  • Just because someone isn’t interested in talking or hanging out doesn’t automatically mean they’re rejecting you as a person.
  • If someone does reject you, that doesn’t mean that you’re worthless or unlovable.

Familiarity and repeated exposure can sometimes make you like someone more (or less if you think they are annoying).

My Sister (Friend) Megan and I

  • Do I feel better after spending time with this person?
  • Do I feel free to be myself around this person?
  • Do I feel safe, or do I feel like I have to watch what I say and do?
  • Is the person supportive of me? Does he or she treat me with respect?
  • Is this a person I feel that I could trust?
  • If hanging out with this person required a 1-hr commute, would you still do it?
  • Do you mainly communicate through social media?
