    Self-Reflections
    1. When there's a sense of invalidation, what is it that I'm feeling invalidated about and where is this coming from?
    2. What is it that I need to give myself right now?
    3. No one can reject you unless you're rejecting yourself. Are you rejecting yourself?
    4. Have a conversation with someone who is a good listener or self-journal about the issue to bring it out of your head so that you can look at it with objectivity.
