Rejection

Post Reply New Topic

I had a bad dream last night about me walking around town. A couple of friends of mine were also walking around town, but in a different direction. As I saw them walking in front of me, I followed them. I followed them all the way towards a supermarket about a mile away from where I was. I didn't get a chance to let them know I was there until after we came to the supermarket. When I finally ran into them and got their attention, they got weirded out and I was left with no choice but to walk back where I came from. I walked fast because I was probably being considered a stalker.

One of my greatest fears of all is rejection, since I've put up with it for too long. I'm afraid that one of these days, I might end up rejected by these friends of mine or that I might try too hard to get their attention. The problem is that we have different lifestyles, where they have other friends while I have hardly any. I don't want to be a bother or be called a stalker. The only thing I really ask for is acceptance.

I know that many of you also have this problem. Any thoughts on this?

I'm ready to kill myself over it right now... although I doubt I will but I feel like BS. Rejection is horrible for me or anyone.

I hope that your dream doesn't come true.

Has happened to me too many times before (along with the dreams.) I know how it feels. Now, I just hang on the periphery and don't get myself attached to any rings, so to speak. If I feel myself getting too involved, I withdraw because I know that if I do get involved too much, the rejection is bound to come.

I'm rejeted so frequently by new friends that it doesn't bother me anymore. I just expect it to happen.

Ditto on the dreams. Had almost the exact same one, minus the supermarket stuff.

Also, ditto on the "feeling like a stalker" thing. Especially when I was younger, my emotions were hard to control and I was often perceived as involving myself in someone I liked almost to the creepy point. Yep, been there.
