“Самоуважението ѝ бе пострадало при челен сблъсък с любовта - катастрофа, която като цяло свършва само по един начин. Любовта не играе честно. В този миг гордостта ѝ, твърдата увереност в правотата, та дори и усещането ѝ за себестойност не означаваха нищо пред лицето на перспективата да остане лишена от обич.”

“When we take rejection as proof of our inadequacies, it's hard to allow ourselves to risk being truly seen again. How can we open ourselves to another person if we fear that he or she will discover what we're trying desperately to hide—that we are stupid, boring, incompetent, needy, or in some way deeply inadequate? Obviously we won't meet many people's standards or win their affection, respect, or approval. So what? The problem arises when shame kicks in and we aren't able to view our flaws, limitations, and vulnerabilities in a patient, self-loving way. The fear of rejection becomes understandably intense when it taps into our own belief that we are lesser than others—or lesser than the image we feel compelled to project.”
