Is it normal feeling like this when you accept rejection?

4 Comments

I feel very easily rejected by everyone and by very small things people do, like not answering my text messages back etc., but when I think about the big picture, I was actually rejected by everyone in my life. Even by my own family since childhood, when I accepted this as reality instead of feeling sad or lonely, I actually feel free, I feel strong, even happy. Because even though the whole world turned their backs on me for whatever reason my whole life, I'm still here. I still got myself, I think it is only now I actually love myself for who I truly am. Is this normal? Or is this something everyone go through but I just happen to be 22 year old immature guy?"

    It's normal, relying on other people for happiness usual doesn't work out that well so being your own best friend is a good thing in my opinion. Some people never learn to love themselves so good for you man! Plus this way you can do whatever you actually want to do in life instead of living the way others want you to.

    I wish I could be as happy as you are about it. I am still stuck in the "no one likes you, go die in a hole" phase.

    Completely normal. In fact, I think its quite mature and healthy. A lot of young people are still dependent on what other people think of them. You're self-reliant. You can take care of yourself, and that's a great trait to have.
