Queer spaces can celebrate bodies—but also scrutinize them. When desirability is currency, shame follows. You deserve rest, pleasure, and love outside of how you look. #Chapter9 #BodyConsciousCulture

You’re allowed to grieve rejection and still know you’re whole. You’re allowed to be hurt and not give up. Rejection is part of being real—not a sign you’re broken. #Chapter8 #ManagingRejection

Rejection sensitivity can be heightened for queer folks who’ve faced exclusion, bullying, or invisibility. Healing begins with recognizing this isn’t overreacting—it’s unhealed pain.#Chapter8 #ManagingRejection

What do you say to yourself after rejection? Is it kind? Harsh? What could you say instead that would feel more healing? #Chapter8 #ManagingRejection

Not everyone has the capacity to see you clearly. Rejection often says more about their limitations than your value. That doesn’t make it hurt less—but it does make it less true. #Chapter8 #ManagingRejection

Psychodynamic angle: Who was the first person to make you feel unwanted? That template may still shape how you respond to rejection now. Explore, don’t judge. #Chapter8 #ManagingRejection

CBT practice: When you feel rejected, try writing out the story your mind is telling you. Then underline what's fact vs. interpretation. You’ll often find more compassion. #Chapter8 #ManagingRejection

Rejection can feel like proof of every fear we carry. For queer folks, it often hits an old nerve—one that says, You’re not enough. But rejection doesn’t define your worth. #Chapter8 #ManagingRejection
