How many times have you ever been rejected?

For humans, rejection is one form of hurt and disappointment especially when we are not prepared for it and the kind of coping mechanism that we have built in us isn't suited for a particular situation. I have experienced a lot of rejections in life, at first it was difficult to succumbed and realized that life's like that. It's like the world's fell apart that you can no longer stand up and make a head start. Rejection comes from love, work, friendship, school, and even family matters. As I age, I have learned the most passionate way of handling rejection, it doesn't hurt much especially when you become optimistic that there are reasons for such. How was it with you?

Being rejected and the feeling of being rejected is no longer new to me.
I have also had my share of rejections... Take note, it's "rejections".
I have learned to handle those rejections and it has taught me a lot of lessons.

I have been rejected many times. It is hard to deal with it. I can say.
But that's life! We just have to accept that we can achieve things we wanted to achieve. we have to think more of possibilities that something more deserving will come for us. Don't be too harsh on yourself and be normal. Try to relax so you can think of things which are positive ones. People who are in this situations can feel depressions which may come to their thinking that they do want to end their lives.
in this kinds of scenarios, we just have to put our trust in God and lift up all our trouble minds to Him. for He only knows what lies ahead of us.

Yes rejection hurt so much that makes us powered off. Sometimes it gives as the low quality of work even in our daily household chores. Really it affects us unknowingly if we cannot stand up again simply distractions may happen. You know I really hates rejections but this is a part if our life. In every angle there is rejection for positive and negative sides. If this matter we looked negatively then definitely we go to negative and if we looked this towards positive side we are never ever distracted by. for me this is it looking to good side to turn it on to positive that build.

Not a lot but I've experienced before. There will be some kind of upset feeling inside you but then if you are willing to take it in a more happy way, the upset feeling will go away. Rejections are part of life and are considered failures. But then again, failures enrich our lives to let us know where we're actually lacking so as not to repeat the same mistake again and get rejected. No pain no gain right?

I have been rejected once from a guy I liked well not technically, just we never became official. I was obsessed & loved him but he didn't feel the same in return I guess, well I never spilled my guts to him so I think that was the problem and I considered it as a rejection but it really isn't? I don't know its kind of confusing..

It is indeed painful to get rejected especially when it's someone who's so dear to you. The feeling of being unwanted is bringing so much pain that could lead to depression. People would always want to fit in but you cannot please all people they say. So when I feel this way towards the people around me, I just try to make my self calm and see it in a positive way. I would just try to be me and not someone they wanted me to be. If they cannot accept the way that I am, then maybe I don't need to change my self for their satisfaction. I just wanna live as what I really am and not someone that I am not.
