Here is a quick and brief word for you this Tuesday morning, there is no need to be discouraged, if others do not worth your effort then, do it for yourself! The drive that keeps you motivated most times is love and passion for what you do and nothing else!
I do things because first I enjoy doing them with or without you, with or without your opinion and approval. I'm first satisfied and happy with myself and whatever it is I am doing even if it's for you but in as much as I derive joy in doing it I'm happy!
If not for anything just do it and be happy with yourself! Do you know so many things many people do are directly or indirectly for others? Either to help them or just to impress them, sometimes they wonder why they put in so much effort and end up unhappy, simply because nobody seem to see nor recognize their efforts.
But eventually we all get discouraged when we do not get the support and appraisal we expect, the truth is that no one is looking at your effort nor your sacrifice especially when it is beneficial to everybody.
Of course "everybody" is nobody's name but the things we do for others should be first those things that gives us joy while doing them that we are simply happy with ourselves even if we are not appreciated nor our services paid for!
There are things we do to help others and there are times we make sacrifices even and when such efforts are taken for granted, they kill our interest but do you know what? Just keep doing what you are doing and be satisfied and happy with yourself for that is all that matters! Do have a wonderful day ahead!

Speaking from experience, being a People Pleaser really, really sucks. Constantly putting others before yourself, sooner or later, will result in some serious negative effects, such as: self-neglect, resentment (towards others and yourself), stress, anxiety, depression, and so on.
