Rejection issues...?!
Question: Why is it that I jump to the conclusion that people are always rejecting me? Even if someone doesn't know the first thing about me, they walk away or don't talk to me and I take it as rejection. It's like this with everything and it's really starting to make me feel terrible about myself. Is this as abnormal as I'm finding it to be?

Meg,
It really sounds like your being to hard on yourself and who you are. In one way this is pretty normal - were human, we have feelings.
There are many reasons that people turn away from others. More specifically, if your talking about relationships, feelings and emotions are sometimes difficult to express for some people - so in turn, they just leave the situation.
Let me say that you should never assume someones intentions or jump to conclusions in such a negative way. Your looking down upon yourself and you shouldn't be, life is way to short to think everyone is rejecting you.
There is something grand about everyone in this world we live in and when those who choose to walk away from us do so, they do so on there own. Keep this in mind that people do make mistakes, I know that I have made my fair share which has pushed a lot of very special and important people in my life very far away - I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss them (I do). But I can't control who they are, what they do or how they think. I can only be me and be the best person I can be.
That means smiling at strangers, some choose to smile back, others just keep walking. You never know who's day your going to make, it just might be that right person.
it's def. a normal feeling. It's part of who we are, we are always seeking acceptance and everything can seem like a rejection. Try to look at these things like you just aren't needed at the moment or there is something wrong with the person you feel rejection from. Don't blame yourself when it comes to this. You're just acting normal!
Im the same way- i think its just normal- we take things to heart and too seriously all the time- if someone is having a bad day and doesnt talk to me, I automatically assume its something I did or they are mad at me.. Im trying to work on focusing on myself and letting things just flow and not taking things so seriously
It's totally normal, think about yourself, do you ever just not take the time to notice a person, or have something on your mind and don't what to talk, that's what I think about, and then you realize that they aren't rejecting you, they're just being human like you and me.
