I do not like being rejected. I get angry. I want to leave. Underneath it, I feel defective. Not quite good enough. This happens as a pattern especially in social relationships. i.e. I text someone and invite her to coffee and they don't even text back. I am not invited to be on the board of so and so but my friend is. I ask a lady to sponsor me and she says no. Now there may be good reasons to these rejections and I know I shouldn't take them personally. But I do. They turn into resentments. Not good for an alcoholic. Resentments cause us to want to drink. I have to be careful. How to deal with rejection...anybody know???
