How well do you handle rejection ?

I have been through many rejection in life. Not only in relationship, but in life means the whole life. LOL. I have got my assignment rejected, I have got my money rejected, I have got my application rejected, I have got several rejection about me being myself. Not only rejection from the society, I also have got some rejection from myself, and that's the hardest thing to be handle. But then from those rejection I realized and learn that we cannot please all people in this world, we have to drop something to get our priority. Now, I see if I have to make people accept me, means I have to reject myself, I would choose the opposite. Because for me being me is the priority in my life. I used to take rejection in the hard way. I got angry, felt down and really upset with myself and tend to punish myself. Now I see it as something that happens everyday. People got rejected everyday and I believe that many people has worse rejection than what I have experienced. I think with this positive mind, I can take those rejection better now :)

I'm not very good at it. But I've gotten better at it in the last few years. I'm trying to realize that alot of times, if I get rejected, there's probably alot of reasons behind it than just me, or that I'm not good enough, or pretty enough, or smart enough, or talented enough, or whatever. Being rejected dosn't mean there are things wrong with me. I guess whatever I'm being rejected for is just meant to be, or not be, and I just need to move on.

I am coping well right now. But it took me ages to recover over it. It was hard enough to grasp but time is a wonderful healer.

I think I handle rejection good. I get upset at teh tiem but I get over it just as fast. It hurts when somebody rejects you but then you know that they don't matter anyway cause if htey did they would not have rejected you to begine with. It is harder when you like the person though or you really wanted something but you move on and things get better with time.

I think I do handle rejection well since I was in sales before and in insurance business. It's job wherein I had to deal with rejections everyday. However, there are instances that being rejected really bothers me especially if the reason is very personal. I loose sleep and can't seem to get my mind off and I keep on thinking they why's. but then I would just pull out myself from such worries and get on with my life. Some takes time to recover but what is important I guess that I recovered.

Well lets face it no one ever liked being rejected. I handle rejection differently. It depends on what I am being rejected for. If I am offering help and I got rejetced then it is just okay. But if for example I applied for a job and I got rejected, then of course there is some anger. But What I do is divert my attention by doing something I like.

That is an excellent discussion.Well it depends on the people who reject me.I don't care as long as I am not rejected by my wife and kid.I can cope up with any rejection and in fact I will be very happy to burn my bridges with the ones who rejects me.I can handle my life myself.

I hate it, I hate it a lot. I get this sinking feeling and a knot in the middle of my abdomen and it stinks! But, I also can get past it, once I get over my initial reaction. Sometimes it causes me to be angry, sometimes to be sad and sometimes both. Most of the time it causes me to take action, maybe not about the situation but in my life. I don't like to let such things stop me from living my life. There are worse things than rejection that I have suffered in my life. If I can deal with those things, I can deal with rejection. That does not make is stink any less.

I'm very good with rejection I just emotionally cut off from it..I've very often wondered where I acquired this behaviour from because I know deep down I'm hurting but somehow I convince myself it doesn't matter to me at all.
