Being rejected isn't what hurt us but the expectations we placed on others that they fall short of. It is not a crime to have expectations but we need to strike a balance and make it a realistic one too. As long as we are all humans, nothing is certain.
It's perfectly okay to be rejected because not everyone would like you and that's a fact. You should be worried if everyone likes you anyway because it shows you have some insincere people in your fold or you are compromising who you are to make others accept you.
Rejection doesn't hurt that much as I mentioned earlier but our expectations just as lying doesn't kill either but denial of the obvious. It's an insult to those we lied to because we are saying they are not as smart as we think for them to pick out the lies.
Most people wish they can go back to make a new start and as exciting as that would be, and refreshing too, we can't. We have to make do with what we have. Forgetting doesn't heal us because it means we have to suppress the pains and hope it goes away, but it would come back stronger if we don't deal with it by picking out the lessons. Forgiving does the healing and it doesn't mean you have forgotten it only shows you have gotten to the point where remembering it won't hurt you as it first did.
We have to forge ahead in life and keep looking ahead. Situations would make it hard for us to look ahead and rightly so but we have to do it for the sake of everything we hold dear. For the sake of our sanity we have to keep moving.
People will hurt you, disappoint you, take your goodness for granted but that's how humans are. Living in denial of this would further hurt us. We have to accept the reality of human frailties and protect our heart by having moderate expectations of others while also learning how to forgive, not for them but for us.
Thank you for your time.
