Many of us must learn what it means to receive. We block the gifts sent to us, do not say "Thank you" for them. We may feel they are our due, or that they are not good enough, that we deserve more and better. Rather than be grateful, we may be fuming inside.

Rejection is one of the most painful experiences in relationship- not only rejection from others, but our rejection of ourselves. Many of our defences and interpersonal manipulations are created to avoid this blow to our sense of worth. In order to avoid the experience of being rejected, many reject others first. This ensures them of being the one in power, not crushed and left behind.
