What happened? Did something specific happen that made you feel that way?

Yes, I tried to reach out to someone to give them a pat on the back and they just recoiled in disgust.

I'm sorry that happened. Did you explain why you were reaching out to them?

No, I didn't get the chance. They just walked away after recoiling.

Maybe the person was having a bad day and wasn't in the mood for physical contact. It doesn't necessarily mean that they don't accept you.

But it feels like rejection. It reminds me of all those times I felt like an outsider.

I understand. But remember that not everyone will accept or understand us. It's important to focus on the people who do appreciate us for who we are.

You're right. I just need to remind myself of that.

I try my best. Let's just focus on moving forward and being confident in ourselves.
