Being left out by friends and family can be an experience that brings up feelings of rejection, loneliness, and isolation especially after experiencing emotional abuse. But when you’re a professional single mom, the fear of being left out carries a whole different weight. In this blog post, let’s explore the common struggles that arise when you feel left out and offer practical tips to empower you to overcome this fear and build a supportive network that nurtures your growth and wellbeing.
The Fear of Being Left out
As a busy mom who has experienced emotional abuse your priority has always been juggling work, kids, and personal responsibilities. If you feel like you are being left out by a friend, it just may be that your friend wanted to hang out with another friend. This is totally normal and ok. The problem comes in when you fear abandonment from your friends or family. This can happen if you have been in an unhealthy relationship where you have experienced emotional abuse. If you have received the silent treatment after an argument, this may be the root cause of the fear of abandonment. The silent treatment is the worst type of emotional abuse because, the other person is ignoring you like you don’t exist. If you are determined to heal these deep emotional wounds, I personally like the self-healing method.
The Fear of Rejection
When you feel left out, it may be natural for you to think that others don’t want to be around you. This is especially true for those who have been in unhealthy relationships. Remember, these are your feelings. They are not always right. This can trigger deep feelings of rejection and feed a negative self-image. It’s so important to acknowledge these feelings and not avoid them. Instead of seeking validation and acceptance from others, cultivate self-love and self-compassion. Surround yourself with people who are like you. It just may be as simple is that you don’t have a connection or the same values.
The Fear of Not Belonging
At the root of the fear of being left out is the fear of not belonging. As a single mom, you may feel like you don’t fit in with other moms or with your peers at work. Maybe you feel emotionally fragile and it makes you feel uncomfortable. To overcome this fear, I can’t stress to you enough to acknowledge these feelings. In addition, it’s important to recognize your values so you can identify with like-minded women. Look for groups and communities that share your values, interests, and experiences. Engage in activities that nourish your heart and bring you joy. Remember that you are not alone – there are many other single moms who are going through the same challenges as you, and who would love to connect and support each other.
One last Thing…
Feeling left out can be a challenging and an isolating experience, but it doesn’t define who you are. By understanding your fears, acknowledging them instead of avoiding them can help you overcome them. It’s important to build a supportive network of people who love, appreciate, and uplift you. As a single mom, you have unique strengths, values, and goals that make you a valuable member of any community.
