Affirmation: Coping With Rejection
Encountering too many inappropriate situations to meet folks can make me sad.
Avoid over-concern over strategies to avoid rejection. It is a nobler effort to learn how to deal with rejection when it strikes me.
Somehow, avoid interpreting events as failures. Too many failures can bring me down. I should be upbeat, positive, and receptive when hunting for new dates.
I get down at times because I expect myself to just walk right up to anyone who catches my eye and start talking. Rarely does this happen.
Keeping the psyche high is essential to success in interactions with strangers. Abundant self-esteem and joy with an unlimited ability to replenish what I lose to rejection will assuage my fears of taking the initiative.
For any sad thought, decide whether I can fix the situation to which they refer. If so, fix it. If not, let it go and refuse to clutter my mind obsessively with them anymore.
For me, the whole [Emeebee] situation is a dead issue. Nothing further to be gained by further contemplation.
Tom, I love you.
