Hmm...not particularly. I guess I just assume that if people don't accept me than we're not meant to be close friends. Now, I might feel differently if I moved to a place where I didn't know a single soul.

I struggled with this until I received Christ as my Savior, and as I've grown in my walk with the Lord through the years, He has healed me of the hurt from the past and I don't struggle with that anymore. <br /><br />I would love to read this book.

The Psych student in me wonders how many of us struggle(d) with trying to feel acceptance from our parents. Trying to measure up to expectations. Sometimes that kind of struggle seeps into our peer relationships, don'Trish Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983379845476025642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18474714.post-54981539670953419422010-09-01T16:47:52.420-04:002010-09-01T16:47:52.420-04:00I think we all do sometimes.

I think most people do struggle with this at various times in their lives.
