How do you deal with rejections? As for me, I am not that perfect. I can be nice but there are some who seem to roll their eyes or glare when they see me. Meaning I am not their favorite and some people who seems happy when I am around.
Do you know the EB portion That's my boy kid contest? There are kids with wit and personality and you get to like them easily from the rest of the other contestants. What makes a person popular?

People have different opinions and impressions on people. Thus, one cannot please everybody, because they have that.
In my case, just like you, i know there are people who doesn't like me. But , i don't care. As long as i am doing what i can to be a good person, i don't have to impress anybody.
If they don't like me, then i ignore them. There are other people i can be with.

We can not please everybody, everyone of us differs is some way on how to mingle with people. I guess no one is perfect in dealing with rejections. For me, as long as I'm doing what I think is right and I'm happy for it, why bother. I still have friends who likes me, losing them would not be an issue.

Yeah why linger on the thought, it would only make us feel sad. Anyway, there are other people who likes us and maybe some will be added. Let's just go on with our life.

Why, bother? They can like us, they can hate us whatever they like.

Well I certainly ain't popular, my eldest cousin is getting married and all her relatives are invited except me, and I feel totally rejected as well as being hurt and angry. Rejections never seem to get any easier the more you are rejection and it flags up issues with me, as I have been rejected for most of my life. Even at school I wasn't popular, I was always bullied and treated like I was nothing. I don't think I've ever fitted in.

Uhm, with me I experience both being popular and being the reject. Okay I do accept that some people are prone to rejection or be rejected however, we are not suppose to love the people that rejects us. We should just love the people that loves us unconditionally.

Everyone is not perfect,i feel hard to say the word no.But i don't feel good being said the rejections.So i choose to neglect if someone try to ignore me even i'm polite enough.Cuz some people doesn't worth for an angry.I still think good and positive person may make more people happy.

Well,i see here 2 questions.I think what makes a person popularity is his personality.There are many attributes that make one stand out.But its usually the prominent ones like honesty,hardworking,good looking etc compared to a set of people,this happens.But then just to get the stare of others, do not do things.Its better to be genuine and get attractions or things.It would not help in acting on long run.There are many who try acting genuine and end up on worse things long term ,plus they need to deal with unwanted pressure of things.As far as rejections are concerned, well they are tough on me as well.I had a rejection a few months back.It took me 6 months to recover and has not fully recovered.You need good support from friends and family to get through things like these.Good stress relieving things and a busy life to get awy from negative thoughts of life.But then time is a great healer.Hope you got things i was conveying.And by the way, nobody is perfect.But making things close to perfection in our life is what makes us better in life.And that is beginning of things in many aspects of our life.Well,enjoy your time.Thanks!

Honestly, there are people that are likeable and people who are quite annoying but nevertheless I learn to appreciate every individual for what type of person they are.

I just deal with it, life is hard and its not fair, but its still better than not having any feelings. Sometimes we need to hurt just to know that we are alive. I don't worry about what other people think of me, you can never please everybody. People are who they are because God made them that way, funny, smart, good looking, it doesn't matter. They have issues too.

in answer to your first question, i just ignore them. we cannot please everybody. that is a fact we have to accept. we can always choose to be happy despite people rejecting us or our presence. not that we look to ourselves as high and mighty but we have to be happy, and go on with life.
what makes a person popular? maybe it's the x-factor that they say. kidding. i do not have an exact answer. but there was this book that i read before talking about why we tend to like another person. it is, according to the book, because there are qualities we see in that person that we do not have. people identify with another person because of what they wanted to be. most icons or idols do have that quality, i believe.

Yes, just ignore since there's nothing we can do, it's their feelings. It can be the x-factor or the charm.

Like everyone else, after a rejection, I would feel really bad. But definitely i would not linger on the thought unless it was someone who is so close to me.

It feels bad but why linger on the thought for a long time?

hmmm I actually don't care if there's people who didn't like me except if I need something from them like a vote or a signature for approval, but for ordinary people I just shrug my shoulders and do what I need to do.
As for popularity I think you don't need it unless there is something you need from the people just be kind, humble, helps while you can and just be happy and I think you're good to go

Yeah I learned not to bother with it. In fact, I am not very conscious anymore. I like people who don't pretend and just act their natural self.
