My Feelings Are Hurt

So, it's petty and it's immature.
I know I'm holding on to stuff.
I know I just need to "Let Go"

But, every time I am done with it - everytime I know that I feel good and have let go and am moving on, something else happens to pile on top of the first thing that maybe I didn't really let go.

I hate the "Poor Me" syndrome in people. It's a complete turnoff. I have little compassion after the first bout of it with someone. When I hear others complaining that they were forgotten, or left out on purpose, my advice is always the same: First, it's "I'm so sorry, is there any way you can talk with this person about it?" if the answer is no, then I tell them "Let it Go! Screw them! You're better than that! You can't go back and change it! If you say something to whomever it was and THEN they do something about it, you'll feel even worse, so all you can do is let it go! If it happens again, maybe seize the moment and express yourself."

But I didn't. And my feelings are hurt. And I know I won't say anything, because I feel like it's petty and selfish of me and I already know what each of their answers will be. I'm not guessing - I really know what their answers will be. So, I'll let my feelings be hurt until they aren't anymore, and then I'll move on. Things have obviously changed, and I need to just accept that.

And now it's time for me to take my own advice. dammit.
