In this episode, we talk about the 5 main reasons why we stay around and keep trying to re-connect with somebody who rejects us. Let’s clarify something about rejection hurts –it definitely hurts! Research is pretty clear on that part – getting rejected is the same as the experience of physical pain so it is not something that you can easily ignore. But the same as physical pain – you can actually distract yourself from it, but if it continues, it becomes chronic. So the very first reason why we stay in such situations is that we have normalized it.
