Rejection.

We probably all face it at times in our lives, so how does it affect us, can it be a spur to try harder.

Re: Rejection.

Depends, I prefer to move on to something or someone new.

Re: Rejection.

Rejection is the other side of the coin from acceptance and all part of life. Accept it and move on

Re: Rejection.

I tend to think their loss not mine and just get on with life. There are so many people in the world it's not possible everyone will like me and tbh I am better off without some people if they aren't in it for good then walk away I can manage without them.

Re: Rejection.

I think when first trying to get a girlfriend is a time when lads first really encounter this feeling. At a time when emotionally undeveloped the affect can be harsh.

Re: Rejection.

I'd say, most take rejection in their stride and get over it.
Worst must be for those who take rejection really hard, can't shake the feeling off and take their own lives.

Re: Rejection.

I agree, but I also think this sort of person will have a certain amount of sensitivity about other things too.
I was sensitive about some things as a child, that wouldn't bother me as much now, but other issues can hurt instead.
It depends on your personality more than age perhaps.

Likwise, people who shrug everything off without a second thought can appear rather unfeeling too.

I probably haven't phrased that very well, I often don't, but I know what I mean.

Re: Rejection.

I think I understand what you mean mups but when you have been rejected by parents you learn young not to let things hurt you too much nothing can hurt you as much as that anyway.

Re: Rejection.

Yes rejection hurts a lot....ive had plenty of experience with it...It can be very difficult to move on...easier said than done tbh.
The older ive got though the more the little voice in my head says kinder things to me now

Re: Rejection.

I like you Julie.
