Episode 44 - Why Rejection Feels Like You Are Not Enough

Have you ever found yourself thinking about a relationship that didn't turn out the way you hoped?

Maybe it was a friendship that slowly faded.

Maybe someone you cared deeply about stopped reaching out.

Maybe you were always the one sending the text, making the phone call, or asking to get together.

Or maybe you simply realized that the relationship mattered more to you than it seemed to matter to them.

And then...almost without realizing it...your mind quietly asked a question that had nothing to do with the relationship itself.

"What's wrong with me?"

I've discovered that our minds are incredibly quick at connecting those two things.

A relationship changes...

...and somehow we conclude that we must have changed.

Someone becomes distant...

...and somehow we wonder if we're no longer enough.

I don't think we do that on purpose.

I think our minds are simply trying to explain pain.

Today, I want to have an honest conversation about that.

Because I think many of us are answering one of life's biggest questions with the wrong evidence.
