7 Ways Rejection Causes Us Pain
Rejection goes deep into our essence or souls, causing pain and a knowing we are unworthy of anything, definitely not love. We know we are not wanted, and others have rejected what we offer. We have nothing else to offer. That translates to –we are nothing and have no value. Boy! Here are seven reasons we need to heal from rejection.
- Rejection degrades us emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. We can be free of its chains.
- We develop coping skills to cope with the pain from rejection. These coping skills are not always good ones. Addictions, stealing, lying, being busy, please pleaser, sports, etc., are among some of them.
- I don’t want to be rejected anymore. I want a better way to live!
- My life is a mess, and I can’t fix it.
- I am living the life of trauma my family did to me.
- I hate myself.
- I want to love and be loved. I am not treating myself or others with love.
- Journal about your history and your experiences of rejection.
- Which one, or ones of the above reasons, fits where you are now?
- What keeps you from your healing journey?
- If you are healing, is there rejection blocking your progress, trying to make you look like you can’t do it? Journal about it.
