Rejection: How Do You Respond To It?

I was accepted in to be a part of a Facebook group a couple days ago and saw a woman’s question in it regarding what to do if you get rejected and how you should respond. I know the feeling of rejection in all areas of my life… work, school, family, friends, dating. I got picked last for many projects and activities in school. I would get to know someone and then be ignored or cast aside.

People have a natural inclination to want to be accepted by others, but what they don’t realize sometimes is that the acceptance may be for an artificial or created part of themselves that they used to be accepted. Breaking it down, if we really want to choose to be accepted by someone, what are we being accepted for? The desire of acceptance may come from having a lack of it in the past. We may be sick of the hurt, exhaustion and sadness that rejection can bring.

Not knowing what the future path of my life was, I had to sit with rejection and feel it constantly. I didn’t have many friends. I was constantly avoided or picked last for school projects and activities. I applied to several jobs and never got calls back. I chose to be alone most of the times because I didn’t want to fight anymore to be understood.

I understand rejection to its fullest extent. Rejection is part of a natural flow of life. It allows us to face ourselves in a more intense way. When we are being rejected, it means that there is another place for us. It is the Universe saying that the energy doesn’t match.

Rejection is normal. If we were to agree with anything and everything, we would be a robot. Focus on establishing a genuine connection with someone. Once you have that authenticity in mind and in your energy, you will cause the people that are in denial or unwilling to face themselves on an authentic level to reject you. This is letting you know that it is time to move on. Accept it as a process.

In the dating world, we will get rejected. We will get rejected in some way even with our partner. Our partner is not going to agree with everything that we choose to do so we have to find a happy balance in the usage of our time and making time with our partner to have good energy and good moments with him or her.

There are energies that repel and attract each other. The energy imprint of who we are is described in our birth chart. We will not be understood or accepted by all energies. Sometimes we feel different ways when certain energies are around us. Energy may be too intense for us or bother us. Sometimes neediness creates a pull on someone’s energy and makes the other person tired. Learn to embrace rejection and know that it is time to go elsewhere for connection for new adventures and new possibilities.
