How do you ignore feelings of not being good enough after rejection? (female, friend)

[JBT1980]

I try not to internalize rejection so much and take it personally but after every rejection I feel like somethings wrong with me and I’m not good enough.

How do you shake that feeling?

Have you tried thinking back to times that you were wanted? To remind yourself that you're want-able?

I knew this sounded familiar.

So you didn't find an answer out of the 18 pages you managed to get the last time you posted this?

How often are you experiencing this? Are you still moping because your female friend didn't want a sexual relationship with you?

You ignore feelings in the first place, never act on them and ultimately train yourself not to develop them at all.

I don't know how I does it, I jus' does it. Saves a lot of pain and sleepless nights.

And what if you don’t have any of those experiences to fall back on?

Remind yourself of some nice person that you didn't 'want' romantically for whatever reason

And what if that also never happened?
