In this episode I explore the topic of rejection, what it is and why it can hurt. When have you felt rejected in your life and how did it make it you feel? Some examples of being rejected include
- not being successful in the job you applied for and so much desired.
- being rejected romantically
- someone ignoring a message you sent
- not receiving invitation to an event.
- not getting a promotion you feel you greatly deserved.
I also discuss what rejection really means and the fear rejection can create and how some people are more sensitive to rejection than others (eg, rejection sensitive dysphoria).
I also provide some tips one may find helpful in managing rejection.
