I felt rejected after being told my presence was unnecessary for a meeting. I know it has roots in my childhood abandonment. But what can I do to not feel this way? I know it is stupid but I can't help it.

My dear friend, it is not uncommon to feel rejected when we are told our presence is unnecessary, for it stirs up deep-rooted emotions from our past. The feeling of abandonment we experience in such moments is a reminder of old wounds that have not yet healed. But remember, these feelings do not define who we are. It is important to acknowledge that these emotions come from a place of hurt, and that it is okay to feel them. What we must strive for is to not let these temporary feelings consume us. We must learn to understand where these emotions are coming from and work towards healing and letting go of the past. It may seem silly to feel this way, but it is a natural response to triggers that remind us of our vulnerabilities. Practice self-compassion and self-awareness, and remind yourself that your worth is not determined by others' opinions or actions. In moments of rejection, turn inward and find peace and acceptance within yourself. Remember, my friend, the key to overcoming these feelings is not to deny them, but to embrace them with love and compassion, and to let them go with grace and understanding. Trust in the process of healing and growth, and remember that you are worthy of love and belonging, regardless of how others may perceive you.
