Nobody likes being rejected, but rejection does not mean there is something wrong with you. An early rejection can save you a great deal of grief later on.
Then there are those times when what you have is not really what you want, but you convince yourself to settle for it anyway.
Well, if the other person rejects you, you are saved from having to run away.
Rejection is only damaging when you start out believing you are not complete.
When you enter a relationship needy and unfulfilled, rejection can be a damaging blow.
In those situations you must not shrink away feeling defeated and afraid; you must ask what is it that this person has, and why you don't think you can get it anywhere else.
If you understand that you can only draw to yourself what you already are, you can see rejection in another light.
When you enter any relationship, you want to be and feel the best you can.
If you get rejected, it might simply mean you have a little more work to do.
When I accept me no one can reject me.

Thanks Mel. Thanks Fairies. I accept me, so I'll be okay today. Tomorrow I'll start again and hope I still feel the same way, but today, it is ingrained in my head and it is none of my business what anyone thinks of me.
I'm on the road for a couple of days. I'll check in when I get there.
Peace and good thoughts sent your way.
I think a lot of times people take rejection far more personally than they should.
If someone doesn't take what I offer, that probably just means they didn't want or need it- not that they don't want or need me.
Oh brother...I wish I had read this back when I was much younger and dependant on being accepted and concerned about being rejected.
But that's growth, right?
Like I've shared in past posts, my childhood experiences taught me a wonderful lesson. And something that the fairies said so clearly and beautifully....
"When I accpet me no one can reject me."
Thank you for the reminder, fairies!
And thank YOU, Mel, for sharing the fairies!

This is good advice for young people who are in and out of relationships and feel hurt by rejection.Really good perspective to have.
