Herpes Rejection: How I Deal With It

A question where I investigated the role of herpes and how those affect sexual tensions between herpes positives and herpes negatives will include snippets of participant contributions. If you want to listen to the entire podcast, you can do the information below or in the card, which appears excellent. I could tell from the recurring questions that I get asked from you guys about it but also because you know no matter how far along I am in my acceptance of herpes, it still scares me too; it's so potential outcome that I face every time I disclose my herpes status some people ask me whether you have ever been rejected because of your herpes diagnosis and the answer is yes, of course, it did happen. Hence, rejection is probably the most dating potential outcome of disclosure.

It only happens that you know some people don't feel confident getting intimate with me due to my herpes diagnosis, and it did hurt. Still, it didn't hurt more than when I got rejected because I didn't share the same religious beliefs as my former partner or because it was taller than a target when I was 12 already more because you know as a kid I wanted to play soccer with some kids in my class. They're like no, it's only for boys and what I'm getting at is that I didn't have to wait to catch her piece of experience rejection. I have been experiencing rejection since I was a kid and will probably experience rejection for a very long time for different reasons, not just for people with herpes.

So whether you're rejected for your ethnicity, for your religious beliefs for your generous research, or preference for personality traits of yours for your STI, for whatever reason a person can try to reject your rejection always hurts because you know it always feels unfair it always feels enclosed on you, and it always feels humiliating and like I said I and most likely you didn't have to wait to catch herpes to save rejection and deal with rejection also I mean let's not hide behind our fingers here like you probably rejected people too and so did I for reasons that they probably felt were unfair and yet it happened because rejection is just part of limping with a capital L like you know meeting people falling in love pursuing your passions trying to be successful you know professionally artistically or whatever it is a risk of that whole unpredictable wild ride that we call life and don't let it prevent you from being a part of it.

Now with herpes dating sites, I tend to take things a little more personally because, unlike a religious belief, it's not something that was particularly proud or happy to carry or that we wish to use to define ourselves. Still, you know what I wanted or not, purview this part of your body, and it's part of you. It is something that central part we'll have to embrace and reject as part of deciding whether the want to get intimate with you or not, so I'm going, be honest here even though some of you will think like renewing is not very uplifting. Still, I'd rather tell it like it is and just make up some up to get worthless, but one of the things that I learned, and I was able to witness from being able to talk about sexual health so openly, is that there is a lot of hypocrisy in how people relate to sexual health.

People who have been somewhat section reacted let's say this has like five or six different sexual partners in the last time are unlikely to have the explosive different SBI's including turkeys even though the first is rejecting you is likely not to have gotten tested in a while and probably doesn't typically ask whoever you want to hook up with if they have gotten tested recently your honest disclosure is a reminder that no matter how much they neglected in their everyday life there is a risk to being sexually active. It's almost impossible to get away from, and that's scary as even though most transmission cases of herpes happen from people.
