Dealing with rejection from "summary" of Unfinished Memoirs by
Facing rejection can be difficult and intimidating, and it often leaves us feeling hurt and disheartened. However, learning how to cope with it is essential to maintaining our mental and emotional balance in life.- Rejection can feel like a heavy burden, especially when you’ve worked hard for something and it doesn't come to pass. Although facing this disappointment can be tough, you should remember that feeling of rejection is natural, so don’t beat yourself up unnecessarily.
- No matter how difficult it may be, try to remain positive and allow yourself to keep trying even if failure is experienced. People may reject something about you, but always remember that it isn’t reflective of your entire identity.
- Remember to have faith in yourself and appreciate the unique qualities you bring to the table that nobody else does. Comparing yourself to others or diminishing yourself due to inconveniences won’t help the situation and will only harm your self-image.
- Lastly, it can be beneficial to talk to supportive people, seek counseling, or find a network of individuals who are also going through a similar situation — don’t be afraid to reach out! There is likely no shortage of somebody willing to listen and provide invaluable words of encouragement and strategies to overcome setbacks.
