Feeling left out is a difficult experience for everyone and is very common in practice, such as being excluded from group activities or being isolated. Facing a situation where you have been abandoned can lead to a range of volatile feelings such as sadness, anger, and confusion. However, at some point, everyone has to receive rejection from others, so the following ways can help you overcome feelings of abandonment and maintain balance in your life.

1. Accept true feelings

It's important to be honest that it's completely normal to feel uncomfortable when someone is excluded from a certain activity, even if they don't do it on purpose. Issues such as discomfort when co-workers drink coffee every morning without inviting you or feeling lonely when you find a chat group without your presence are a basic human emotion. In any case, taking time to clear your emotions and decide what to do next is what you should do instead of hanging around with negative thoughts. Things you can do to relieve your emotions include: Journaling, exercising, going for a walk, or simply breathing deeply.

2. Avoid jumping to conclusions too quickly


Acknowledging an unwise event can put you in an unwarranted negative state, so can the feeling of abandonment when people exclude you from their activities maybe just for the sake of good for you or have problems they can't invite you to join. It is not uncommon for a person to immediately conclude the worst when faced with an unexpected problem, the emotional stress then takes away the sanity needed to rationally explain the situation.
So instead of letting fear take over your mind, try to think logically and consider other angles and evidence of things. If you truly believe that people abandoned you because they really don't care about you, then consider whether there is any evidence to come to that conclusion, rather than just an unexpected situation. However, even if you come to the final conclusion after careful consideration, sometimes things still don't go as you think and being overly negative can affect your relationships.

Like when your friends are planning an activity and you don't have any feedback that you want to participate in it, it makes others think that you are not interested. It is impossible to judge how others feel about yourself especially when you have so many relationships, so advice from a loved one can be a solution to what you are experiencing. right.
