The Silent Treatment

In some instances (many), I have been rejected. Any kind of rejection, no matter if it's in love, career, friends, or anything else, is difficult to bear. Rejection is definitely not a fun thing. But, upsetting as it is, the more we deal with it, the more we grow as people.

I had acknowledge that anyone can be rejected, no matter who they are. And how we react to rejection varies from person to person. When I get rejected in any way, I just think of a new door opening after the old door is slammed. Maybe I did miss out on something good, the new door could be much better. Keep going.

Nope, I am not rejected (romantically) lately folks. I was, few months back but I got over it. Thanks to you.

You have to become robotic when dealing with rejection. You have to treat it like it never happened in the first place and keep moving forward. It's like the old training the gave salesmen long ago "pretend you didn't hear no".
Shay teddybear
we have already been all rejected and we all know the feelings connected with that. The reason of rejection is... to find the way to myself.
Shay, I am in a hurry, work... you know .... but I wish you a wonderful day today and all the best.

Each rejection is a learning experience if you see the lesson. thumbs up There are some handle rejection with rage or aggression. And that becomes scary.

Thank you. You too, deserve a great guy. He'll come in the right time. bouquet teddybear


Morning Shay wave

Life will always be a magical mystery tour - doors will always open & sometimes will close but the important thing is that we all get on that magical mystery tour bus & experience what life has too offer if it works out great but if it doesn't there is always another bus to catch - what I'm really saying is be positive which I know you are & always be happy that's the most important thing.

The Beatles will always bring a smile to my face - they talk about life's experiences.

Have a great evening, the sun is shining in Dublin dancing

cool
Felix, wave Good morning to you also. Thanks for the video. thumbs up

'Though I feel being really down from time to time, having positive outlook is a natural trait. I am willing to take the bus ride, smooth, bumpy or rough, I'll hold on to the rail. hug
Morning Shay,

True! no body likes to be rejeacted but sometimes we have to deal with that.Nice topic thumbs up

wish you a lovely Monday!



hug wave
Shay laugh

The bumpy rides are sometimes the best experience but you always have the next stop - and that's the beauty of the magical mystery tour.

cool grin
I can handle it (in relationship environment), now - not when I was younger! very mad frustrated That's the main reason, I excelled at sport, dance, music, hobbies, etc - so I didn't have to make the approach! doh grin I still DON'T!winkinnocent

For for Providence to make matters worse (and teach me the same lesson), my primary (high paying) job at once stage was "New Business Development Manager"! Caramba! mumbling mumbling I still cringe at the thought! hole hole hole frustrated
Morning to you too Lazly. bouquet

Yep, that's life (video). thumbs up

"The nice way to get over rejection is to learn from the rejection and move on. Being rejected is not the end of anything; it is the beginning of learning. "
Felix, thanks again. hug

And if it is still bumpy, maybe the bus was not meant for me and the road it travels. I'll get on another, hopefully the right direction and right one. wink

Me talking of buses...grin
Kuya El, wave hug

Hmm, reminiscing the past. You made rejection (romantically) as your motivation to succeed on other aspects. No hard feelings and got on. thumbs up
shayhug That's a very good thoughtthumbs up Keep thinking positively in hard situation like this comfort

I think almost all of us had experienced the unpleasant things getting rejected blues and I agreed to what you have said that there are many other doors yet to be opened which fit us better to gain what we have been trying to achieve in our lives wink bouquet
Lachi, wave Hmm, hard it may seems but bearable. wink

The best we can do, cope well from rejection. Not to enjoy rejection but to take it as a vital part of life. hug
@shay Good evening! But wondering who/what dare to make you think by this way (sad blog)!!! However, relating rejection and wound here is my share…

We're born into this world
We live day to day
Supposed to be our own person
No matter what they say

Through the good and the bad
WE still carry on
Each day a new beginning
Even if our souls are gone

They don't seem to understand
That Some wounds may heal
But we're still left with scars
And nights full of fear

It will get better with time
Get over it and be strong
They don't see the inside
Or they'd realize they're wrong

So some wounds never heal
Each day it's more of the same
Each day a living hell
Trapped by our pain
crying crying crying

I got home a while ago.Just to greet you kamusta kapatidhug ingat lagiteddybear
My means of handling rejection is not to REACT to it but to RESPOND to it in my own personal way, because to react is to remain in a place in which you are still vunerable to the Rejector. To respond, is to take all the pain and hurt into your own hands, and say to yourself: " I have control... how will I handle this." You then place the rejector out of your decision and you are the one who will decide the outcome of the rejection, by doing this.
wish you all the best the brave little shay hug hug teddybear teddybear lips wink
Guess, Good evening to you also. wave

No inspiration whatsoever. Well, I just thought of a small crush and I wonder if I tell him I have a crush on him, I'll be rejected. Not really a sad blog, just a little thought blog.

