a finer taste.
Another soul answered...
Are you your first choice? When you make yourself important enough for yourself, lie and the world starts choosing you.
Another soul answered...
Are you your own first choice?
Another soul answered...
Do not be dismayed when the light of your life's lamp isn't seen by those around you. Let it shine brighter still and it will guide those with eyes to see who you truly are.
Another soul answered...
You must be your own first choice, then you will see your second choice, and they will see theirs in you.
Another soul answered...
Can you be your own first choice? Your worth goes beyond what other people can see at the surface.
Another soul answered...
What if the first choice, was for an execution during a revolution? Perhaps sometimes a tragedy is avoided by being "not the first".
Another soul answered...
because you haven't chosen yourself first. Once you do that, how you feel isnt determined but what anyone else does or doesnt do.
Another soul answered...
Because you have low self esteem and don't see the value that others see in you.
Another soul answered...
Statistically unlikely
Another soul answered...
Why do you care? Is that what will ffulfill you?
Another soul answered...
How often do you get your first choice?
Another soul answered...
Trust me, you are sometimes. This is my first time answering a question, so I guess you are *my* first choice.
Another soul answered...
Because you have low self-esteem
Another soul answered...
You should be your own first choice.
Another soul answered...
Because you haven't been. The real question though is are you a mediocre choice or is the chooser mediocre? So long as you've identified that you are at the appropriate stage in your life, you're putting in the work, in education, at your job, at the gym, then you have reason to suspect them not choosing you is mediocrity valuing the wrong things, the mediocre things. But if that isn't true you probably already know why and therefore you know what it is you must do, you just needed permission. Well, give yourself that permission. Put in the work. It's time to make yourself the one who chooses. Chooses life.
Another soul answered...
why not become your own
Another soul answered...
Because you aren't. Find new people
Another soul answered...
You don't need to be someone's first choice because you are your own choice first. You choose to think, you choose to love, you choose to feel, hence you gotta learn to choose what's right for you first. Being ok with yourself first is important, then by some stroke of luck if you fall in love mutually then yeah you are in healthy mind and body to be in a relationship. That's the next stage of the challenge tbh.
Another soul answered...
Get some confidence. But first and foremost, maybe ask if you aren't, and why would that be.
Another soul answered...
Statistically speaking, almost everyone has a friend more popular than themself.
Another soul answered...
知らん。
Another soul answered...
It is possible you are not your own first choice, making you always feel secondary to others when you compare yourself to them.
Another soul answered...
Are you your own first choice? Start there. And then slowly move outwards - what about the person you love the most? Your family? Remember, relationships are about quality not quantity.
Another soul answered...
What if there were no others at all. Would that feeling disappear?
Another soul answered...
You haven’t learned to love yourself, and take initiative within your own life. When you love yourself, others will love you.
Another soul answered...
BCS u suck maybe?
Another soul answered...
First choice is a high bar — you’d have to rank #1 out of everyone that person is considering. That could develop organically — through proof and repeated exposure. Connect with your true self. Making yourself (and others) comfortable and self-confidence is the most important. You can’t choose who you’ll be the first choice of, but the universe will gift you them when you’re least expecting it or grasping for them.
Another soul answered...
How you feel defines how you are. Feel like someone's first choice and it will be.
Another soul answered...
everyone is born with biases they cannot control. be kind to everyone, especially yourself. somethings take time, until then, be your first choice.
Another soul answered...
Is it our nature to prioritise looking outwards instead of inwards? Is the opinion of others the centre of our lived experience? Do we see ourselves as mere reflections of the world around us or do we construct the world we inhabit in our images?
Another soul answered...
Does that inlcude yourself too? Are you your first choice?
Another soul answered...
cause you arent
Another soul answered...
Probably because you are not indeed. Think instead why does it bother you?
Another soul answered...
Three mountains on a range met. "Only the strongest and proudest can climb me!" said the highest from its snowy peaks. "I have far less dead on me!" said the middle with its rocky faces. The lowest said nothing, it had too many happy people on it.
Another soul answered...
Don't get obsessed with that, you're the one that matters, fuck the people. Center on your own.stuff and you'll realize you don't care about this matter. Eventually you will be the one deciding.
