was feeling cold in her room and wondered if she wouldn't mind if I closed her window that she had wide open. She obliged, but then she said, "The reason why you're feeling cold is because you have a spirit of self rejection". I was puzzled by this and just smiled and shook my head. What is self rejection and is she right that I have it?

I agree. She was being self important by judging YOU! If the temp was cold cuz the window was open you were just plain cold. I think she needs some help! You had a right to be puzzled.

You may or may not have an attitude that you are always rejected, but you were cold because the window was open and letting the cold air in. Unfortunately, sometimes we get caught up trying to hyper-spiritualize the mundane and that sounds about what your friend did. I'm sorry but I am not quite sure what she meant by a spirit of rejection.

The christians believe that it is the love of their god that keeps them warm. A spirit of self rejection is one that denies the love and warmth of the christian god and that is why you are cold, in theory.
In all honesty that is the kind of pious claptrap a christian would come out with, they do it all the time to make you feel like you are missing something. Yeah right.
Lord Nelson had the same theory. He was sat in a boat once being rowed out to his flagship the Victory and was offered a cape by a junior officer. Nelson refused it and said that the love of his country kept him warm.

that is the first time i hear about self rejection. The phares "self-rejection" however gives a sense that you attempt to reject even what you want.
Personally, i know how people can feel hot when everybody else is freezing and vice versa. I think you have, the least to say, a strange, perhaps inconsiderate, friend.

Let's see the window was open, it was cold outside...
Don't make a big deal out of nothing you were cold because it was a cold day as simple as that.

i think the windows might be always open during night times from the evening hours or the place must be filled up with air cooler that's why you may have felt cool.there is no such things as self rejection(i think so but i am not sure)

Well, maybe she's into Louise Hay, an author that wrote a book, "You Can Heal Your Life". There is a list of physical symptoms that are associated with an emotional foundation.
For example, heart issues = a lack of joy, etc.
Tell your friend you appreciate the free analysis but perhaps you were just simply "cold."
