How to handle rejection?

[vekin]

The first person who likes to rejected I still have to meet because rejection hurts. Here some simple tips how to handle rejection.

1. Take your time

Trying to act like nothing happend and to fake optimism isn’t going to help you after a rejection. Take your time to to process what has happend.

2. Focus on the positive

But don’t take too much time for it and after a while focus on the positive in your life. The things we often take for granted like the people around us.

3. It isn’t all about you

It’s easily to think you did something wrong. But not everything is about you sometimes the other has his/her own problems and doubts or are just looking for something or someone else. And sometimes you did made a mistake at the first date for example but accept that and learn from it.

4. Work on yourself

Rejection can be a change to work on your self-esteem. Work on yourself and this rejection makes you a better and stronger person.

Welcome back, my dear friend @vekin
I was 14 when I had my First Love of my own life, and for 3 years here, dear, I was never so happy in life. It was a Splendid time for me and Love was so amazing, so wondrous and Beautiful... I felt like Cinderella with her Fine Fella.
However, as we grew Older, I got Bolder, and realized he was still wet behind the Ears in Years, and wrote Dan the man a "Dear John letter," but Sadly... My prince never came back to me.
We later that year encountered being together and as we kissed one another with that Magical kiss" and all, it wasn't Cinderella's Ball, but Instead the Kiss of "Good-bye," for we Had... Given it a Good Try.
Good luck and Great Take, Mr. Editor. xx

Very sound logic and lots of foundation tips for getting over rejection - I also agree with male anon unless you can bury your feelings, it is as well to cut contact with the person who turned you down, I think feelings very rarely change so hanging in there in the hope a person feelings may change will probably lead to more hurt for you.

the last part is so true but sometimes so hard to accept, many couldn't do this... made this mistake too sadly

I fell in love with her when we were both 14, she rejected me all the time we were in HS.
When we went to college I decided to move on, dated a few girls and met my wife.

Recently I heard from a friend that my crush had crushed on me too but wanted excellent grades in HS , thus decided not to date before college. And indeed, I never did see her with a guy in HS.

By the time we were in college I had moved on.

Now we're both married to another, we both have grandchildren.
We still like each other.. at a distance.
No love. Another good feeling.

5. Remove all contacts of the person from your life and never respond to their text if they try to contact or reach out to you.
