Believing you don’t belong can contribute to a loss of confidence and self-esteem. This can happen whether you’ve been left out for the first time or experience social rejection on a more regular basis. I have witnessed this feeling of exclusion many times with my little ones in class.  It often starts with “Miss, ______ don’t want to play with me.” This is definitely not a nice feeling at all. It makes an individual feel uncomfortable, sad, angry and confused.
