Food Preferences.

That's how I have learned to deal with rejection without it taking a blow to my self-worth...

Instead of "I am not good enough", my thinking is "He prefers pasta and I am obviously rice"...

And as far as I know, nobody can help their food preferences, you like what you like, you eat what you eat without judgement or repercussions...

The rejection still stings, I am still dissapointed, but my self-esteem and self-worth are still intact, because there is absolutely NOTHING I can do to suddenly become pasta, its not my fault.
