Are you bothered by rejection?

Question

Does being rejected by someone bother or annoy you in any way?

We all know someone who is constantly rejecting people with their "No thank you, that's O.K." attitude toward others. Do you find them to be humorous, annoying, frustrating, sad, etc.?

How do you respond?...

Answer 1

sometimes

Answer 2

Well it depends on the context from which they are responding. Some people like to keep to themselves and are reclusive while others are just rude and hurtful. It bothers me when I am trying to be nice and help someone out when they obviously need it and they respond with a no thanks and then complain later that their significant other or friend would not lift a finger? I tried and that was not good enough. Or when my mother in law will not let me help her out in the kitchen or with her new house and tells me no just go sit down but can't wait for my other sister in law to come over and help. But when I invite my mom to a movie and she says no all the time I know it is because she prefers to be at home in her garden or reading. People are different ad it only bothers me when I am not being treated fairly.

Answer 3

I find it as them just being real. Like if your in a retail type setting and you ask someone if they need help and they say " No thank you, that's ok." I think it would not bother me the slightest bit because I acknowledged them and they just want to look around.

Now if it's a relationship type thing, hey everyone experiences rejection at some point. But one has to realize everyone has a certaion qualities they look for. So the best thing to do is let it be known and let the chips fall where they may and go from there.

In general, I think one just has to handle rejection with a smile upon their face.

Answer 4

no rejection is all a part of life, it depends on you sometimes rejection works for the better,those little rejections like no thank you andthanks ok is only a nice way of saying no that should not bother you , yes may be if your boyfriend turned you for another or your husband as the case may be , you might hurt but not for long if you move on with your life perhaps they did you a favour by making you a stronger person, smile and the world will smile at you get annoyed you will only add lines on your brow,

Answer 5

I don't take it personally when anyone tells me no thank you. Some people just don't like to feel obligated to others, but you can always be there for them if they ever do need something. It is not an attitude towards you, it is simply a response. You can leave the offer open and if they ever need something from you just let them know you will be there for them.

You should never try to force yourself on someone else or take offense when someone tells you no. Not everything people say or do is a personal reflection on you or their feelings for you.

Answer 6

.



At some point all of will be affected by rejection, whether it be a failed relationship or career promotion.Rejection is a part of life, we have to accept and learn positive ways to deal with it.Knowing that rejection is a part of life does not make it less painful.

Understanding that we can not be all things to all people is an important lesson we have to learn.When you are rejected; people are rejecting attributes, not the physical person.

Rejection can also be a learning experience.It allows us to take a deep hard look at the decisions we have made and learn from those decisions.It is an opportunity for learning from our mistakes and evaluate the choices we make in the future,

The best thing to do when you have offered to help others and they reject your help.Take the rejection gracefully.Smile and be ready to help them if they call for your help.

Answer 7

I live by the old premise of "That ,that does not kill me,only makes me stronger" I'm not sure why someone refusing an invitationwhatever should be a problem. Maybe the people asked are shy or insecure and they don't want to face new situations, they feel safer just saying no,maybe inside they are dying to go or accept and are just afraid. Or they are jerks who think they are too good for you and are seeking someone,richer,brighter,better looking,etc if so I would never ask them again They are really just status seekers who are trying to make themselves look better in their own eyes.

Answer 8

At first it makes me pay attention. Did I do something wrong? I could have. Sometimes though, if you keep hearing it again and again from the same person over a period of time, you are not going to respect this person as an independent soul, who does not want to bother anyone. You'll see them for what they are- a manipulator who is trying to get control. If that's the case, then I try not to spend any time with them.

Answer 9

i wasn't brought up to take things from other people. i was taught that i have to work or save for the things that i have or want and give to the ones that are less fortunate.
maybe what your offering is something that person just doesn't need or want. that person may feel that there are strings attached to what is being offered.
if you would of had more details i probably could of answered this question better. so i'm sure this was not the response you were looking for.

Answer 10

I do not care if I am rejected, after all I can not make everyone happy. As far as other peoples rejection, I have no compassion or opinions for those people.

Answer 11

Rejection can make you feel deflated, but I tend to view it as "one window closes and a door opens." As a human, it's hard to stick to that because no one likes rejection, but everything happens for a reason. There is no such thing as luck or chance.
