How can you cope up with rejection?

Question

can you give me some pieces of advice about the feeling of being rejected by your special someone or your friends...

Answer 1

Try to become the best person in the world, so then they feel terrible for turning down the best person in the world. Sometimes they feel so bad that they try to invent a time machine to go back and change their decision. The closest person to ever accomplish this actually went back in time, but overshot into the wrong era. Godspeed, Joseph Starkly.

Answer 2

It's really a piece of cake. Since the truth is you can't please everyone, rejection by someone for something is an ongoing fact of life. Success requires balancing the reality of rejection with consistency. In other words, the more you're rejected, the closer you're getting to acceptance. If you can learn WHY you're rejected, you increase your chances of success exponentially. Just don't make the same mistake twice.

Answer 3

•STEP 1: Yeah, it hurts to hear it. The truth is, you'll get over it.
•STEP 2: Realize that this person, no matter how much you like him or her, is not going to reciprocate. You can't make a person love you. And you can drive yourself crazy trying.
•STEP 3: You deserve a partner who respects you and cares about you. You want to feel secure and valuable, right? Remember this.
•STEP 4: At first, you'll experience denial. "It's not really over," you tell yourself. Now tell yourself that it's not your fault. You could have been this or that - but you weren't. Don't dwell on your imagined shortcomings.
•STEP 5: Don't try to get him or her back by making drastic improvements. It won't work. It's too late for that. If you do anything, do it for yourself. Now is the time to be selfish.
•STEP 6: Go to your friends or family - those who accept you and will understand your hurt.
•STEP 7: Take up a hobby or sport. Get your mind off your breakup. Stay busy - this is key.
•STEP 8: You will get depressed. It's normal. You will get angry; this is normal too.
•STEP 9: Decide that you wanted it to be over. Convince yourself of this.
•STEP 10: You might try finding someone else - and some people will suggest this - but it's not very healthy and won't really be fair to the new person. Give yourself time to pull yourself together.
•STEP 11: Don't get obsessive. If you feel that you can't get over it by yourself, get professional help. You don't want to turn into a stalker.

Answer 4

Ok...since no one has been honest so far, I'll give you my input.

Rejection sucks. It starts when we're kids on the playground and continues all the way through life.

But as you get older and your self-confidence increases, rejection can be shrugged off or ignored without feeling bad about yourself.

Self-esteem is the most valuable asset you can develop. Meaning...no matter what anyone thinks or says, you know who you are, how you treat people, are proud of yourself, etc.

And then, just be yourself. Everyone else will fall into place.

Answer 5

Don't try to pretend it doesn't bother you. But to suffer in silence is admirable. Real friends will accept you as you are, right? Sounds good enough but it can't always be true. The world would run out of "best friends" and somebody would just be left alone anyway. This is the circle life must take to bring us to our truest friends. The ones more like family.

Answer 6

Getting rejected always hits me in the self esteem department. So what I do is critique myself and find what areas I lack in. I then improve them. Such as getting into an exercise regimen to improve my physique. Or maybe going out shopping for clothes and improving my wardrobe.

Now I dont do this to impress the people that rejected me. I do this to boost my self esteem.

Answer 7

Well first off, Go to the spa, and get a couple treatments... to clear your head, then just think of it as you rejected them because they were not to your standards, and maybe that you overestimated what type of person he.she is

Answer 8

1) Old true adage, There are lots of fish in the sea &
I've learned , lots of them are better !

The hard part is sometimes we get thinking that special someone is far greater than they actually are.
Once you recognize they were OK, but not the uber love -
You can rediscover the sea and all its wonders.

Answer 9

I can only give you an electronic hug. I don't think there's any advice. There's really nothing you can do about it and tell yourself it's not meant to be. I definitely gets old fast. Hold your head up and keep on going. Your day is coming.

Answer 10

Dont give them the satisfaction. Just say I dont give a damn 3 times in you head to your self. What they think. I just dont and, pretty soon you will believe it. It will be all over and you wont have to stress over it. This works I do it daily.
