Ostracism...

On this page
Our self-esteem can be affected when we are not connecting with other people.  When we have feelings of being separate and alone it is often hard to fight your way back to feeling ok about yourself.

How feeling ostracised can exacerbate self-esteem issues.

choosingchange  works with you on a systems based theory to help establishing effective ways of relating.  Boundaries and how you use them can help you feel less isolated.
Some people talk of feeling alienated and being alone

This is often exacerbated by feelings of ostracism or feelings of being ignored or overlooked. When we are ignored or get the cold shoulder from friends or work colleagues, what can you do?

Feelings of ostracism has harmful effects on your health. When you are excluded there is often the feeling that you are being punished — for not fitting in with the group norms; not agreeing with someone in a position of power; not going ailing with an accepted cultural practice of a company or group.

People who are ostracised are often at a loss to know why it has happened. And it is very difficult to approach someone and ask why. Often the people exerting the act do not even know they are doing it.

A helpful way of finding out what is happening is to approach someone you have some trust in, the person you most connect with in the group, and and ask them if they perceive any issue which could account for you being excluded.

Failing that are there any people outside of the group whom you can trust to be straight with you about these questions? Seeking support from friends or relatives is good way to finding some unbiased information.

If you are cut-off from family and friends another way to get some clarity is to see a counsellor for a couple of sessions, just to see if you are doing anything to promote the issue.


choosingchange sessions include practical steps to help you with your issues... specialising in assertiveness, clear communication education and including hypnotherapy and creative visualisation to identify what you really want and then activities and methods to help you get it.
choosingchange theory reflects human nature by encouraging free thinking, spontaneity and conscientious decision making.
