Dear Girija:

“Correct me if I am wrong. But since I feel rejected by most people in my life now, I think I’ll be rejected in the future?” –

Corrected: since you feel rejected by YOURSELF, you think you’ll be rejected in the future by everyone.

You wrote earlier today: “I am disgusted by myself…  my body is disgusting… I think I’ve rejected myself” – see, it is YOU rejecting yourself

What can I say to make you stop rejecting yourself and start accepting yourself? Nothing. Is there anything you can say to yourself to make yourself stop rejecting you?

Maybe you can aim at considering that maybe, just maybe… maybe you are not disgusting? I mean, it’s disgusting to call yourself disgusting, isn’t it.
