Puzzled man Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 I was implictly rejected by a friend of a friend who is far more attractive than me*, and this has made me feel so worthless. However, the existence of this feeling means that I must have an internalised a belief that I had a legitimate chance of being accepted - I would not have felt this if we were talking about a movie star, for example. So I'm not sure that the problem is that I feel worthless or that I have an inflated sense of my own self worth. What do you think? Thanks *I am smart, funny and nice (don't take my word...); she's smart, funny, nice and beautiful.
FitChick Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 If you feel you are worthless (a common core belief developed in childhood) you will attract people and situations that prove you are 'right,' until you eliminate that belief. In my opinion, based on experience, the best and quickest way to eliminate a core belief is through The Lefkoe Method.

If she'd been snotty I'd have thought, too bad. Of course you have an internalised belief in yourself. Why wouldn't you? She was unfriendly, you are disappointed by that. What am I missing here?
