Rejection

Being neglected and rejected by people is something I have experienced my entire life. This is the reason why I am so independent and introverted. My whole life people pushed me away and I was ignored by my family and now that I am getting older, by boys that I am interested in as well. When I was younger, it used to really upset me and make me feel like I was worthless and not important, and at times I still feel that way. But now that I am more grown up, I see it as people are loosing out on being close to a great, funny, nice person like myself. In the family and friends situation, it hurts a little more than the boys situation because they are the people that are supposed to be here for me no matter what, but I still try to not let it get to me. I just try to focus on myself more now.
