why is it so hard to NOT take things personally?

why does it hurt so badly even though you tell yourself it is "not about you"?

it hurts anyway. it just does. it hurts.

so hurt

I know how you feel. It's so hard to believe things aren't personal. Sending lots of hugs.

It seems to me that very, very little that is in this world is personal for me. I'm as insignificant as a speck of dust.

Big Hug For You!

I know exactly how you feel. I battle these thoughts too. Sometimes it's like "if it isn't personal, then I have no identity at all." I don't know if that makes sense. Either feeling is really disheartening.

Hugs for you
Thanks for this!

I'm sorry your feeling bad. I know how that feels. When thinking about your post I realized that to keep from having to figure out what is personal and what is not (as decided by other people), I just decide that nothing is personal, but that just feels lonely all the time. I hope you feel better.
