The sting of rejection hurts, and there’s no way to avoid it. Even the strongest people often feel psychological and emotional distress after they’ve been rejected. The feeling to belong and connect with other people is an instinct born in humans, and the fear of rejection can make you shy away from good experiences.Rejection comes in all shapes and sizes. You can be denied for a position you applied for that would bring more money to your family, or you can be turned down by a love interest who stole your heart. Whatever the vehicle that brings rejection into your life, it isn’t a pleasant experience.Part of the reason why this heartache cuts like a knife is because rejection prompts the same region of the brain as physical pain. According to a study published by the National Library of Medicine, the right ventral prefrontal cortex registers this emotional pain on the same level as something you experience in your body.Given this scientific information, it’s easy to see why so many people fear.
🔥WAYS TO OVERCOME YOUR FEAR OF REJECTION🔥
Here are some ways to conquer your fear of rejection and learn that stepping out of your comfort zone will not always mean disappointments.
1. KNOW YOUR WORTH
Many people struggle with the fear of rejection because they don’t know their worth.
2. VALIDATE YOUR FEELINGS
No one says that rejection is easy, and when you’ve been hurt so deeply, it’s okay to validate that feeling. An easy way to get it all out is through journaling.
3. REJECT THE SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY
Do you know what a self-fulfilling prophecy is? If you believe that you will never meet anyone to share your life with, you won’t meet anyone. It would be best if you had the right mindset to achieve greatness. People won’t be attracted to someone who is down on themselves, and neither will prospective employers. Stop letting the past dictate your future, as it’s doing nothing but holding you back.
4. FOCUS ON HOW YOU WANT TO BE
Don’t focus on what happened yesterday but set your sights on your future.
5. YOU’RE NOT ALONE IN THESE FEELINGS
Fear can be isolating, and it can grip the very fibers of your being. However, you can take comfort in knowing that you’re not alone. People have been facing rejection since the dawn of time, and it’s nothing that’s going to go away.

6. USE POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS
Instead of speaking negativity into your being, why not try the power of positive thinking? Positive affirmations are a useful tool to help you boost your esteem. How can you feel disappointed in yourself if you are constantly reminding yourself of things like:
•I am loved.
•I will accomplish anything I set my mind to do.
•I’ll get the job I’ve always wanted.
•I am surrounded by people who are supporting me.
•I will find the man/woman of my dreams.
7. FACE THE FEAR HEAD ON
it would help if you faced your fear head on to learn how to conquer it. Put yourself in situations where you know you will be rejected and feel those emotions but move on. The more you are exposed to the situation, the less impact it will have on you.
8. REMEMBER YOU WILL SURVIVE
Remind yourself continuously that rejection isn’t going to kill you. With every risk you take in life, there is a 50/50 chance of success. So, you have just as much of a chance of winning as you do of losing, but the only thing that will be hurt is your pride.
9. REDEFINE THE MEANING OF REJECTION
Perhaps the reason why rejection hits you so hard is how you’ve defined it in your mind. You may see being rejected and relate it to a horrible childhood incident, or it may trigger abuse that happened to you. You need to redefine rejection and come to terms with what it means to you versus what it is.
10. GAIN PROPER PERSPECTIVE AND CLARITY
It’s helpful to talk to someone else to help you gain some perspective from the situation. Maybe you asked a girl or guy out on a date and felt the pangs of their rejection.
However, it might not have been you that they were rejecting; it could have everything to do with where they’re in life. If you see the situation from all sides, it will help you put things into perspective and clarify things.

11. DON’T GIVE IT POWER
The more power you give something, the stronger it will be to overcome.
The more you dwell on it and pick at the situation, the more pronounced the fear will become. Something that started small can fester into a huge mental stumbling block.
12. USE IT FOR SELF-DISCOVERY AND GROWTH
Most things in life can be used as a growing experience. Think of relationships you’ve had in the past that didn’t work. There are always some good parts as well as some bad.
You take the good things and carry them on eagerly, but you take the bad and use them as a lesson. Let your fear of rejection become a lesson that motivates you to greatness.
13. TRY THERAPY
Many different types of therapy can help you to overcome your fears. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is one of the most used ones today, and it’s extraordinarily successful. When dealing with mind over matter issues, having a professional who knows the mind’s inner workings can help immensely.
14. LEARN TO MEDITATE AWAY THE NEGATIVE
Meditation is an excellent tool for clarifying the noise in your mind by learning to become centered. This ancient art has been used for centuries to help those that need grounding and clarity. Both guided and unguided versions can help conquer your fears and put anxiety to rest.
15. SET YOURSELF UP TO WIN
While there’s no way to protect yourself from being rejected, you can put yourself in situations where you know you’ll win. In card games, people stack the odds in their favor before making a bet, so they know they will be victorious.
Don’t try out for jobs that you probably won’t get, and don’t ask people out that you know you won’t be interested in. Ensure that you have a full house before you jump; it just reduces the odds and can subside your fear of rejection.

People make time for who they want to make time for. People text, call and reply to people they want to talk to. never believe anyone who says they’re too busy. If they wanted to be around you, they would.

When someone is in lack & separation from what they desire,then it makes sense they may cheat,lie,steal,compete,or act out in some way just to immediately get what they want.They're wondering why their life hasn't changed,yet they're not connected to the emotions of their future.

Stay connected to that vision of the ‘you’ that exists in a probable future by defining who you want to be, and become it, everyday. If you’re serious about creating a new future, then you better be engaged in the process of creating a vision of the future.
