How do you handle REJECTION?

Question

Do you take it in stride as a part of life OR does it stress you out to the point that it hinders some of your actions (example: you wont approach anyone romantically first because of fear)

Answer 1

no way, i just keep moving on, don't let one person's view of you rule your world, ya know they may be wrong, walk on and be proud of who you are......always love will come to you with that kind of attitude........spread yourself out a bit

dang i just noticed it was you ranyebow, now who in the hell would reject you........your the prettiest woman i've seen in a long damn time, you should be a model........move on woman

Answer 2

I felt rejected so many times, and each time I have reacted in a different way.

Rejection of a normal part of life (I guess... and I am trying to convince myself about this), If you don't take chances, then you never achieve anything and you never grow.

On the other hand, it's nice when you don't get rejected ten times in the same day. So, it's probably healthy to exercise caution when you're tired, but once you're rested you need to get 'back into the game.'

Otherwise, you allow rejection to shape you negatively, which is no way to live. If you have a hard time reaching out at all, you might need therapy for depression or some other underlying conidtion, which is getting you down. Good luck.

Answer 3

I find the easiest way to handle rejection is to say, "Next!" This has always worked for me...for every "no" I get, I get a "Yes." Not bad averages, at least for me...but then, I am very old...there was a time when 4 out of 5 were yes...we all slow down a bit.

Answer 4

Honestly--and some of you will really hate me for this--I don't *get* rejected romantically, even though I'm not the prettiest girl in the world. I've been slapped and blamed for a miscarriage, but not rejected! *sigh* It's in other fields--mainly professional--that I get rejected. It's hard. And yes, I do get fearful about trying again. I have to push through it.

Answer 5

The first time I was the second, but now I get over it and look ahead (with maybe a few reflections on the past, but not many)

Answer 6

I don't like it. Not one bit. However, a combination of eating Belgian chocolates and applying pins to an appropriate voodoo doll helps ease the pain of rejection.

Answer 7

It's been so long I forget. Not the rejection part, the putting myself out there. From what I know of you anyone who rejects you is really missing out.

Answer 8

i actually appreciate the honesty. better that than to be led on. romantically speaking, no one likes the feeling of being rejected but it's better it happen earlier rather than later. if i'm the one doing the rejecting, then i try to be as respectful and curteous as possible (b/c that is how i'd like to be treated).

Answer 9

I have a new, delusional boyfriend who doesn't trust me or believe what I say most of the time. In essence he's "rejecting" me, driving me to a point of insanity, whereby I am forced to reject him, thus he's spared the guilt trip.

In my humble opinion this "form" of rejection SUCKS.

Answer 10

Since I only get rejected in the sexual arena I take it as they have a problem. I don't make it my own. I don't do "relationships" because - as much as I love men - they're jerks. Myself included.
