How does one handle Rejection by other people?

Question

Be it friends, family or strangers..

What if it happens often?

Answer 1

Positive self-talk, don't take it soo personally, there are other things in this world that are more important like Paris Hilton, I('m kidding,) like the war in Iraq!
Don't be too hard on yourself and know that when one door closes, another door opens so keep on being yourself :)

Answer 2

This is a tough question. No matter how many great answers you get, none of them will make any sense to you, because you won't know how to use them in YOUR life. Everything people will tell you works for them, but not for you. That's because you have a perspective that is unique to you. To handle rejection you have to change your perspective.

You are unique, theres only one of you. But you're connected to everyone and everything around you. You are creating the meaning of every statement or action that happens around you whether it's directed to you or not. Learn to see your connection to everyone and everything and you will realise that no one can reject you. Only you can reject you. You do this by adding your belief to the words and actions of others.

Answer 3

By realizing it is their loss not your's. Each person is different and what someone else may not find of interest another will. Just try not to take any negative comment personal but rather as a given opinion. Everyone is entitled to have one and all are free to just ignore or disregard what others say in that way as well. Taking something personally lets someone else get the best of you, that is not necessary. Be your best and that is all you can do in whatever you attempt. There is a saying that goes: Opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one. Try thinking of that when it comes to rejection if needed.

Answer 4

You handle rejection by other people by moving on to other relationships. Suck it up. Cut your losses and move on.

Just keep telling yourself that you are not "Joe Btfsplk" the character from the cartoon "Li'l Abner" who is the worst jinx who always travels with a dark cloud over his head.

You must let the "law of the averages" rule you. The law of averages is a lay term used to express the view that eventually, everything "evens out." In addition to Babe Ruth's title of "home run king," he was also "strike out king." He had a lot of "at bats" so he had a lot of opportunities to hit the ball. The more times you are at bat, the more times you have a chance to be successful.

Answer 5

A very wise lady once told me... "Ain't it great to be over 40 and not have to worry about what people think of you". She was absolutely RIGHT. I can count on one hand the number of people who's opinions count for me. If I am rejected, ignored or otherwise thought ill of by anyone, it makes not a wit worth of difference to me. They are just opinions, nothing more.
Be true to yourself and enjoy the show!

Answer 6

I am a good person, compassionate, caring, giving and nice when someone rejects me I do not care. I am not going to waste my time or energy on people who don't want anything to do with me.I don't care whether some one likes me or not because most people who haven't I didn't particularly like either. Move on to bigger and better things.

Answer 7

Rejection is so harsh. What has happened that you feel rejected?

If you can, muster up the spirit to look at your perceived rejection as the opportunity for a tune up. Don't change who you are, just fine tune your approach.

Answer 8

I think rejection only makes a individual stronger.simple
