how do you cope with rejection?
#18779894 - 08/31/13 12:35 AM (10 years, 5 months ago) |

I was reflecting today, and it suddenly occurred to me that i've developed no successful mechanism to deal with rejection. I just feel bad and i'm used to that feeling so i continue about my day like normal.
I'm not talking like major rejection like the love of ur life saying she's not into you either. I'm talking like the cute girl walking down the street won't make eye contact and intentionally looks away. i'm talking like the people that work next door and smoke cigs in the same ally as you say hello but don't really want to make conversation and don't seem to care about or respond to anything you say.
I'm starting to get pretty old, so it feels weird to me that those things make me feel as bad as they did when i was a kid. I just never learned a way to deal with it.

Just dont care, within reason of course, as in if you fear rejection from your boss due to it making things awkward, thats a normal fear. Sounds simple but thats the answer.

i mean no one likes rejection, but for me, i don't really mind the rejection itself too much, i just dont like all the games that come with it. like i'd prefer a chick to just be like okay gtfo its done, rather then play shit out over a long period of time.
which is kind of whats currently happening to me with this bitch from work.... im getting played hard. fcken bitch. and shes not even that hot either. i don't even know why i like her, shes fucked in the head

The law of attraction exists. I'm not talking some cosmic force. I'm talking your perception selectively retaining experiences to reinforce your beliefs.
While at some time, your problem of rejection was likely instilled by some assholes; I think most likely you are the one carrying on this trauma which is manifesting in behaviors that lead to perceived rejection.
The problem isn't outside, but rather within. Change your living habits, and it will be much easier to change your mental processes.

Interesting questions. The older I get, the less I care to waste any energy on negative feelings, rejection being one of them. Ive gotten much better at just moving on with my life, rather than ruminating on things. In my late teens/early 20s, that kind of shit would eat me up, and id spiral into a depressed, ocd, drug crazed wreck of a human being. haha, shit man, worlds apart today

I agree. Train yourself towards apathy.

How I deal with rejection?
Oh... just extreme introversion, like a turtle drawing its head into its shell, followed by long periods of isolation.
Y'know, the healthy way!

I don't. Rejection brings me down hard until I just forget about it all together. I think the fear of rejection holds me back from a LOT. Deep down I'd rather just not try than try and face the possibility of rejection. Not a conscience choice or anything, but I just can't seem to get over it.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

by only envisioning situations where i could get rejected and never actually making them a reality.
that and not really caring.
