My dear Berries...I had typed out a response but apparently it didn't take when I hit POST. So sorry for what may have seemed like not being here to care.

I've had those thoughts too but really, the problem lies with the other person. That doesn't help the rejected feeling (I know all too well and have those almost daily at my work) but the best thing you can try to do is be true to yourself. Even some of the most altruistic people that have ever lived have been rejected by at least one person whether they even knew them or not. Buddha was rejected by some, Christ was rejected, Mohammed was rejected, Mother Theresa had her dissenters, HH. The Dalai Lama was rejected just recently by the President. (just as examples thought I'm sure there are many many others).

We can't really control how and why people act the way they do but all we can do is "try" to control how we feel about ourselves when faced with such a quandary. Knowing how we "should" handle things and how we actually do is akin to the difference between a theory and real life. Sometimes they work together and sometimes they're always at odds. If I had the absolute answer my friend I'd certainly share it with you.

Try to find some solace in knowing that many people here care very much about you and don't reject you, or ever will.

You're loved...all of you are loved.
