I LEARNED NOT TO TAKE REJECTION PERSONALLY
I LEARNED NOT TO TAKE REJECTION PERSONALLY

This might not happen overnight but working towards this goal will make you feel much happier and make you a better person

Which we cannot do if we take rejection personally

And God requires with both courage and forgiveness in us

When I learned not to take rejection personally but to continue in my life as if my enemies were not even there it made accepting them and not hating them a lot easier

I tried to ruin the reputation of one of my church contacts because he slandered me and excluded me socially by turning people against me to punish me for refusing to date him

I kept wanting bad things to happen to my extended family because they thought I was a broke loser and would mock me and ignore me in my own home

I resented my dad for slandering me to everybody in site because I though my happiness was dependent on my reputation and status in my social context and my ability to influence people and be liked my others

I resented my mother a lot for refusing to love me because I believed for decades my happiness was dependent on my mother loving me and wanting to take care of and protect me

They would tell me all the time I was worthless I was stupid I couldn’t do anything right I didn’t matter I was ugly or fat or I was too embarrassing and obtuse in my social manners

And I realized around 97-99.9% of my problems came from the pain of being rejected by them


I had over a dozen mental health health problems when I was in high school from my abusive parents
