Dealing With Rejection

Sadly I think if a person has been rejected, or feel that they have been, they are more apt to sugar coat it. Atleast at first. Then if that doesn't seem to get through then I would have to be brutally honest. I would certainly try to think of the other person's feelings. I have been rejected and when I was young it was brutal. I think we toughen with age.

I think it is better to be brutally honest than playing nice. You are just prolonging the other person's feeling of agony and waiting forever. Ok I have been dumped a couple of times, in courting women, job applications,friends - BUT i still look at the silver lining of every situation. I know, it will make me a better person eventually.

I prefer to be honest. I think that people who sugercoat the rejection have good intentions and that they are afraid of hurting the other person, but they might actually hurt the person more if they aren't honest. They might give the person false expectations, and maybe the person believes that there is still a chance. If you are honest the person is going to get hurt, but he or she knows the truth and they can move on. I have been in a situation where I had to reject someone who was interested in me. I was honest, and he handled the situation really well. Of course he was hurt and disappointed, but he wanted to remain friends. I would have understood it if he had decided end our friedship, because it would have been hard for me to keep a normal friendship if I had been rejected, but he was okay with it. Today we are still very good friends, I am married to another man and he has a girlfriend and the four of us are often together.

In my life there was three girls who had requested with love relations. I don't believe in love relations becuase from my friends experiences such relations are just nearly a waste of money as well as a waste of money.

I've had a couple suitors whom I really didn't like because of physical and personality issues. There were more of those, when I first stepped in to College. I think guys, that age, are just so eager to get a girlfriend even when they're not really serious with their feelings. I rejected a few of them, just by simply telling them I am not in to them. If they persist, I would start ignoring and avoiding them so they'd get the message. I have not been rejected, when it comes to relationships. I don't go for guys whom I know won't be interested in me. I know what I want, and I get what I want. I've been rejected in terms of work, especially in the field of Sales. And, it really is stressful and sometimes it gets the best of me. But, life has to go on, so after taking a deep breath, I got to be back in shape and start another round.

ive been at the giving and recieving end of rejection. sometimes it depends on the person yiou are rejecting. you ought to know whats best for her (or him). but mostly its better to be honest (not brutally) but still let her know you only have her best interest in mind.

When I'm not interested of someone and it has been pursued to entertain them and no way to refuse I honestly speak of what the real matter and absolutely no feelings at all. I don't want the situation getting more complicated and I don't want to hurt anyone at the end. I don't give hope at all. I may not be so disgrace being frank I guess is better than let someone hope for nothing. In my part- Its pretty true but I never tried being rejected by someone.If its gonna be happen then I will accept the rejection.It may hurt a while but it won't take long. Acceptance of reality will make the situation in order. Happy myLotting!

Be straight, be honest, it might sound hard but at least it's clear what you mean. Unless you think they do have romantic interests in you and it's not the case. Happened to me once and I had no romantic interest at all just tried to be friendly. So a weird situaton also. Be always clear about what you want or expect, also because there are people who won't hear a NO and still think you are interested even if you tell them you are not.

I have experienced rejecting someone before because I only see him as a good friend. I am a straightforward person so I do not usually sugarcoat things. I would rather dished out hurtful truth than give out false hope due to misinterpretation of sugarcoating things. With regard to dealing with rejection, I always think that life is too short to dwell on things that are not meant to be, s the best thing to do is to accept it and then move on.

I've been rejected four times, but I just ignore it and think that it is just a part of courting someone. If I'm courting some I always consider two things: to be rejected or to be accepted. If I'm in rejected then I just find someone else and start again, I didn't take it seriously when it comes to courting but when I'm accepted, like my girlfriend did, that's the time I take her seriously and make her believe that she choices me right.

I wouldnt be brutally honest but i would definitely make it clear that there will be no love connection between the two of you. You dont want to be mean it is flattering that someone likes you but sometimes by not being mean they believ they have a chance so i would make it clear that there isnt. Tell them as much as you enjoy them as a friend that is all you see the relationship being. Say you dont see it going anywhere. I guess it really also depends on what the current status of your relationship is. Do you see this person alot? Have you known them a long time? Do you hang out in the same circle? Each of these things will affect how you go about letting the person know. If its someone you wont see often you can handle that differently then someone you see everyday or someone who grew to have feelings out of a friendship. Go with how your gut tells you to handle it just be nice about it anyway you go.
