hmmmm blogging......
There are many times a person feels rejected in a lifetime. Every time you are rejected it hurts and puts you in a bad mood. The good news is that our psychological immune system protects us and our good moods usually come back within the next ten minutes of the rejection. Why does it hurt more when there are many people rejecting you instead of just one? It's because when we are rejected by one person we tell ourselves that the person who rejected us just has a different individual preference for people. When there is a group rejection it is harder to put the blame on the people rejecting you because there are multiple rejections, not just one person's preference.

Ok I think everyone that goes to public school can relate to this. There are those that feel like their best friends have rejected them and they become mad at them for a little while, but eventually they are talking to each other as if nothing happened. Then there are those times in school when you think a group of people have done something to you and you just aren't sure what the heck is going on.
ReplyDeleteI agree, most kids at a public school would have to deal with this. Especially the transition from Jr. High to High School, this is the time that you find who your true friends are. You find that the people who were your friends when you little are not really your friends at all.
