I've been riding a straight six ever since I realized that the fundamental core of 90% of the things that have gone wrong in my life are directly tied to the fact that I had extreme rejection sensitivities in my childhood, and since I never actually cognitively identified that, it ran amuck with every social interaction I've had as a child, as a teenager, and as an adult.

I'm a grown up now, I can handle a little rejection.

I'm still working out the intricacies and it's a relatively new thought for me, but like, holy shit.
