Can you cope with rejections in personal life? Or career life?

I got mad, I rant, I scream, I cuss, I hate, I cry, I let go, and I try again.

Yupp. I have been rejected. Twice :) Thereafter, I have rejected quite a few. :( I am better off for it though. Life does good things for us at times. :)

When my ex left I had help from a close friend . He help me mend and that is why I was ready when my guy came along. as for work. I have gone a interviews where it just didn't work. But I see it as they don't need me. If they really needed me they would have hired me!

hi vijayanths I was rejected in my earlytwenties and it felt bad as I thought I loved the man but really looking back he was not the one meant for me at all,there was not the sparks and bells I expected of someone I really loved,. A fortune teller , really just a child as she could not have been more than 15 told me I would not meet the right man til I was 32 and his initials would be gh and I would have two children and I would lose one child and I would have a long marriage but my mate would die long before I would.oddly this really all did happen and whem I did meet the man I knew was mine I was so glad the other man had turned me down as I felt bells and whistles and every thing. he was meant for me and I for him and he felt the same way.we fell in love with each other the moment we met. so I am glad I coped by going on with my life. Icoped fine with rejection personally and job wise, and held two jobs for all my life. I am retired now.

Hi dear anna, i didn't faced such problem or experienced such situation either in the career nor in personal life. I got married to the person who loved me. And wherever i go and attend for interview i will select but the thing is my family members will not allow me to go for a job, that some times make me frustration. I used to hear from my friends about the rejections of love and their love failures. We used to make fun on these matters sometimes, but i can understand how painful it is when rejected by some one. Have a good day anna.

In order to cope with rejections, you must have a very strong self-esteem. This is the secret of treating yourself in times of sorrow and desperation. A good and powerful self-esteem can drive and motivate you to survive the ordeals. If you are rejected of loving someone, just think of it that its not a lost, instead think that she doesnt deserve your love. If rejected in your career, think that you are a precious gem to them and you deserve more.

The one and only rejection that I have had in my 69 years was from my first wife. It was not so much a rejection as it was she just didn't care how I felt. After 37 years of marriage she found another man on the Internet and they got together. This was not the first time that had happened but it had been many years so I thought all was well with us. Because of the other times this was the final straw and I divorced her. I loved her very much and this was a very difficult thing for me to understand let alone except. However I have one aspect of myself that helped. If someone doesn't love me then I no longer love them, period. This in effect is simply accepting reality as it is and not as you want it to be. It is not easy and it takes a bit of time but it is so much easier to endure. After recovering from that shock I decided I would not let this define me. I consider myself a very good person. Perhaps too good for my own good at times. So I began looking at some dating sites myself and, in time, I found the person who was to be my next wife. We were married for about 4 years and because of complications from diabetes she passed away. This was far more difficult to accept because she did not leave me voluntarily. To make a long story short, kind of, I did not let this stop me either. In time I found another and am very happily married to a woman I have not doubt loves me dearly. It would have been easy to say no more but I could not and would not do that. I am so thankful today that I did not.

I experienced a huge rejection a few years ago and it hurt so much I am still not completely over the pain; I am over the person but the pain still smarts! For me it was particularly difficult to cope because I had a low self-esteem to begin with due to poor parenting. Now that I aware I can move forward, I still have a way to go but life has improved because I’ve learned to believe and care for myself and one thing that bad experience has taught me is that no one has or will ever hurt me like that again because if they try I will not let them!

i am a woman and i had not experienced directly being rejected because i would never ever beg for love from a guy. indirectly, i would say i was. i know that men know when somebody has something for them and to feel it is truly depressing. the good thing is i dont get to experience the rejection personally. i felt it but that was just it. i think it was much easier for me to deal.

We do not avoid that thing in our life, my friend. I experience that before and I never think about those things a hindrance in our life to go on a success and have a better living... They are all sort of trials that challenge us to where do manage our life...

I have so many rejections really. Though I'm a girl, whenever I'm on a state of giving out my feelings for a guy, they tend to feel annoyed. But rejection at present no longer haunts me because it's no longer occurring.

dear anna, Wow,rejection from someone we love? ouchhh,that's too painful. Well,i was never been rejected or i am just too cautious when it comes to loving someone. I really don't know how does it feels being rejected,but i know i've hurt someone in the past. And i don't consider it rejection,i want to say it's a love offered at the wrong time by the wrong person Aw,what's love got to do it,so many questions but the answers are so few. Have a great weekend dear anna...who rejected you then?

I find it easier to cope with rejection in career life. It doesn't come as such as a crushing blow. Coping with rejection on a personal level has always been a more difficult challenge for me. Your career can't break your heart like a relationship can.

I had a rejected period in my life. it was not a short period. it was more than five years. A true love being rejected by the lover is supper painful. but luckly I was a matured person on that period. Being rejected is a problem which can affect one's mental health. i was so perticular about my mental health. i didn't want my old parents to be woried for me. As a teacher i met more than 1000 people every day. I engaged myself in many activities. Small children make us forget the whole worries. I increased my friend circle. I made me always to be busy. i consentrated on studies and profession. I was a very smart, forward lady in that period. But at nights? no escape. Only cry. the very smart, honerable teacher cried the whole nights long for more than five years. any how my love story havs a hhppy end.

Yeah, there are ups and downs in life, successes and failures, acceptance and rejections. We just have to live with them. I have had cases of rejection in my career, my application for jobs getting rejected, proposals for promotion getting rejected, proposals for business cooperation getting rejected, and so on. Similarly there have been cases of rejections in my personal life too.

That is really a bad experience Vijayanths. I know that coping up with such situations are tough for any persons especially who is in real love and the pain is unbearable. If I were in that situation, no doubt i feel very low and may be depressed too for a few days then try to recover from that pain and agony thinking that if at all that person loves me really, he never rejects me under any pressure. But when a person does not loves me really, it is not worth to waste my time in repenting for loosing him

Hello, rejections are not my forte either personally or professionally. I am very focued person and strive to do well in any job or personal ways. I do know people where this does not affect them and they just cruise along and could careless about rejection or if they hurt people in there paths. I do my best to think things and take some quite time and come up with stradegies. I like have three plans or solutions to a problem. Not always easily done to do. Sometime the time frame does not allow for this so I make quick decisions. Thanks and have a great day Sincerley Unique16

I've had many rejections in life. The personal ones are the toughest to take. As a writer, I'm used to career rejections. Whichever type of rejection it is, I've always strived to perfect myself after being rejected. I still push myself.

vijayanths, I have had my share of successes and failures that I am at a point that I have accepted. If I succeed, I will welcome with a positive mind and sharing desire. If fail, after having several, I have to say, well it was yet another stepping stone for me and well I have to try again.

I could just imagine how difficult it must be to be rejected by the people you love. Fortunately, I have been lucky in that since and I am completely greatful that I have their full support and until this day have never been rejected by them. I just hope that I never confront that situation.
