Rejection is a part of life and something that people have to handle on a regular basis. Whether it's when you're looking for a job, trying to create your own business or even just asking that special person out on date. This article will explore 5 ways that people can deal with rejection in order to move past the feeling as quickly as possible.
1) When rejection happens, don't take it personally! It doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you; sometimes we just need more information about ourselves before we know what to do next.
2) Rejection can be an opportunity for growth! If you fail at something and are rejected from something else because of it, then use those experiences to learn how you want things to be in the future! Things will work out for the best if you let them.
3) Rejection is a chance to find something new that you love even more than what you were doing before! Even though your current decision may have been rejected, there's no reason why you can't create a new one to take its place.
4) Sometimes rejection has nothing to do with us and isn't about our personal abilities or level of satisfaction at all; instead, it may just mean that we're on the wrong path and need to make an adjustment. When this happens, don't feel down; it might actually be a good thing!
5) Rejection is only final if you give up. One piece of advice on how you can get around this is to surround yourself with the people that support you and are positive. Not only will this make rejection easier to handle when it comes along, but it will also improve your mindset in general.
All of these 5 approaches have one thing in common: they all require you to think about your current situation differently. In order for you to move past feelings of rejection, you need to change your perspective and start seeing opportunity where there previously was none.
People aren't always going to accept what we have to offer, but as long as we keep trying then eventually something is sure to stick! This article may have seemed a bit pessimistic because I mentioned some not-so-positive aspects of rejection such as uncertainty and being vulnerable.
However, that was just to illustrate the contrast between rejecting something and embracing it. Rejection is a part of life; what matters is whether or not you choose to keep moving forward regardless of how many people try to slow you down.
When someone rejects us, they are rejecting an image we have created in their mind not ourselves!
What do we mean by that?
Well, because people don't really know who we are, they usually create an image of who we are based on what they've learned from our actions and words so far. The problem with this approach is that most people only get one side of the story.
This means that any rejection we face when trying to befriend new people or date someone might be completely unjustified. In fact, the person we're trying to get closer with might be rejecting our image of who they are – not us!
Example: If I tell my friend that I'm really passionate about helping people find a job after they get laid off from their previous job, then he or she will start to have an image in their mind about how important that issue is to me.
However, if everything I do and say is contradicted by my actions towards this goal (say if I end up getting a business deal instead), my friend may eventually stop being able to relate to me and stop accepting me because I've done nothing but lie to them.
Simply put, if you try to deceive someone into thinking you're more than what you really are, then the rejection will only feel much more personal than it really is.
These thought bubbles can affect people in all aspects of life and during both our social interactions as well as business dealings. The problem is that these images are mostly based on misleading information we've created for ourselves not what others truly think about us!
How to deal with rejection: If you're dealing with a situation where your image seems to be getting rejected by someone else, then try to do some self-reflection and figure out why you may have decided to create this particular image in the first place.
Once you know why then you can look back at your previous behavior patterns and see if any adjustments need to be made (in order for them to match with your original image).
What's the point of all this?
The main goal is to learn how to become more adaptable in order to handle rejection effectively. In life, we're constantly creating these images and ideas about other people without even thinking about it; however, just because you've created an image doesn't mean it's right!
So rather than reacting negatively when someone rejects us (or our image), just figure out why they might be rejecting us and try again after making some adjustments.
End Game = Einstein
Remember that there are always two sides to every story theirs and ours. So don't feel discouraged if someone seems to have a negative opinion of you or otherwise declines an opportunity yet keep trying until something works!

As always thanks for reading.. Cheers!!
We cannot please anyone and everyone around us. There are times people could hate us, with or without a reason. Indeed the capacity to understand and adapt will help us to handle rejection.
Thanks fr this, I will surely put these thoughts in my mind whenever I feel I was being rejected by someone.
