DEALING WITH OSTRACIZATION & ALIENATION
I am still pissed off at witnessing rude and cruel behavior to beautiful people by social turds. >:-[ I hope that these postings will help the beautiful to overcome the turds in the end.

DEALING WITH OSTRACIZATION & ALIENATION
Some people never have to deal with this one while others are subjected to it for what feels like their entire life. It is hard enough making friends, but what do you do when others actively seek to exclude you? How do you deal when people go out of their way to keep you marginalized? What do you do when "persona non grata" becomes your name? How do you cope when those who you once called friends are the ones who have marked you for exile?
Your first step has to be detachment. You have to really stop caring that others want to exclude you. This is incredibly difficult but essential. It is essential for two reasons; if you care too much the damage to your self esteem can be debilitating and counter productive, and while you still react or come across as hurt the nasty people who want to hurt you will keep up the effort. By detaching and giving off an attitude of, "No matter what you say, I am worthwhile and I am comfortable being me!" you will have won half the battle and saved your sense of self.

Well stated, nice site too, young, beautiful, and compassionate creature. :) All reality is observer created, what it means to you could mean something totally different to the person interpretating it.
So very true.... it is all a matter of interpretaion. I (as can anyone), can only view the world through my own (sensitive) eyes and mind-set. :-) To me, the mass of the world lacks in compassion, but alas, I digress....
