Realizing why I have been nursing grudges

I have been carrying a grudge against a few former toxic friends and while I am working on letting go, I still have those days where I feel angry. This morning I really wanted to tell them off. However, I got my feelings down in my journal, took several breaths, and meditated.

During the meditation, it came to me that when they chose other people over me, I wasn't good enough for them. The reason why I feel this way is because I often feel like people tend to ditch me a lot when someone else comes along.

@Summershy Hey Summer! It sounds like you've been doing a lot of work to better understand yourself and your feelings. It can be really hurtful when it seems a friend has ditched us for something better. It can make us feel like nobody cares about us. I'm glad you're able to find ways to sit with your feelings and work through them. Keep being amazing!

Hi, it’s not been with people who I thought were friends. I have also had family members pull this back when I was little.
