Rejection means a lot of things from different perspectives.
It comes with a lot of emotions we have to deal with.
The funny thing is, some people grew with it from childhood to adulthood while some met it along the way.
Rejection does not have to come from the big things, it comes from the very little things too.
Rejection from family, colleagues, friends, society, or partners is a very painful and devastating state to be in but, how you respond says if you want to heal from it or remain where it met you.
Rejection affects one’s self worth and esteem. You begin to think there’s something wrong with you or maybe you are not just good enough.
As a child, you begin to see life in a different perspective. You start to grow in your own world filled with so many pictures and traumas that grows with you to a point you build a strong wall around you in fear of being rejected again.
You become scared of attachments which results to you pushing people away when they try to get close..Hey!!! This happens to adults too.
Oh yes, someone is already trying to figure out why some people behave the way they do. Rejection is a whole lot of weight to carry but, you could make that weight very light by being intentional about your mental health.
Personally, I feel why people get sick (in all areas) after being rejected by anyone or anything is the fact that there was no communication whatsoever to why there was a “Rejection“ in the first place.
Communication within yourself and communication from other parties. It feels difficult but, that’s the first step to getting healed.
Sadly, everyone has in one way or the other experienced rejection.
it is said that, the brain response to rejection is similar to physical pain.
It is even more painful if you are a very sensitive person. It hits differently.
You practically live in self denial and rejection because your brain can not carry it all. You become psychologically, mentally, and emotionally sick.
That’s the point you need to get up and face yourself and those “DEMONS”
Accept the rejection. it’s going to really be a hard one but that’s even a bigger step.
Allow yourself to feel it in anyway.
Understand it. Ask yourself questions.
Where did this rejection come from?
How did it happen?
How should I take it?
Should I keep living in it or get back on my feet and face it?
Never ever blame yourself. That’s a wrong thing to do when faced with rejection.
It’s not always about you or your flaws.
Love yourself. Don’t be hard on yourself. Allow people that genuinely love, respect and care for you around you.
Don’t chase them away.
If it requires you seeking professional help, please… do that immediately.
The best part… Always remember God never rejects you regardless.
