So apparently I'm unlovable and not worthy of any human contact.

Dear D&C,
It's normal to lose heart when things go bad... as in arguments, resentment and rejection.... We tend to get lost in extreme reactions when we experience emotional pain.... as your last line indicates; "So apparently I'm unlovable and not worthy of any human contact..." Just be careful not to fall into the trap of falling for that.... as tempting as it may feel.... Beleiving in not being worthy gives us the justification to close our hearts in anger and this anger becomes a compensatory comfort to get us through the hardship... Instead, it is far healthier to accept and feel the loss cleanly and courageously without losing sight of being a worthy and lovable human being....
