Hi Friend,
Everyone has been rejected... and it HURTS.
You may have been rejected by a family member, friend, coworker, relationship partner, someone on social media, or a person you don't even know.
Rejection brings other negative emotions to the surface also. Feeling unloved, betrayed, sad, angry, disappointed, unworthy, and scared are just a few, which is why it feels SO bad.
You might think it doesn't bother you, and that you just "get over it." And while that may be logic or personal growth, it could also be sweeping it under the rug and not dealing with your emotions at all. Be careful with that one! It causes physical illness.
Your subconscious mind automatically takes everything personally. So whether you admit it or not, rejection is painful.
When people reject you, it's because you are a threat to them in one of two ways:
Reason ONE: You may reflect what they can't be, do, or have and they feel worse about themselves when they are around you.
For example, a person who feels out of control of their life isn't comfortable around someone who has it all together.
Reason TWO: You may not align with their values and the plan they have for their life and future and it feels uncomfortable to be around you.
For example, someone who is loving and respectful doesn't align with a person who is rude and abusive.
Either way, it's about the person doing the rejecting and how they feel about themselves. Just like when you reject someone, it's all about you and how you feel about yourself.
Realize EVERYONE gets rejected. It hurts EVERY time, even when it makes complete sense. That's how we're wired.
Stand in your power: - Know your values and deal-breakers.
- Enforce healthy boundaries even with yourself when someone in your life needs to be let go.
- Instead of spending money ON yourselfso others will like you, invest money IN yourself so YOU will like you. Then the right people will be drawn to you naturally.
