Is it normal to get rejected?!

Hi friends!

Last week, we talked about building our confidence and figuring out what affects it. Today, we’re zooming in on one of the main factors that can influence our self-confidence… The topic of rejection.

Rejection can feel like a punch in the gut :pensive:, whether it’s from friends, school, or someone you like. Sometimes we may wonder, “is it normal to feel this down and sad when I get rejected?” - The answer is YES, it IS natural to feel hurt, and question your worth when it happens.

Rejection can make us doubt ourselves, shaking our confidence and leaving us wondering what we did wrong. But here’s the thing—rejection doesn’t define who you are. It’s a normal part of life that everyone experiences, even if it doesn’t feel that way in the moment.

Sometimes, rejection is more about the situation or the other person than about you. It can be an opportunity to reflect, grow, and build resilience. :muscle: Each time you face rejection, you learn more about yourself and become stronger. It’s okay to feel sad or disappointed, but don’t let it hold you back.

Here’s a thought for today:
How do you handle rejection when it happens? Let’s share our experiences and support each other! :hugs:

Hey everyone!

Following the post, I just want to encourage us that it’s completely natural to feel upset when faced with rejection, but remember, it’s also a chance for growth. Rejection can feel like a setback, but it’s really a stepping stone towards understanding yourself better and refining your goals.

When we encounter rejection, let us remember that it’s not a reflection of our worth. Instead, it’s a moment to pause and reassess. Maybe it’s a sign that you’re on the brink of something new or that there’s a better fit out there for you. Embracing these moments as learning opportunities can help shift your perspective and build resilience. :muscle:

So, how do you turn rejection into a chance for growth? Let’s discuss and support each other through these experiences! :blush:
