So here’s where it gets personal… No, I never joined the hippies or protested anything, but my tendency in dealing with rejection is to act preemptively.
Can’t cope with the popular kids? Fine.
I’ll make friends with the kids who actually need friends. Don’t think I’ll make the team? Fine.
I just won’t try out. Relationship
not working out? Fine. I’ll bail before I get a chance to get even
more hurt.
Kind of a passive-aggressive rebel attitude, I guess, but
Neil’s point is still valid: as long as I’m
looking to evaluate my worth on what or who is around me, I’m looking in the
wrong place. It’s when my value and
identity is found in Christ that I’m secure.
