One reason why rejection hurts so much — A poem/article

My old confusions stare back at me as my mental health processes the rejection as an evaluation. My negative self-judgement receive confirmation. My confidence, threadbare and pulled out by the roots. My social anxiety became more noticeable than me.

The temporary pain caused by another not feeling the same is comprehensible and admirable. My incorrect negative self-judgement is responsible for the story in the dissatisfaction. I am completely incomplete. I remain an undervalued clean slate.

My lack of experience is all I understand. Just once I would like to be first in line to be surprised.

Rejection has no cruel intention. It is displeasure. Although it is also a friend that challenges the utilization of lessons learnt.

To force fear back into chains and to never break a self-promise so the conclusion will increase self-confidence. Tolerance will replace discomfort with a shrug of the shoulders. Indecisions will only embrace solutions. Until the journey that is revealing is knocking on the windows and hours become meaningless.
