I have been rejected severally and I know most of us have also passed through this painful ordeal. I wouldn't wish this for anyone since I know how painful it can be. I really don't think there is anyone who don't know what rejection is all about but for clarity sake, let's see rejection from this angle.

Most time we get turned down or excluded in a way that impacts our emotions and feelings and this often occurs in our interpersonal relationships and can be very painful and emotionally draining. This is the rejection I am talking about.
Apparently, rejection can happen in all spheres of life and to anybody irrespective of your class or status. It can happen when you have romantic feelings for someone who does not reciprocate these feelings (worse kind of feelingš¤§), it can happen when you feel excluded or get ignored by friends or peer groups, and it can also happen when your family disapprove of your choices or disowns you.
However, I feel the most important form of rejection can come from within us (I don't know if we understand what I mean). I feel that the negative perception of ourselves can lead to us believing that we are unlovable or unworthy of any emotional connections and this can lead to us feeling rejected. When we start feeling this way, it affects our relationship with those around us which can even lead to a lot of negative things.
Everyone can agree with me that rejection can be deeply distressing and can lead to feelings of sadness, loneliness, and low self-esteem. It's very important to seek support from family, trusted friends, or even a therapist if you're struggling with rejection since these feelings can have a significant impact on your mental health and well-being.
If we are to deal with rejection properly, I will advice we try to always see the bright side of everything that happens to us. I feel we should try not to dwell too much on everything that's gone wrong in our life because those days are going to come. Those times when we don't feel great, those times when we feel like the world is against us, those times when we will feel unloved, those times are going to come.
Since we know that these times will surely come, how prepared are we? When these times do come, we are going to have to someway, somehow rise above it because there's so much more to life than one person who doesn't like us.
Do we even know how many people we have in the world today? Okay, here's what I found online; we have more than 8 billion people in the world today and having one person ghosts us or one person rejects us shouldn't in any way affect us.
We need to start working on our self-esteem and self-compassion because that will definitely help us cope with and recover from any form of rejection.
