I Am No Stranger to Rejection

Feeling different is not much different than actual pain. Studies from MRI scans have shown that the same areas of the brain that respond to physical pain also react to being hurt by rejection. As far as your brain is concerned, a broken heart is no different from a broken arm.

Although in experience, a broken arm is quicker and easier to heal.

Your mind is the key to pain.
Know when you mull over what was done to you, then you perpetuate that pain. We all get rejected in life, it is the time that we give to this rejection that makes the difference. (Poor Me)
Leave the past in the past where it belongs.
