Monday #2

Now I'm beginning to wonder if the abandonment feeling has been causing all my avoidance of writing my resume' and applying for jobs. Fear of rejection seems awfully close to fear of abandonment. If the original pain was bad enough to have caused all this, I can see where I'd continue to try to avoid it.  The codependency of it is that I believe I must please everyone, that any rejection of not being wanted or needed enforces the original abandonment feelings. I'll have to change that belief too.

I read someplace that one of the most self-sabotaging things a person can do in life is to try to please everyone all the time.
