I just learned what rejection feels like. It sucks. Really bad. How do you cope with rejection?

Do you mean getting dumped, or turned down for asking for a date? Plenty of fish in the sea, throw out a lure and get another. That fish was probably bad anyways.

On to the next conquest… don’t dwell on it too much. A few shots of tequila may help in the interim.

I’m sorry this has happened to you.
It will get better with time.

Learn from your mistakes and move on.

Release the attachment to the idea that you are somehow unlovable or undesirable and just realize that you weren’t a good fit for someone due to their personality, timing, age or any of other 10 billion reasons. Don’t live your life in someone’s opinion. Move on and don’t dwell. Part of it is leaving home and growing up every time it happens.

I start my own newspaper, career, university, chat room ect..after years of complaining and stewing

Nat King Cole wants to have a word with you

@jaytkay Perfect,

@jaytkay-couldn’t have said, or sung it any better!!

Just continue on with nary a care in the world.

I always simply consider the source.

I’ve always assumed that I would be rejected in social situations for most of my life. I just concentrated on academic and career goals, ignoring the rest. I did find some sense of perverse satisfaction in rejecting others before they could reject me (these were very rare cases). Some people are not destined to be social butterflies, if that is your case, accept it and move on.

I’d still be single and a loner if not for a lovely lady who needed my help badly and was perceptive enough to realize that my solitary nature was a defense mechanism. After Megs death, I tried to return to the determined loner status, but life won’t let me do it. Too many people have seen the kind of person that lurked behind the gruff exterior and insist on drawing me out.

I am still learning but lately I have found an amazing peace with who I am. I just got out of 13 years of someone who was never satisfied with who I was no matter how hard I tried. She was completely 100% unsupportive and finally got the guts to just reject me. And I found out that everyone else around me not only liked who I was but missed the me that was lost in my attempt to please someone who would not only be satiated but didn’t deserve me anyway.

One thing that helps me is to seek out the company of friends and family. They remind me of my value as a person.

It helps to not give a damn…and to poke them with a stick until they change their mind ;)

@lucillelucillelucille A nice sharp stick and don’t worry about mind-changing. :^D

I hide, cry and write. EEw. :(I know, not too constructive) O.o
