    Rejection is a part of life, we all deal with it, most of us more than once.......we don't get the job we want, we don't get the guy/girl we want etc.....So how do you deal with it?

    I think they're crazy for rejecting me and continue to have an over inflated belief in myself based on very little evidence, resulting in people avoiding me because I'm so clever and good looking

    With an upbeat can do attitude...

    You just got to work the odds really... For all those "No's" eventually someone is going to say "Yes"...

    Lisbon for example!

    Just keep chugging away!

    I do not know how to handle it. I don't think alcohol is a godd idea though. Feeling the hurt for as long as it is there and then move on?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,134 ✭✭✭Lux23


    Booze normally. Sometimes I am able to shrug things off pretty easily it really depends on how happy I am feeling in myself at the time.

    Here is a story that put all my further experiences of rejection into a new light (if that works backwards):
    My stepfather told me that my mother had told him that she had wanted to have an abortion when she was pregnant with me but that my father(back then, her husband) had stopped her. He further went on to tell me that 'she should have had an abortion because I had wrecked her life', don't know if that was her words or if it was his conclusion. Further information to the story is that my father did never have that much interest inincluding me into his new family.
    That's rejection on a large scale. I was only fourteen when that happened. I haven't worried much about jobs and boyfriends rejecting me since. You do get desensitised- but I do not know if that is a good thing.

    Jebus H. Christo! That's awful.

    It reminds me of a scene in' Before Sunrise' where the character Jesse talks about a similar scenario and how it shaped his outlook on life that was, in a way, kind of positive. I found the quote:

    "I remember my mother once. She told me, right in front of my father, they were having this big fight, that he didn't really want to have me, you know, that he was really pissed off when he found out that she was pregnant with me, you know, that I was this big mistake. And I think that really shaped the way I think. I always saw the world as this place where I really wasn't meant to be.
    Céline: That's so sad.
    Jesse: No, I mean, I eventually kind of took pride in it. You know, like my life was my own doing, or something. You know, like I was crashing 'The Big Party.'
