rejection of any kind is really hard. give yourself time to be disappointed, and remember that some things are out of your control. You aren’t a bad person. You are a worthy person. And when its time, pick yourself up again and keep going
You cannot get mad at your friend/significant other for expressing what upsets them. You can’t. Even if it isn’t deep to you, it may be a serious matter to them. They’re upset for a reason. Genuine consideration is key.
It’s time to kill the idea that we can only grow and heal when we’re uncomfortable. You heal every time you have a good conversation with someone. You heal every time you laugh. You heal every time something makes you smile genuinely. You heal every time you have fun creating something - anything. You heal every time you get so absorbed in something fun that you forget your struggles for a while. There is, in fact, lots of healing and growth to be found INSIDE your comfort zone.
