It hurt so much when all of a sudden you're rejected with the person you care so much, and you don't know the reason. So what would do when the person you care about rejected you? How would you feel?

It will hurt for sure, but I don't feel much about it. Accepting or rejecting a person is a complete personal decision and we can't always except others to accept us only because we like others. There are certain constrains or limitations. I don't feel much about the rejection. World is filled with lots of people and I will feel confident than I can find somebody who cares about me and accepts me.

Right we really cannot force ourselves to someone. Doing that will only make things worst. You will just end up hurting yourself more. So no more... move on.

Yeah, there might be people who will reject you but there's also someone who will accept and love you that's for sure. We're all unique individuals with different likes and dislikes, so we can't make them like us the way we want. And it's not good either to expect them.

i haev such experience in my highschool, she was considered as my good freiend. In our highschool, we had relative seats and she was just one of my mates. I was so naive and thought we were good friends and shared each other's confidential till she turned off her back to me. Firstly, I was ao confused and couldn't understand why she became so cool toward to me. Later, another friend told me that maybe my behavior offended her. Frankly speaking, I felt very upset that time. Not only the one i care reject me but at that time i feel what i had or have done is not always accept by the ones i think who can understand me.
After this little accident, we had a cold war. But after a fighting, we became good friends again, now our relationship become better and better.

Well good for you, and it's good to hear that your friendship were going better and stronger as I would likely say.
People reject us for so many reasons most of the time it's them who only know since it's their choice and decision. Some it's because of our fault or attitude that they can no longer bear to live with them. But for whatever reasons, still it hurts and the best thing is to let them go.
Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

Well it's part of our life where we experienced not being needed anymore especially those people whom we care a lot. I have been through with that. And it's hard to accept and it hurts deep down to the inner core of my bone.LOL Anyway it's always better to talked to the person and yeah to save relationship as much as possible than to just let it slipped away.
Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

The pain of rejection is the most painful thing to dealt with especially if you received that from a person whom you didn't expect. It is always wise to ask the person the reason behind that rejection. Ask in a polite way. Do not take it against the person for she has her own choice and decision. We must learn to accept rejections and defeats. Everything has its reason, if the person didn't choose to tell us the reason, give ourselves reasonable answer by making ourselves believe on some possible reasons.
Truly time heals. We can get over that pain in time.

Very well said lovelyn. Yeah, it absolutely hurts. And too bad there's a lot people who sometimes take advantage of the kindness of the person and when they think that they no longer needed him/her they just automatically drop and reject the poor one with no reason at all. But yeah, life's like that. And it's only wise to move on and let go of the person.

I never felt rejected by the the people I love. Because from the beginning through the relationship, I just give love and care unconditionally. So how can I feel angry or sad? If love and affection which I gave without any charges. As God is giving love and affection. Even if until I feel sad, I just accept the situation. Like day and night to accept.

Oh, you must have a big heart. It's kinda rare nowadays someone like you who can give love unconditionally. And yeah that's the best thing when you give love without expectation, you'll never get disappointed and hurt. It's like some instances when you say "good morning" and the person just ignore you, some would felt bad because they expect that person to do the same, while you are not affected because you just want to say "good morning."
Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

Yeah, it's best to confront those person so we know what we did to him/her than just ignoring the same and assuming whatever we like. Because probably we did something wrong that hurt the person and we're not aware of that. Because that was happened to me with my friend. And glad that I'd able to save our friendship.
Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

The topic reminds me of an ex.Well, he is part of the past and I can tackle the matter without the feelings.
No so much about the rejection, but I will discuss directly to how to handle after the rejection. What to do is to set to your mind that you had been rejected or ignored. Why force yourself to him. It is actually a slap on the face so better move on and let go. It is better to forget everything and find someone you deserve.
It is all in the mind, so tell yourself it is over. Accept it and then take a leap. Don't nourish the pain of rejection because if you do, it will degrade your dignity. Feel good about yourself. There are many good guys out there.

It's a kind of intence anguish. Unfortunately, I experienced once. I can remember that evening. We were together, at first we talked well, everything is normal, he embrassed me with his arms. Then suddenly, he told me we were not fit for each other. No matter what I said, he kept his mind. (I knew the reason in a few days.)But it really hurt me deeply. When I went home, I just stepped into my bedroom, cried all the time. I couldn't do anything alone. Even if I was in the office. I went to my friend's home and poured out, while crying. I called my friends even by public phone in the library. But thank my God, He saved me, I became normal in one week. It was really a hard time then!
But my final word to that guy is "thank you". It gave me the experience of being hurt, and loving. It makes my life more various!

I have had this experience both in a relationship and with a friend. In the relationship, after we split we kept in touch and as far I knew we were friends - for me we were way past everything that happened and it was fine. But he suddenly just stopped replying to any emails, or getting in touch himself. I never knew why and I am still angry sometimes that he took such a childish approach. Either he still thought I was 'after him' (which says more about his ego than me, as I was eventually engaged to someone else) or he couldn't deal with me getting engaged, OR maybe he just kept me hanging around for entertainment until he met someone else, and now he has.
Whatever - he doesn't get too much space in my brain!
With my friend, its not so much personal to me but she really cutoff all her friends when she got married. Sadly this is because her husband was hitting her, and she knew that we knew that, so she distanced herelf from us.

Ive been thru this is a guy named Chad.
He is a real great guy who has feelings for me, but keeps throwing me away.
Now I do have a boyfriend, but he knows this is a subject that bothers me becasue I knew Chad before I knew Shaun. The guy flirted with me, wanted to ask me out, moved away, came back and still wanted me, BUT said hed never ask me out because some girl really screwed him over.
For about a year, before Shaun remember, I cried and wanted to know why he was playing with my heart. I know now that he wanted me, and that he still cares but theres just that lil something missing that keeps him from trying, and I dont mean the air force lol.

I had such experience before.She is one of my best friend in middle school.At that time,we'd like to do all things together and enjoyed this kind of feeling.However,a misunderstanding made us turn to be indifferent to each other.She didn't look at me when we came across on the road.I was so upset.I don't wanna lose her,so I looked for her to have a talk.We both cried.I knew at that time she cared me.We explained all the things. What i wanna say is to cherish what you take important.Even you might be hurt,but you will not regret.

If a person rejects me, even if he or she is the person I care most, I'll respect his/her decision.
I am the type of person who shuns away from a person who voiced out his distaste for my company. I have never wanted to insist myself on someone. Doing so I think is doing that person a great favor. Aside from he or she would be mentally sane when I'm not around, I'm also giving myself a little self-respect in the process. Someday, that person would know my worth. I keep in mind, absence make the heart grow fonder. :-)

i will be seclude myself from the world and not eat. i will definitely loose alot of weight and become anorexic. Its not easy to find someone that you really love and care about. It comes once in a lifetime. Finding another wonderful person is a bonus already. il recover from a painful rejection but it will scar me for life.

I have never been a big fan of rejection so I would do my best to find out the reason and then decide if I could handle the desired outcome. I would be upset if this happened but I would be able to move on if it was meant to be permanent.
