Handling Rejection! (Page 4)

* Don’t Take it Personally:
In many cases, the so-called rejection may have nothing to do with you at all.
For instance, someone may reject your advances because you remind them of someone from their past (not your fault), they are having a career crisis (not your fault) or are dealing with some other pressing personal issue that they elect not to explain (again, not your fault).

* Silence your Inner Child:
The Inner Child often overreacts and feels the whole world has turned thumbs down and that true love will never come (insert high-pitched wail here). Our adult selves know this is simply not true yet the words of our Inner Child ring in our ears.

* Don’t Let it Rattle You:
Don’t let a negative response shake your confidence.

* Think of It as a Favor

* Turn It into a Positive
Sounds cheesy but you can make rejection work as a motivator for self-improvement. "Knock-backs aren’t fun, that’s for sure.

* Don’t Dwell on It
