How Do You Deal With Rejection?

We do encounter in our lives rejections. It leaves us feeling so low at a certain point. From our classmates, sometimes from our friends, even family, and some in our partners. The pain is so real, but we have to face it. In my case, I listen to music at home. Talk it out with someone. Eat ice cream. I even cry.Its just okay for me as long as I can pour at my feelings at that point. After that I'm relieved. I prove to them I'm worth their attention and love. Most importantly, I pray. We cant anymore change the feelings of the people around us.But God can lead us to other people who will be much worthy of our love and attention.

Rejection does not tag you as someone who is not up to the mark. It is just that in a given situation you do not fit in. What's the big deal? There are areas where you will fit in and you should look for those areas and you will find them. Have you realised also that you could be too good and therefore unfit!!

i don't get over rejection. i am truly hurt, however, i march forward. i can't do anything about rejection

Wow!first of all congratulations for a very good and very interesting topic.I love it.You are correct that rejections is part of our life.My opinion on this is that you will never see the dark side of your life if you will not experience any rejections. I have been rejected so many times especially when applying for a job.At first,it is really hard to accept. But that is really part when you applied for a job.Being rejected is a challenge for me.I am being motivated every time I received rejections from other people.With regards about tips on how we can handle this,it all depends upon the situation.Just for instance, you will be applying for a job,you should be prepared. Be sure that you wear a proper attire and you must be ready for their questions to avoid rejections.

This a pretty relevant topic for me.Got rejected recently only by the girl I proposed to...:)...Was really tough and am still trying to get over the sickening feeling.We were very good friends before that and still are but things have changed.We get into frequent quarrels now and life has become really tough for me.Still trying to find a solution to my problems.Somehow to accept that someone you love so much doesn't feel the same way about is really heart breaking.You lose all your self confidence,feelings of possessiveness and jealousy crop up and it keeps getting bad and bad everyday till you either get the person or are able to move on.Unfortunately,in my case,I have not been able to do either and still struggling.I am hanging on with the hope that tomorrow will be better.Hope it is!!

Recently I have been rejected several times by a boy.He is one of my friends.I like to play with him very much,but the rejection make me recoil.Now I almost don't call him any more because of rejectiom,though I really want.

I think in one point in our lives or another, we would feel rejection. I have felt it in so many ways, but nothing compares to being rejected in relationships. Not because the person felt you're not 'worth it' but because he can't fully explain himself. It happened to me a long time ago, I can't even imagine the feeling since it's no longer fresh in my mind. All I could remember was the fact that I felt so lost. He wanted me to feel that I deserved better and it was a 'good' thing, but to me it clearly wasn't. But now that I'm with someone who is 10x better than that guy, I finally realized that feeling sorry for yourself, depression, and hopelessness isn't all worth it. If I had stopped living because of being rejected, then I might never have found this someone in my life.

I deal with rejection by focusing on someone or something else. When i focus on something else, it usually just goes away. I don't think that i'm not good enough that's why i'm rejected although it's true. I just think that i can always improve to get the job or to find another girlfriend. Rejection is really a hard thing to deal with but it can be dealt upon.

I have been rejected mostly on job applications. But it's really one of the consequences when applying for work or anything. It's not always a yes to all applications. So, before I go for job interviews, I always make sure I am stable in mindset and emotions. It's very important to be ready for rejections, so to avoid deeper frustrations. As long as you know your capabilities, you should not lose your confidence.

no but i think we don't have to compare to rejection it is also a part of our life, success and unsuccess is a part of life we have to learn from it, i think its necessary because without it we never learn.

Well, i feel this way too in especially at work they make us feel rejected because every time there are some groups parties and group gatherings they informed as late or even in times of eating they are too far away on us. We do not know why, maybe they are jealous because we are close to our head but i guess i just ignore them the more i let them do it the more they keep doing it. I just focus myself to other things as long as i am doing my job well.
