But that kind of a person who has been humbled by life whether they have herpes or not is going to see a herpes disclosure not as oh herpes but as oh yeah you have baggage too hi I'm adriel creator of the herpes opportunity which is all about positively shifting your mindset disclosing to potential partners in a way that truly connects you and ultimately finding the love that you want and deserve you can check out the free ebook linked in the description below about having the talk and now onto the video I hope you enjoy it if you ask someone who is who has a lot of shame in general or anxiety about life intimacy sex they might tell you oh my god yeah it was horrible for me every single time that I've disclosed I've gotten rejected every single [ __ ] time does that tell you anything about herpes or does that tell you about the person who's disclosing and the people that they're choosing to disclose to just and there's a whole host of factors involved so if you are going to be asking people what's your experience with this you also ...

... kind of have to get to be fair again you have to get the fuller picture what kind of person was this person before they got herpes what kind of relationships did they have before herpes like I mean you one person who's just like a a wonderful human being and caring and loving and another person who treats people like [ __ ] whatever and they both happen to have herpes they're gonna have very different relationships when you put them side by side and it doesn't have anything to do with herpes it has to do with them and it's it's yeah you might you might end up finding someone who does happen to have like a really negative outlook on what herpes means but again it's up to you whether you take that on to make that mean that you're some dirty person so if if you were to disclose to someone then it's really going to depend on their own perspective on it right so if you get rejected by it well first of all it just means that it's it wasn't it wasn't a good fit right not just because of um you know how she might see you but how she sees something that you have right so it's not just you as a person it's also whatever baggage because now herpes is part of your baggage right um and everyone's got it ...

... so you know I I like to think of it like there are going to be people who who might not have a lot of that kind of life experience of having baggage right they may have had like a pretty easy life and they got you know they had such an easy life that they get to just judge all those people who are fat who have herpes who are ugly like all these different ways that we can just kind of sit on our high horse and look at all those people out there with problems and be like oh well thank god I'm not one of those people but the second that that kind of person gets herpes or something happens to them that humbles them it humbles them so that kind of person who gets humbled by life which eventually everyone does eventually some people it just takes a longer time than others right um but that kind of a person who has been humbled by life whether they have herpes or not is going to see a herpes disclosure not as oh herpes but as oh yeah you have baggage too okay yeah I have baggage and this is my baggage right cool we're both adults that's all that means right but if someone were to reject you solely on herpes then it it either means that they have a really really negative association with ...

... a simple virus or they haven't really gone through those things in life that would have humbled them to the to the extent where they could actually see that as just another thing that adults have to go through in life well I hope you got a lot out of that video and if you did please let me know please like comment and subscribe and keep an eye out for more videos just like this you

"The kind of person who has been humbled by life is going to see your herpes disclosure not as 'Eww, herpes!' but as 'Yeah, you have baggage, too?"

So many of us can take rejection so personally, especially when it comes to the herpes talk. And it totally makes sense why ... it's of course super vulnerable and our sexuality is such a core part of us. But there are just so many layers to consider before you take a rejection as 100% because of who you are as a person. But what if it's nothing personal? What if it's part of the process of finding the right one for you?
