'Non vorrei essere' = I wouldn't like to be (conditional). 'Dato/a per scontato/a' = taken for granted (literally 'given for granted'). The adjective agrees with gender. Being 'preso per scontato' is a common Italian relationship complaint.
Mi farebbe piacere che tu apprezzassi di più quello che faccio.
Me gustaría que apreciaras más lo que hago.
Specific request for appreciation — naming the behaviour
A volte ho l'impressione di essere invisibile.
A veces me siento invisible.

The experience of being 'dato per scontato' (taken for granted) is one of the most common Italian relationship complaints — particularly among women. Italian culture values 'la gentilezza quotidiana' (daily kindness) — the small acts of appreciation that keep love alive. When they are absent, the partner notices.
