Date Posted: 5/01/07 10:44 Hello Sweetsong I think Ash & Sam are right - rejection is something most people fear. You need to remember that she liked you when she met you, so unless you do or say anything to make her think otherwise, why would she not like you now? Sounds to me like you need to build up your confidence a bit. I used to stand in front of a mirror every day and make affirmations to myself when I was at a real low and had no confidence in myself. This worked for me but Im not saying it will necessarily work for you. Also, finding something that you are really good at (everyone is good at something) and getting really involved in it will boost your confidence no end. I have friends whom I have known for years whom I dont always see a lot of or speak to very often. One of whom travels all over the world (lucky girl) and I dont see her for months. She'll pick up the phone out of the blue and say "is the kettle on"! She'll then come and see me and its as if we only saw each other yesterday. There are no conditions to our friendship - I understand her lifestyle and she mine. What Im trying to demonstrate here is that you dont need to be inside each others pockets - true friends, and as Ash rightly says it can take years to build a bond, are there for each other whenever and whatever. Take care hun & stop worrying. Lil [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
