I can't stop thinking about it.
My sister said something hurtful to me a few months ago and for some reason, I can't stop thinking about it lately. We're both singers and we were auditioning for the same role. I shared with her my nervousness about not getting the part, and she said to me, "Do you really think you're gonna get it?" Next thing you know, my sister gets the part. She didn't say it with any maliciousness and I don't think she intended to be mean about it, but it still stung. I keep thinking about it now, especially since we both auditioned for a high-level singing program and she got in and I didn't. She didn't say anything this time, I think because I was so beat up about getting rejected, but still. I don't know why I'm so hung up on this when I really shouldn't be so upset over just a small comment made in passing. But I am and I guess I just needed to get my feelings out. I'm not going to talk with her over this because she'd get angry with me and I don't want to remind her of what she said. I just needed to get my feelings out.
@anxiouspup I'm sorry you're feeling this way. Hope you feel better soon *hugs*

We all make a big fuss sometimes out of things that are seemingly unimportant if they really caused us a consistent emotion, it's normal to feel like this time and again. If you look at it rationally and don't let it transform into something bigger it will be okay! :) good that you just let it out

Thanks for sharing. I hope you are feeling a bit about this by now. By being stuck to what you sister said about you, you are actually repeating the moment in your head over and over again, when every second of the day we are given a new chance, a new you, and a new moment. I know what it's hurtful and hard to think about what someone says about you because there really is nothing you can do to take what they've said back.
When a thing like this happens, jot down what you are feeling about this and rip it and throw it away after you are finished writing out your emotions. This always helps me get my mind off of what other people have said about me.
Stay blessed and sending love.
