This then has played out over the years in that you have sought out some situations where [[rejection]] would be part of your [[relationship]]. My dear, you have unconsciously found rejection time and time again, even set up the scenario yourself at times. And this kind of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophrenia schizophrenic] feeling your have toward yourself, of alternately valuing and rejecting who you are, brings you in to situations where this will be part of the [[dynamic]], going from one to the other.

He will [[guide]] you into all that you need and you will learn to increasingly trust him as time goes on. Don’t worry my dear, you do well.

Q: I think I am holding on to a lot of old hurts and [[resentments]] from times when I felt like I was being unfairly treated or unjustly punished. I bring these feelings into present situations and it causes me to misread what other people are [[feeling]] and overreact, or avoid, or withdraw, or act in ways that are dishonest or unfair to others. I think this also leads me to do things that build walls between me and the people I say I love and it gives me the occasion to seek ways of [[escape]] or self-[[comfort]] that are destructive and self-[[isolating]].
