I don't cope or deal well at all. It's a huge trigger for me and one I find it hard to work at.

Rejection for me means I disappointed someone and reinforces my negative opinions of myself. Like you, I run away and isolate. I hide. I get really scared and anxious.

I'm working at recognising that there can be disagreement without rejection, and that there can be ending of relationships without that necessarily meaning rejection. It's a very very hard one for me, though.