Beautiful poem. Sad but absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

I can see you also had some "rejections" before. I can empathize with you. It hurts but let time heal all the wounds. And open your heart for the healing. It will pass. comfort hug
Silverlining2, wave

Great to see you in the blogs. cswelcome

Yes, pain teaches lesson and the hurt does go away if we let it. Must turn the rejection into an acceptance of ourselves for who we are and not what we feel the other person wants us to be. Do not try to change oneself only to impress someone else. Someone will accept us as the person that we are and will feel the same way about us. It only takes time and patience.

I did use the "us" word to refer to all.
Bandido ...hope its okay I am calling you bandido Sur. wave

I do get sensitive when comes to things like rejection too. A Leo trait. hug
Hi Ate Marlene. Okay lang po ako. Sana kayo din po, as well as your family. hug teddybear
@Shay

Shay, rejection comes in many forms. When you pass by someone who takes an interest in what you have to say..... but then you do not take less than a minute of your life to even acknowledge that person, then you have just rejected that person. Can you guess who I am talking about??? Learn from your own actions Shay.scold scold
Springlark, wave

To respond, is to take all the pain and hurt into your own hands, and say to yourself: " I have control... how will I handle this." thumbs up

What you tell yourself is what you will believe, so tell yourself that no matter what, you are going to get through this and move on. It is always helpful to focus on the end of the hurt and pain rather than focusing on the pain itself.
I know exactly what you are telling me now Springlark. I wanted to mail you about that but I am blocked to mail you. So I here in the blogs, I will tell. I think its not that a sensitive issue and I'm gonna tell anyway.

I don't approve friend request from those who I didn't have any correspondent at all. As you can see my friends are bloggers and I have exchanged emails from them and in a way we know (a bit) each other already. I don't just add up without knowing someone. Sorry, but that's how I do here.
Sister, hi wave

Thank you for the wishes. Same goes to you. hug bouquet
@Shay: I was not talking about you and I being friends. I was simply telling you that if someone (in this case Me) is trying to help you and gives a bit of their own experience of how they handle what you have been talking about, It is only common decency to acknowledge that person as a human being. But you felt you could not bother to waist your time to do this simply act. You should not expect to find an answer to your rejection if you can not show respect to others.
Oh, my bad, if that's how my actions meant to you. Its acceptance and moving on, right.
Shay You seem to have a good head on your shoulders yes rejection is hard but just as you said for every door that closes a new one opens. I have been rejected and I have rejected some just because I was afraid they wanted more than I was interested to give neither one is easy to live with for me but I think I can live with the rejection better than giveing the rejection. You have a great day
Explorer, hi wave I wanna say again I am happy that you have already found the one for you.

We have been rejected and have rejected some. I believe all those happened for a reason.

Awesome Monday to you also. bouquet
@shay28 That you know about me is right but not complete naturally! Okay, in your case I can ask how you know (so certain) that you will be rejected where even you didn’t convey him! Let suppose, basing on some evidence if you are pretty sure that you will be rejected still if that person is meant for you then one day… so, just try to become his remote friend (I don’t know where you got him) and keep your mind open for anything… if it happens it will, if not then at least you will spend some healthy friendly moments with him! BUT if he even rejects you in the friendship matter then any way you both have very different chemistry! In that case forget him as early as possible! Shay, I can suggest but you know decision will be yours where by your reply @explorer6 you know “We have been rejected and have rejected some. I believe all those happened for a reason.” … who knows may be one day this 'reason' will go away! Wish you a bright and happy life! All the best to the best person! Happy Tuesday to you!bouquet bouquet bouquet handshake
PS @shay 2 times I wanted to send some inspirational message but my area is blocked by you but I didn’t mind it… it’s ok!handshake
Good day to you Guess. hug

I am taking notes from the points you have given to me. Thank you Guess. You are right, I should have ask the guy I have got a crush on, but I just think ahead and assume he'll reject me.

Have a great day to you also.

By the way, i had change my mail settings and you can be able to send me messages anytime.
