Like they could disappear.

I wouldn't even notice.

It's that kind of vibe.

But suddenly when they draw away, it's almost like you're offended.

And then you do get a little bit hurt.

And you're like, wait, I thought you cared about me.

I thought you were interested in me.

When really you didn't even care.

But it's the premise of almost feeling rejected by someone.

And I think fear of rejection is...

like such a disease and it's so scary and it affects our self-confidence so much and a lot of that comes down to our ego when we feel unwanted by someone when we feel like someone suddenly doesn't care about us anymore when we feel like they're pulling back some of that is our ego some of that is like what like how could this person walk away from me like i'm gonna prove that i am worthy i'm gonna prove that i'm amazing i'm gonna prove that i do deserve their love and that they should care about me and that they should stick around and they should want to be around me

That is, I think, where a lot of it comes from, is the ego.

I think that all of us could use a good ego detox.

Your ego is, yes, like the way you view yourself and some egos can be bigger than others.

And a lot of that comes from a lack of personal self-love.

If you do not have strong love within yourself, you're going to have an extremely fragile ego.

I think a lot of people have heard that term before, fragile ego.

And that's essentially where if someone tells you something bad about yourself, if someone judges you, if someone leaves you, your ego is fragile, meaning maybe you get really defensive, you get really embarrassed, you feel really hurt by it.

And of course, anyone gets hurt by those things.

But if your self-love is strong enough, you don't feel the need to prove yourself to anyone else.
