I ask this because it’s not about handling it, it’s about how to let go once it’s already taken place and detach from the emotions behind it.
I know we cannot blame others for how we feel or say they caused certain feelings or emotions by their words and actions, but at the same time we can be hurt and affected by others behaviour and most definitely be triggered by it as well.
At the end of the day it’s easy to say that rejection from others doesn’t mean anything if you love and value yourself, but in practice and when things come down to it there’s still that little voice that says it’s because we’re not good enough or lacking in some way, and would be happier or liked better if we do blah blah blah.
That craves the reassurance and connection that comes from positive interactions and validation.
Would love to hear feedback and thoughts on this as it’s something I’m struggling with a bit mentally to process.
