When you are disliked, or feel that you are being disliked, by someone, what state of mind does it put you in? YOUTH: Very distressed, to put it simply. I wonder why I’ve come to be disliked, and what I did or said that might have been offensive. I think I should have interacted with the person in a different way, and I just brood and brood over it and am ridden with guilt.
I used to go on this guilt loop, too. Not that I have ever been fully conscious of it. But sometimes—it resurfaces. Only briefly.
