Importance of Rejection

[aioc]

I can accept rejection; it's part of our lives. This is a time to reflect on our strengths and weaknesses; it's essential to assess our character so we can continually become better individuals.
Our personality is always a work in progress. We must never stop learning, never stop upgrading ourselves, and part of that is rejection, so we should welcome rejection; it should be part of our system

These are the things you must go through in order to grow and find a path that would be favourable to you...rejection is an eye opener, it is capable of bringing out new ideas and also pushing  you to go beyond your limits and also trying out new things...sometimes what we think we have to offer is outdated, if we don't get rejected we wouldn't get the push to try different things or work on improving

You cannot do something good in yourself if you never experience rejection; it's part of our lives, a reminder that we are not perfect and that we should strive to be better.
Someone cannot become a better individual by doing everything right and having people praise him; only through rejection can you see what is wrong with you and correct it.
People are sensitive to rejection; they believe they are not good enough. This mindset should be changed, and we should accept rejection if we want to improve our lives.

This is a very helpful post, and it's relevant. I'm also interested in this skill, and I recently read a book about it. It's a fairly common topic, as many people are very afraid to say no to others. They could simply not do what others demand of them. There was an interesting book about a guy who made it his goal to say no to everyone who asked him to do something he didn't want. It was a very interesting book, because by saying no, the guy became more self-actualized and successful because he focused on his own internal goals rather than on satisfying the desires of others.

Rejection is not always a learning experience, sometimes it's just a result of circumstances or human limitations, there is no rule that everyone will understand your worth. So the idea that rejection means you have to fix yourself also creates stress, In my opinion the real thing is how you treat yourself after rejection. Don't belittle yourself and don't be unnecessarily stubborn. Look at where you went wrong and let go of the rest. Not all rejections are worth bearing, ignoring some rejections is part of self respect.

Rejection is one of the conditions where we will always avoid it and we definitely don't like it but in the end this condition will become commonplace when we have become a person who is responsible for ourselves or are already in the adult phase to be able to navigate life independently.

Maybe when we were children this kind of thing was not too pronounced but when we are already in the adult phase then in the end rejection seems to be daily food when we start a business, look for work and more.
In the end, this condition is inseparable and we cannot continue to avoid it because even though it will be very disappointing when there is rejection of us in the end there will always be something we can take from a positive perspective because in fact we also need rejection in life to make us more mature in responding to something.

6. Confidence: Rejection actually makes someone build confidence i.e you know you’ve once failed and want to try again because you know you can do better thereby helping you boost confidence.

What concerns me is point number 6: Confidence. It's not easy to regain self confidence after experiencing rejection, especially more than once. I can say this because I've been there myself. Sometimes, because my confidence is shattered, I struggle to take the next step. I'm afraid of being rejected again. The more it happens, the more painful it becomes, and the cycle never ends.
Do you have any tips on how to get through this?

Rejection can actually be a tough spot most times, especially when you're so close to getting something you've really worked hard for and not everybody can pick themselves up from that spot because a lot of person can go into depression, lost of hope and the desire to keep going on with lives activities keeps dropping down.

Rejection is important as it challenges you to keep developing yourself, and availing yourself to a place of growth, knowledge, and more learning.

Rejection create rooms for self evaluation, self awareness, it opens one up to know the areas where you need to work on yourself, it helps you to know how valuable you're, it also boost self worth, and helps you to know your areas of strength as well.  A friend mine applied for a job, went for the interview, and was denied of that job, she quickly dusted herself and now works in a better place.

Well, I don't think anyone can actually live their entire life without facing rejection in one way or the other, it could be work, business, relationships and it can even come from family members. Most times facing rejection is another sign telling you to make move and leave that your comfort zone to a place where you can find yourself.

If you give up after being rejected, you are not willing to learn anything because when you get rejected, you are supposed to be motivated to work on your weakness because you will be told your weakness against further opportunities.
If you are rejected, it is an opportunity for you to learn and prepare yourself more, do not take it personal and keep trying to boost your confidence because you are the only person to correct yourself.

Everyone will like to always be among the accepted once, but we can’t avoid rejection because FAIL can stand due First Attempt, In Learning; so do not give up, make sure you try a game.

6) Confidence: If you haven't been rejected once or twice you wouldn't know the importance of building self confidence. A lot of people easily give up today because growing up they got everything easy and they have never had to be rejected before getting what they want but your experience will teach you of the need to build yourself, trust that you can get better at what you were told you can't do and the need to do it again even when you failed countless times, rejection is part of the things that helps you discover who you are and the power you have if you don't give up.

