I realize I won't be loved and accepted by "everyone", and I can handle that, depending on who's doing the rejecting. But I won't lie, it still hurts to be rejected, especially by someone I love.

Rejection can suck. If your comfortable in your own skin and with yourself rejection is really never rejection. I see it this way, Everyone has their own styles. So if you are not that persons style oh well there are allot of people out there that will like your style. Just like cars. Some buy trucks some buy sports cars some buy Volvo's and some buy motorcycles. All it is is just different desires. One is not better than the other just different.
I know who I am and what I have to offer. I love myself and that is what really counts.

I accept rejection very well because I don't expect acceptance, I am just grateful when I get it. It's a big world, with a lot of people, and not everyone is a good match to ones personality, likes, dislikes and tastes. However, usually, there are still plenty of people left who do cross your path who are a good match and that is what one should focus on.

i handle rejection horribly. just recently i was rejected by my best friend (he pretty much took my heart, ripped it out, ran it over with a steam-roller and then laughed..just to let you know) i have a hard time dealing with people that don't accept me, i'm not going to try and lie and say that i am comfortable in my own skin and could care less of what people think of me. to be honest, i am completely vulnerable and terrified of rejection...this fear holds me back in many ways and limits everything that i do. being alone is my biggest fear, and at the moment, it's growing..
-thanks for the question... it gave me a release to everything that's been building up lately, also thanks for lending the ear, if needed, i'll do the same...
best of luck to you if you're dealing with rejection, it's a monster.. (:

I'm fairly comfortable with it finally at this stage of my life. As a teenager it was very hard for me. Now, at age 25, I've realized that not all groups of people are meant to share space/thoughts/time ... and that doesn't mean I should take it personally. I tend to steer clear of those who I would reject, and therefore, that generally keeps away most people who would reject me. That way no rejecting has to actually take place. :o)

the only rejection I fear is rejecting myself.... I have come to peace with knowing that not everyone will love and accept me... but as long as I can sleep at night with who I am I've done my best.

Lucky as a Wiccan I have learned well how to deal with rejection.
So yes, I have learned to deal well with rejection and I am well aware that I will not be loved or accepted by everyone.
That is life.
Blessings,
Aviana

I don't care about "everyone". If I'm rejected by some random person I don't care about, it doesn't affect me. If I'm rejected by someone who's important to me I take it very badly.

I am fine with rejection it's an honest answer..
What bothers me are the people who act friendly and stab you in the back..

I use R&S as a learning tool - whenever I feel that I am too loved I come on here for a few thumbs down :)
