What are tips to help combat feelings of being rejected from family?

[SunnyCaliGirl]

I don't know how common this is but dose anyone else have a family member that makes you feel rejected from family, or talks about other family members that your related to as well but they talk to you like your not or try to make you feel disconnected some how?

If so how do you cope with it in a healthy way?

I try to stay away and distant myself from negativity and gossip. People who talk about other people and always complain they want you to be miserable like they are.

I had no idea what has happened to you why didn’t you tell me about this before?

Its something that has been an Off and On issue with a certain family member of mine, but its gotten to a point where I noticed a repeated pattern, and thats mainly why I didn't mention it and an issue that is easier said in person that online.
I asked this question because I wanted to know if anyone else has been made to feel a certain way even if the situations are different and how they coped :)

If you’d like we can talk about it in private message whenever you’re ready and you can tell me who it is I’ve known you for over six years

Fortunately not. We have some family members who put money above people and I guess they may have felt like this, but for a reason! They would rather have used your money for personal wins than support you in difficult times 🙈

I left home at 18 and moved well over 100 miles away from my family to study, so never felt rejected but definitely have felt out of touch to a certain extent ever since, no real answer unfortunately other than just being true to yourself, because ultimately thats all you can control.

First I’d analyze the situation and determine if what I’m feeling matches the facts. I’d ask: “is how I feel accurate, is this person trying to reject me or disassociate from me.” If I determined that was the case I’d speak to them about it or simply avoid them.

I have a sister who is jealous and she tries to spread malicious gossip about me whenever she can. I have tried to eliminate her from my life as much as possible and I do not speak to her.

Read a book call the art of not giving a fuck.


Heard it good 👍 but I don’t need it because I naturally don’t give a fuck.