Yeah, may this can be referred to the people who are born with silver's spoon and their lives later turn around, some might find it very difficult to stand strongly on their in order to bring out the best in them to prevent themselves from being a liability. But some might chooses to accept their fate and work very hard to the best of their knowledge. While some will find it very difficult to believe that life will not always work per their wish. These kind of people with that mindset will never want to be rejected because it going to serve as an insult to them. The best thing to build confidence in yourself and boldly face whatever life throws at you, and must importantly, always believe in your abilities and capabilities.

It is a useful information but it takes someone who is ready to grow not to allow rejection to bring them down especially if the rejection has to do with body shaming but if it is rejection as a result of searching for work, that should be understandable and easier to fix with putting more effort to upgrade yourself. However, if a rejected person is able to over come such rejection, they come out meritorious having worked hard to fix whatever they were rejected for.

There is a set of people that rejection or failure is not in their books, that is the purposeful people. If you are a purposeful person, it is your goal that will be the driving force for you and it will not matter to you how many times have been rejected. There are people who contest election severally and at a point they were elected. Also most inventors and scientists don't succeed at first trier but they kept being consistent until they got the break and became successful.

Nice write up but what I think is that, Rejection brings about pain and anger. The wise look inwards and work on these qualities they need to improve, they do not see no as a sign to hate on whoever rejected them but as a blessing for bringing out the parts of them they have never thought would be explored.
I am in love with people who do not turn bitter or become enemies with people who tell them no or reject them, it is just a chance to work on yourself better. Life is not all about the good things, but the rejections and downsides are blessings to those who have the foresight.

We have to look at it from two sides and it is undeniable that rejection will cause pain, but on the other hand, rejection must also be done if it is contrary to ourselves, in my opinion it is better for us to refuse than to force something to be done even though we don't want it and we also don't need to think about the impact of what other people feel, life has choices and we are free to choose.

I know it’s not easy to take rejection and it can be frustrating but what I’ll just advise you is to keep pushing through and believe in yourself that you can do it. Let’s take a case study of someone that has been looking for a job for 5 years and it’s until the 5th year he landed himself a good job. Now why was he able to finally land himself a good job?. The answer is because he was confident, resilient and hopeful that a good job will come, he had the confidence and believed in himself and did not allow multiple rejections stop him from applying. Such is life, so just keep pushing and I believe everything has its time. Never be too quick to give up.

At some point, there are also people who, after experiencing rejection, lose their confidence and need some time to recover.
But once they recover, they usually don't give up easily anymore. They begin to develop a stronger mentality in facing rejection. The point is that rejection can build a person's mentality to a higher level.

This is the same concept as someone who starts a business and experiences failure. But those who get back up and try again usually have a better mindset for the next attempt. This makes them better prepared for the next attempt.

man that story about the 5 year job hunt is heavy but it really shows that timing is everything in this world, if that guy had quit in year four he would have missed the best opportunity of his life, idc how many times you get a no it only takes one big yes to change your whole trajectory, in crypto it is the same way where you might get rekt on ten different alts but then one solid play makes up for all of it and more, stay resilient and keep pushing because the only way to truly fail is to stop trying haha

We all understand how hard it is to take rejections but I believe in life they are some importance and positive sides of rejection that most people fail to realize. Most people tend to give up, loose hope, become scared and have low self esteem when rejected. But I believe after most of you come across this thread, you will never feel too bad when rejected

No one is born perfect; we can only become consistent. The only way to become consistent is to know our flaws and mistakes, and the way to do that is to accept rejection and do something about why we are rejected.

Rejection is part of life; we should accept it, welcome it, and stay open-minded. All the best minds in our generation accept rejection and improve their ways of thinking until they reach a level where they can explore their area of expertise with accuracy.
In my case, I have a lot of rejections. I thought those were bad, but I realize they were meant to leave room for significant improvement.

There are thousands of articles and Youtube videos about overcoming fear of rejection and dealing with this issue. OP, your forum thread doesn't contribute to the topic by adding something new. I was into self-improvement years ago and I've seen and heard the things you mention in your forum thread about a thousand times. Fear of failure is a huge problem and reading a bunch of sentences about rejection being an opportunity doesn't solve the problem. I've tried several methods to handle my fear of rejection(and fear of failure) and I still can't stop feeling that particular fear of getting rejected. Sometimes you just have to take action despite having that annoying gut feeling of anxiety and stomach pain.
