Do You Find It's Difficult To Accept Rejection

We like to be liked, appreciated, loved, cared and accepted, the opposite response can make us uncomfortable but others behaviour is not in our control so we should not expect too much from others.
But I find that mostly people find it very difficult to accept rejection, when someone's desired person does not behave in the manner he /she wants, it gets bitter and revengeful.
What do you think about it friends? Do you accept rejection easily? Does it makes you bitter?

I do agree with you rejections are parts of life and we should learn to cope with it wisely.

I don't like it but since it is part of life I have learned to live with it when it happens.

Even I don't like rejections but it is part of life. I think we need to be broad minded to accept rejection easily.

@Bodyandbrain More than rejection, it is the reason of rejection that always plays important role.

@avi256 right and one should be ready to understand the reason.

Rejection is hard for me to accept too, but I also have a problem with self-rejection.
Self-rejection is the greatest enemy to our spiritual life because it contradicts the truth that we are never rejected by God, so why should we reject ourselves.
So, how do we overcome rejection both inwardly, and outwardly then?
We must realise that rejection counters love, and love is never rejectable.
Therefore, we must realise that God is in us, and we are in him, and whenever we feel rejected, we should go back to God, the one that never rejects anyone.
Some might reject us, but the one who counts never will do so. We, therefore, should never reject ourselves either.

@Shiva49 That's well-said siva. We have something in each one of us, that will always continue to light our path for us, if we simply allow its light to keep shining. It never goes out, but sometimes we think we have gone out to it. At these times we should press on. The tide will always turn. The light will finally lead us out of our darkness.

Of course we should never reject ourself, self acceptance and self love should be first thing to do.
Thanks for sharing your valuable thoughts, I agree with you completely.

Well said.
I can't question your observations about women but I found men are more sensitive about rejection as I think it hurts their ego.

@Shiva49 it's good if they are getting used to deflated ego because it is necessity of life and progress but unfortunately I don't find it around me.

You sound so wise, if the rejection is reasonable we should accept it, sometimes it can be reasonable in that person's view but not in our but we really can't force anyone to do anything.

Yes, it is very difficult to accept rejection if it comes from our loved ones or someone close to us.
To accept and move on is the best way to deal with it.

Rejections are part of life, and yes one needs to accept that.
But sometimes the side effects of the rejection affects the other person.
Sometimes, when a person gets rejected, he/she gets a mentally headstrong, but the bitterness still stays.
As a result a person may get cynical and see acceptance too with doubt.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about the matter. I agree that side effects of rejection affect the person and can lead him to bitterness and revenge.
It takes a broad mind and wisdom to understand and handle the situation.
